| Before moving here, we had a lot of
apprehension about what the city would be
like - we were a young couple and we had
no idea about Gujarat or about Vadodara.
Slowly things settled and we started
enjoying our life here. |
|
| Though I'm nostalgic about Kolkata at times,
I would really not want to go back.
Sometimes, it's very surprising to think that
way but that's how it is - Vadodara has
somehow gotten into us. It's peaceful, safe
and comfortable. People are friendly and
warm. When there's an accident, nobody
rage about it - people get up, help each
other and move their own way. It's things
like this that catch your attention here. |
|
| From the very first day that I got here, I've
never once thought that I didn't have family
here. We had our first kid here and we've
grown as a family together. The crowd is
cosmopolitan - there's a great mix and
there're no negative vibes of regionalism. |
|
|
| We have great neighbours - they've always
come to our help. |
|
| Business runs in the veins of this state and
trade goes no fair and square. We've never
felt cheated. The opportunity to enjoy art,
music and culture is ample. There is always
something happening in the city and it's
fantastic. |
|
| I never had to worry about education here.
There are enough and great schools. My
children have enjoyed their childhood
instead of being subjected to unhealthy
competition of the rat race. There's a
gradation system and there's no
competition among the parents - they're
rather supportive and encouraging -
believe me, this is an issue for parents
because I've seen things back home which
are not very pleasant. |
|
| The best thing about Vadodara is that it
includes all kinds of people but still retains
its character. It's fantastic. |
