Yes, it's official - I COULD sell my soul for an escargot (meaning "snail", a French flaky baked roll, also known as pain au raisins), a croissant or a pain au chocolat (no, it's not "a pain" this one, the word means bread in French!!). Here I was, sitting in Pondicherry, in the midst of a leather factory, pouring rain outside, and savouring all the above (with second helpings), brought especially from the Auroville bakery by Dilip Kapur, owner of Hidesign (http://www.hidesignleathers.com/).There is a particular bakery in Auroville (http://www.auroville.org/), an international "unity in diversity" township close to Pondicherry, where all these delicacies are wiped out by 8.30 am. And I know why!
