That intro, the tone through the piece, the way your experiences felt part of an ongoing thread of the theme you had set. And of course, the details about Pondicherry and Auroville. So good.
Did not expect to find as much as I found in the writeup. I hope the visit helped you and I had no idea you were writing while trying to reset yourself. I will shut up with the annoying reminders now. Wonderful write up. Most of us are following you and trying to find places and ourselves via your travels; I am glad I found them in this writeup. And much more.
Soaked in awe. How much hard work and solid spirit it must have taken for this piece to be so smooth to read for us, so rich to marvel at? I have been reading other posts too, and I am grateful for how you deglamourize and reenergise the idea of travel.
Well written Ila. It's so nice to see the off-beat places in Pondy written about. The place is more than the booze and beaches as it is known for in Chennai.
So good to read this meditative piece first thing in the morning.
Beautiful.

Ila, I envy you for these slow travels. I keep coming back to these meditative pieces.
Lovely post, IIa! Have never been to Pondicherry/Auroville, and now I know that when I do visit, I'll already feel at home :)
This is so good. Like therapeutic. Love your writing.
Excellent Ila

Thank you, ila.

This was so good Ila. I love how you have started reflecting about oneself in your posts and it's not just about the places anymore.
Looking forward to more such pieces!
