Today's Gandhidham!!!


 Well...just came back from market for buying vegetables & feel like I have travelled a long journey!!!! The traffic here has become crazy and so has the environment!! It’s so foggy with pollution you cannot see front of you; you can't go even for a short walk!! The young drivers drive their vehicles so irresponsibly you fear they will hit you!! The unbelievably over loaded 'Chakdas'.....I wonder from where this word came from?? The most undisciplined 'Rikshas'!! The Garbage everywhere!! And last never goanna solving parking problem!! Ha ha it is a big challenge if you plan to go to a market!
      Once upon a time this town was a retreat, a quiet, clean and beautiful. How the time flies!! I still remember back in those days we use to walk to each other's places. I still remember how at one time this town had calm & sedate nights!!We would drive through in the night listening to old songs up to 'Nakty' a place near Kandla port, a pool over creek. We would sit there, spend some time under open sky.....looking at the dim lights of Port!! Only one or two vehicles will pass, slow down looking at us wondering what these crazy young bunch of people are doing, and drive further down!! Now can you do that? Of course not! Now it’s a crowded city, bustling with zillions vehicles...and unbearable pollution!! Where today's young people are going for hangout...I would like to know.

      But still I would like to live here & be part of this town...
 
 I had my best years in G, dham. I made my best friends here. I have made a lot of memories here. I have made a lot of investment of my love, friendship, energy, loyalty, value of relations, and lot more in this town....and it is a very rewarding. Well spent Billa...Well spent. I feel very well balanced here, socially & emotionally.
     Life is a one of those races in pre-school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon, kept in your mouth. If the marble falls there is no point of winning. Balance is a very crucial here in this game, and I feel same with the  life. Winning over life is very essential. Balance in life is very essential. Balance means ensuring your healthy relationships, peace, and mental stability. Comfort zone around you are all in good order. And I find all everything in my life in order here!!
  Life's been very kind so is Malik's Mehar....
    love always & ever billa driftwood.
