Sunlit Future

We are over here at Auroshilpam in Auroville. It is quite close to Pondicherry, but far enough that it feels like its own world sometimes. Sunlit Future is just what we call ourselves. We spend most of our days in this office, looking out at the trees. It’s not a very big operation, just a handful of us sitting at desks and making phone calls. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just sit there and talk until it comes back on. That is just how things go around here. The building isn’t anything fancy. It has some wear and tear, and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but it works for what we need. We handle a lot of different things related to energy, but we don't really talk about it in big words. We just show up, do the work, and go home. Usually, we have tea around four in the afternoon. Someone brings in some snacks from the local shop. You can hear the birds outside most of the time, which is nice. If you are coming from Pondicherry, it takes a little while to get here through the traffic, but once you reach Auroville, it gets much quieter. We have been in this spot for a good while now. The furniture is a bit old, and the fans make a clicking noise, but it feels like home to us. We just keep things moving along.
