to me Sep 6 Hey Danny!Curious as to how you've been in India? How is the weather? How is life at the ashram?I'm writing you out of interest in India. I'm thinking of coming to visit in October/November. I haven't done much research yet and I don't know much about the area so I was wondering if you could give me some insight into life at the ashram and travel in India. How expensive is it to live at the ashram? Do I need to book a room ahead of time? How expensive is it to travel (hostels, food, buses)? What kind of visa would I need for a 3-6 month period? I looked into round-trip tickets to Chennai for late October, early November and they seem to be hovering around $1300. Is that about what you paid? Also, what is the weather like during that time of year? Does it cool down a bit in November/December? Please help me out and provide as much info as you can about the ashram, Pondicherry, and India in general (including websites that might be helpful and even what books I should be reading). Hope all is well in Pondicherry and I look forward to hearing from you!Best,Tim
