Yes, another K9er on the podcast. As long as K9 lives I will make it my mission to talk with as many residents as possible. Each story is similar and different at the same time and I always leave the conversation with new things to reflect on. Abhi moved in a bit after me and we've grown to become close friends, despite what he might say. We have debated K9 more times than I can remember, in our rooms, around the kitchen table, in the corridors, at the house meetings. We have also laughted until we cried and been there for each other when the tears were of sadness. In this episode Abhi shares his own K9 story, moving from India in "search of a better life" as he explains it, focusing on his studies at first until he started looking for something that had been missing since he left "home", this feeling of belonging to something/somehwere/some people? We talk about the ups and downs in a self run community, the progress the house made since I moved out 2 years ago, the importance of structures and how they can be source of conflicts themselves, the role of interior design, the fragile balance of "give & take" and, of course, the meaning of home.
