Once upon a time there was a prince who had in his heart the purpose of becoming a cook. While his wife spent her idle days enjoying the boon resting on her silk pillow, he used to stand in a corner of the veranda and nervously stare at the length of the chimney as if to understand how much smoke it could contain and release while he was cooking his dishes rich in every aroma and delicacy.

C’era una volta un principe che aveva nel cuore il proposito di diventare cuoco. Mentre la moglie passava le sue oziose giornate a godersi la pacchia poggiata sul suo cuscino di seta, egli soleva starsene in un angolo della veranda e con fare nervoso fissava la lunghezza della canna fumaria come per capire quanto fumo potesse contenere e liberare mentre cuoceva le sue pietanze ricche di ogni aroma e prelibatezze.

Hi I am Francesca, an Italian who since 2013 has been living as a volunteer in that fantastic, complex and exciting experiment called Auroville, an international community located in Tamilnadu, in southern India. I opened this blog, to which the vlog of the same name is linked, because the time has come for me to delve into the art of writing. My dream is to be able to publish those short stories that I have been cultivating inside me for many years but have never yet dared to put on paper. Now I’m ready to give myself this chance and I’m definitely setting out on this new adventure. Would you like to take this journey with me?
