| Before joining college at Vadodara, I
spent 18 years in Ahmedabad. After
graduating from MSU, I started my career
at FAG India as a trainee engineer and
have been working here for 20 years
now. I'm here with my family - my
parents, sisters, brothers and my wife
and son. My father himself worked as an
engineer at MSU and is an author of
several books. |

| The core thing about Vadodara is that it's
green, peaceful and a great place for the
family. It has changed a lot in the last few
years. There are lots of malls and
multiplexes now. There are lots of sports
facilities as well - my son plays tennis
everyday which has helped him
tremendously and at multiple levels - he
plays at state-level now. There are many
surrounding places where you spend
time with family - Pavagadh, Ajwanimeta.
Kamati baug is the perfect place
to relax and unwind. My son loves the zoo. Sursagar gives you peace of mind. EME |

| temple is also a great place.
We love non-veg food especially during
winter - and there are lots of places here
where you get amazing non-veg food.
We've started eating South Indian food as
well. There's a lot of variety here and it is
this variety that helps one develop their
taste buds. On the religion front - there
are 3 Gurudwaras here. In fact, there are
lots of spiritual and religious places for
all faiths here. |
|
| We've grown very fond of the place and
have integrated pretty well into its
culture - my colleague tells me that I'm
a Punjabi-Gujarati now. People get
shocked that despite being a Sikh, I can
fluently talk in Gujarati. If I was to leave
the city, I would really miss the people -
their nature, attitude and positivity -
they're not cunning or sly but helpful and
supportive. So, it's a very safe and
secure place. |
