As I started off from Delhi, I felt strangely excited and sad. Sad because I would be leaving my family and it almost broke my heart bidding them goodbye. Excited because I was going to a place which is the least known amongst Punjabis.
My knowledge about Gujarat, I must confess is frightfully limited. For me, it meant a state where there is a lot of sweet food, lot of dhoklas and dandia with colourful clothes. Hence, I was strangely curious about this state.
As I landed, I was surprised to see such a silent airport. Being a Delhiite , this was a strange contrast. As I moved towards my destination, I was equally astonished to see the advancement that Gujarat has made. Compare this with a state such as UP, this state is progressing by leaps and bounds.
My entry won’t be complete without a mention on Gujarati folks. In the northern side, one is more used to language that may be a bid strong at time. But the folks, their hospitality and politeness has left me impressed.
I’ll close my entry here. I’ll write about my visit to Sabarmati Ashram in the next post. Till then cya…
