I lived in Mumbai for 30 years.
The minute I got here, I fell in love with
the city. |
|
The way people live here in beautiful
houses is the first thing that catches your
attention. In Mumbai, we used to live in
what we call Pigeonhole houses. But
here, even the buildings are beautiful
with gardens and good roads around.
And the people - which is the most
beautiful aspect of Vadodara - I've seen
many places and I've lived in many
metros - let me tell you, the people here
are altogether different - very cool,
loving, caring and helpful. |
|
I've decided to stay back here postretirement.
I've already bought a house
of my own with a beautiful garden -
today I'm so happy that I keep myself
busy with the garden - the peace of mind
I get is tremendous. My two sons are in
Pune working in IT companies - they're always |
|
|
eager to come and they always go
back relaxed and happy. |
|
Back in Mumbai, I used to be stressed out
over time and distance. Here, I can even
have breakfast. Travelling is so
comfortable - no hassles whatsoever. On
working days, I can go cycling and
jogging. I'm very fond of games so on
non-working days, I'm either swimming
or playing football, cricket etc. I've been
able to do these only after moving to
Vadodara. And there are lots of beautiful
grounds here for sports. In Mumbai,
there'll be 25 teams on one small ground
- I used to curse myself and wonder when
I'd get to play on a ground that's all to
myself. |
|
In all honesty, even if I'm offered a job
with triple my current salary, I wouldn't
go - wouldn't ever compromise on the
amazing life I have in Vadodara. |
