28 • Living between White Town & Auroville • @nivionthecoast
Born in Chennai, but Pondicherry stole my weekends until I finally moved here in 2021. I've stayed in everything from 18th-century Franco-Tamil mansions on Rue Suffren to bamboo treehouses off Auroville's red dirt tracks. I personally walk into these properties, test the Wi-Fi, check the bathroom water pressure, and check if parking an SUV will cause a traffic jam on Rue Dumas. No paid fluff, no robotic OTA listings — just raw, local truth.
