Can all Sundays and Mondays be this good? 😌 Of course, the day didn't start with breakfast but with breakfast hygiene seva on a Sunday... Don't you guys also feel that sometimes it would be easy if someone tells us what to do and we just do it right? Claude was my lead for the first seva, so we finished it right on time and had ragi porridge for breakfast.
And now comes the fun part: having lunch outside!! Dressed well, I mean dressed enough to get a tan for this year ;) So before we went to Serenity Beach, we went to Auroville bakery and had amazing coffee there, then headed to the beach to get some tan, and of course, I got not just enough tan but content as well. Plus, my me-time without using my mobile...
From there, as we had another service at 3 PM, we wanted to quickly eat something yummy and then head back. So for a change, we wanted to have a burger because enough of pizza in Pondicherry, man!!! Haha... We went to Cafe 73. While I ordered paneer and my friend Girish ordered a vegan burger, guess whose burger was yum!! Mine 🤓 Tummy was full so it was time to work hard now at Sadhana.
I had a one-hour buffer before my goshala seva started, so I had a power nap and later tagged along with Nipun!! And Bruna the pup joined me as well!! I missed the cows so much, and with extra love, I fed them with compost and later prepared their food. And then all came running toward me - clean sweep, did they like me or the food? Haha...
It was already 5 PM by that time, and I am a sucker for sunrises, but my second love is sunset. So all four of us went for a walk, caught the sunset, and later had our delicious dinner. Something which I really liked this year at Sadhana was the endless conversation and fun we had after meals or even while doing seva, which makes it feel like home... isn't it?
For strange reasons, I happened to join a crazy group to visit the Mud Pool :) Last year, I was with Chandan and Amer, and now with Girish, Vamsi, Vaish, and Inba... Ahh!!! I easily get scared and I get bluffed easily, and now that it's dark, I believed all sorts of scary stories while enjoying the pool experience. Hehe ;) And yes, we played the Instagram trend game "Chapak" and I did pretty well!!! I'll never forget the incidents that happened while we were going to the pool 😅
Came back, dried ourselves, and again our fun chats began, and I slept around 11... That was my Sunday...
Hey wait, we have Monday too!!! Woke up at 5:30 AM sharp, joined forest seva, and captured all the efforts that each volunteer put in with their heart and soul for the forest... By the time we came back, I was tired like hell and had a delicious breakfast and relaxed for a while...
Meet Mr. Beast (Buddodu) - look at him... 🥰 He was the sadhana's show stopper 👦🏼
And, I am sure you got to know why people do not fill buckets and buckets of water in Sadhana,
You might be wondering why I am getting dressed up and all, well wait, I was asked to do some content for Sadhana's Instagram handle, so like I said, anything for Sadhana :) So I indulged myself with everyone's help in creating the content for them which will be out soon!!!
And later, hey, it's Monday so the tea hut would be open, so all of us celebrated the closure of the shoot there with Sadhana's signature vegan tea + Raagi ladoo. And if you observe, one of the volunteers was also conducting a Mehandi workshop :) which I missed because we are going out for dinner, as we have only two more days left at Auroville. We started our bikes, raised the accelerator, and zoom we went to Pondicherry...
Had coffee first and then Pondi Beach which was 100m away... Spent quality time there, and while returning, we finally had Pondi Parotta and went back safely!!!! How amazing was my Monday?
