| I'm here because my husband has a
2-year contract with ABB and have been
living here for almost 6 months now.
When my husband told me that we
were shifting here, I had no idea what
or where Vadodara was. I googled it and
the university with its beautiful building
showed up. So I thought it might be
interesting. In spite of my orientation
where I was shown the architecture, the
open green spaces, the people, I had
some basic questions regarding quality
of education, safety and language
barrier. |
|
| And as it has turned out, it's an
incredibly safe place, people are very
helpful, nice and welcoming children go
to an international school here - the
first week onwards, we felt we have
friends here - everyone wants to
connect. If I'm standing in front of a
vegetable store and I haven't got a clue
what the vegetables are, people come
and help me - people who don't even
know English. |
|
|
| I have realised that it's a great place to
live - my husband's working hard, my
children are happy - for any young family,
it's a perfect setting. |
|
| There are loads of interesting buildings
here, lots of interesting period houses -
you see heritage and that's something I
haven't seen anywhere else. There's a
stunning university here with beautiful
campuses and students from all over the
world. We love the Indian food here.
There are these herbs and vegetables
that I haven't seen anywhere. For the
international food stuff, there are quite a
few well-stocked shops around - Italian
pasta, sauces, cheese, meat - you get
everything here. |
|
| When we go back, I'm really going to miss
the people of Vadodara - their sincere
smiles, the warmth, the food, the laughs -
I would miss the culture and the cultural
misunderstandings - everyday you learn
something new about this place and its
people - it's wonderful. |
