Hi,
Came here through your comment on mine. Fab pictures and must have been an amazing walk. In fact I think this is the Ahmedabad walk the Calwalks people were talking abt when I met them.

@placidfreedom

i don't blame you for having a certain picture of A'bad in mind; it's what all of us fall prey to. However, it's a great feeling to see that people now see my city with a different perspective.

Thanks for your comments and do keep writing in!

@dharmabum

:) i haven't been to purohit but have heard a lot about it. Must be having SWEET memories of that meal :)

@jenny

:) i'd love to show u my city, while having loads on tea on the way! Glad we 'met'

hello Bhumika, thanks for visiting our chai blog! it's so nice to 'meet' you. i feel like i found a treasure in your post today. your words and new eyes for your city are beautiful. i had wanted to visit Gujurat during our last trip, but it didn't work out. i hope we'll make it there and walk thru Ahmedabad with you! your genuine spirit is contagious. thanks for sharing across the world.

2008-07-16T23:20:00.000-08:00

of course i do, and i scout around for gujju restaurants down here in the south :)

i think that one where we went, it was called purohit or something!

2008-07-16T06:17:00.000-08:00

Amazing - I would just say thanks for sharing these pictures.

Somehow when I think of Ahmedabad, all I can think of is the government there that I can hate - the ideologies by the BJP are somethings that malign the image of this historic city and I end up always associating the city with the current rulers and hence cant appreciate the whole state much. blame it on the past rather.

All things aside, thanks for showing me this angle.

@dharmabum

taste has a unique way of keeping memories intact. Good that u still rembr the gujju food :)

@gauri

Man, u must go for this heritage walk. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. And i'd love to come for the second time :)

ekdam saachi vaat chhe!! However much I adore my place, I have really really wanted to explore the city like this.. take a heritage walk or something.. real shame.. when we were kids, my mama used to take us around as a part of little workshops he held.. he's an architect you know, so I am sure he knows not just Ahmedabad, but just about any city he's been to a tad better than a permanent resident.. I am digressing.. Wonderful wonderful post.. I think i need to put those two hours aside when I am home next..

2008-07-16T01:39:00.000-08:00

soothing is a ncie word for the script, it is indeed very artistic!

my dad took me to the city when i was a school boy, i remember the market place. but what i remember most is this restaurant - where we had some fantastic gujju food. and i ate and ate and ate :)

@vineeta

thank you so much for your generous comments :) believe me, had it not been for your post on the A'bad pols, i would have never given it a serious thought. So THANK YOU SO MUCH :) Hope to meet you someday in A'bad.

Bhumika! What lovely pics! I love your city :) and how right you are about not 'seeing' your city as well as a city u visit :) but you've done a brilliant job. & what a cute kid u look like :) I love it that you will be generous enough to share yourself so beautifully. I've never gotten the guts to do it :) And THANK YOU SO MUCH for linking my post at the the end :) Love you :)

Yes, do plan a visit to Ahmedabad. The best time is during Navratri - 9 days full of dance and colour...it's a time when the city comes alive!
