A few years back, I had the distinct privilege of doing a design/build in Auroville, India (which Jason King wrote recently here). We were making a rammed earth building for other American students to come to in order to help build this intentional community just north of the former French colony of Pondicherry, on India’s southeast coast.
All of that is secondary, though, to the creative genius of our videographer, Gabe Reed, who made our own Bollywood video. (And I was so sick that day…luckily all I had to do was sit by the pool).
