Auroville has recently been hit heavily by the Communication Wave. The less sensitive may not have felt it so clearly, but the Really Advanced Aurovilians immediately recognised the special nature of this new vibe, and reacted to it, albeit in different ways.

There were those who got involved in the organisation of seminars with communication as the main topic, such as the Soviet-American-Indian youth exchange programme mentioned elsewhere in this issue. There were those who decided to join efforts to publish .... guess ... right!, this monthly Auroville Today. And there were others who picked up the new vibe in another way and came up with a weekly newsreel on Auroville, Auroville NewsReal, presented on video by Yanne (in French) and Francis (in American English). The Auroville Video Team, consisting of Patricia and Alain, is responsible for the technical work. At 7.30 every evening Aurovilians can see Auroville NewsReal in the viewing room of Bharat Nivas. The reactions to this home video are positive (up to now) though many have difficulty following either the French or the English.
