Ahmedabad Diaries! 

Dear Diary,

Here I am, stuck again! Ideally these are supposed to my last few hours here, before I head back to Delhi but my tickets are not confirmed yet. Thanks to K and his super-duper plans that this is happening for the second time with me in the past 15 days. It happened in Assam as well where my flight got cancelled and I had to get an another one for the next day (got a bonus day there!). Looks like this day's going to be bonus one too! ;) 

When it comes to Gujarat, I'll always be up for such bonuses! I worked here for good 2.5 years, in one of my favorite places - the place which taught me a lot, which gave me some 'life-long' (if I may use this term 😉) relations, some fantastic memories and a lot more! And while I still need to make up mind about what lies ahead (continued from the time of my previous write up - WELL FROM WAY BEFORE THAT), let me take a moment to remember the amazing last 5 days here, having spent them with my 'very special' (if I may use this term 😉) people! 

Gujju land has always come with its package of surprises for me. My all time favorite shopping spot - The National Handloom Emporium. I used to follow a very crazy routine when I was here (believe it or not) - I used to go there almost every Sundays and shop a nice Kurta for myself from there. By the end of those 2.5 years here, I would have owned (and still own) some 30 Kurtas, and 'Kurta-Denim Jeans' still is my dress-code almost on all days, where ever I go! 

As the custom routine, I went for Kurta shopping from National Handloom and bought a nice 'Haldi' color Kurta for myself (intelligent people would be able to guess why only 'Haldi' color 😊). And as I just mentioned about the surprise package, N surprised me there by showing up suddenly out of nowhere and I just could not control myself and shouted excitedly at the top of my voice, unintentionally grabbing the attention of almost everyone on the floor! 

My evenings were the usual 'junk' and conversations (not a lot though) about the 'junkies' of my life! 
Yesterday evening was even more special! Me and K were out at 11:30 PM, we hadn't had our dinner, so we were out this time to have special Noodles and Gujju Pizza! It was followed by a very special Gola place. K told me that this Gola guy makes 12K per day just by spending a few evening hours running this Gola stall! The Gola actually was delicious!!




I cannot ever forget the special evening when I asked to take me for a silent dinner, and then N arranged for something called as the 'moved by love dinner' for me, which was truly a moving experience! 




Thank you Ahmedabad! :)
