| I came to Vadodara back in 1979. It was a
very small city then but I was amazed by
it - it was full of energy, creativity and
love - friendly and helpful people, lots of
students from various parts of the world,
things happening all the time - concerts
and plays and sports - it was alive and
happening even then. And in this regard,
it hasn't changed one bit. |
|
| Now, it's expanding - there are lots of
things coming in and around the city -
resorts, clubs, industries, schools, malls
etc. But despite this |
|
|
| influx of infrastructure, the spirit and moral fabric
of the city hasn't changed - the people
are still wonderful - they'll welcome you
even at 10 in the night. |
|
| Everyone wants to be together and have
fun. You can celebrate all kinds of
festivals - doesn't matter where you're
from. The traffic has surely increased but
the distances are short so it all works out
beautifully. The city is still green -
Kamati Baug with its planetarium and
museum is still the very same landmark
it used to be. |
