We planned to be in Auroville for 2 weeks at the most, and have ended up being here for 2 1/2 months. It's such a crazy place of juxtapositions and contradictions, crazy loons and the most sane down to earth people I've ever met. It's really inspiring and really frustrating but whatever you need to face, will somehow present itself to you.
We spent an intense month working with the Colours of Nature, to help them launch their brand new line of jeans - 100 percent eco friendly, hand dyed, hand loomed etc etc. I ended up doing a lot of writing, writing press releases and writing the entire blurb for the website. It was a great experience, working alongside Jesus and Ruby who run the company, Simar, Jigme and Sahil the designers and Anita who designed the logo. But it was tiring. The heat really kicked in after about 2 weeks and everyone found it harder to keep going. Honestly, the heat in South India in April-May is INTENSE! But we did it.
We found models, and took them to a canyon nearby with fossilised trees. I took the product shots, with the help of Lakshmi, a truly wonderful employee
of the company and the results of the whole thing can be seen at
GoIndigoJeans There's also an article published in the Deccan Chronicle which you can look at on this link. They basically used my press release and bob's photos, so it's pretty much been written by us so have a look here:

Love the picture of the tree
So there are enterprises down in Auraville. What made you decide to leave? Things are going steady at the Blahs, we are almost ready to make our new web site live, driven by our embarrasment of the existing one which we cannot wait to replace. Lots of love, ant
