Aurevan + Dinesh

  We randomly chose Jean and Joy from the telephone directory.

  "Hi.  Is Jean there?"

  "Sorry, he is out of station..this is Dinesh"

  "Who?!"

  "Aurevan's.."

  Nadav and co. at the table whispered out (as the conversation was on loudspeaker) "invite them, invite them!"

  "Oh...yeah. Would you care to come for dinner at Lumière next week?" Honestly i knew the name from somewhere and the face popped up..

  They were house sitting Jean and Joy's place.  Relucant at first to come but with Aurevan's encouragement Dinesh confirmed over the phone they would come with a bottle of  syrup.

  Happy i was to have a young couple over for dinner. i know them but i dont know them.

  Over dinner we got to know them a little more..just a little cause we laughed and giggled so much that we were distracted from serious interrogation of our lives ;)

  what did we eat? oh yeah, indian.  Outside on our newly built "cuddapah" table, we ate under the jackfruit tree.

  Aurevan, Jean-Yves daughter, is busy with installing the history of Tibet at the Tibetan Pavilion.

  Dinesh, a young athletic young chap with a good sense of humor with an incredible acute listening capacity. must have gone to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram (with due all respect) lol.

  For me it was such a  relief to laugh and chat our hearts out after a tense and stressing week!

  It is a pleasure to sit with fellow Aurovilians and chat simply.  Randomly they were our guests.  After our meal, around 20h30 (still okay to call up another fellow randomly from the telephone directory) i landed upon Ashatit and Florence.

  A little tip when you chose, chose with a stick or something sharp so that you avoid selecting 2..)

  Excited and happy to be our guest, we arranged a dinner the next week.

  Aurevan and her chum (oops quebecois expression) were out of station so they postponed their invitation to a random person...as they needed also permission from other family members living in same space :)
