What is attachment ? What is affection? Very difficult to put it in words. Very difficult to describe. Today's blog is a devotion to the affection to something very special. My real affection & love for the city "Ahmedabad"
It is almost 7 years now since this city has been obliging,loving, caring & teaching me. When I came to this city for the first time, I was a kid,was damn immature !
June 2006 : admission in new college. The life was very different then. A confused & being challenged me ! The first gift of this city was the confidence. It taught me , to be confident! Confident for what I do , for what I believe !
The gift no two is my buddies, my room mates! My other close buddies ! I never thought that someone can be so close to us! Someone can understand us more than us ! Someone can protect us , as if they are our parents. Someone can stand by us when we cry & can spend such precious time ! Someone can show us the right path !
Gift no 3 is the ability to love blindly ! Ability to love unconditionally ! Importance of forgetting self in a relation & see a broader picture ! Ability to cry for someone whom we love ! Actually it is difficult to cry out ! One needs to have the courage to cry !
Then the gift no 4 is the courage to trust someone & even bigger than that was the courage to face the situation of being ditched after trusting someone blindly. The biggest of all, is the re ability to trust someone after this.
It taught to understand the value of a relation & to be honest & true to the relation. importance of parents in life. It has taught me to be right with right ones & wrong with the wrong ones. It has taught me the ways to be ethical in political environment !
This has taught me to cook, clean, wash clothes & what not. Though one would find the extent of this trait to be the least at my home at Ahmedabad ! :p
It has taught me to earn my own identity.
This has taught me to learn from my own as well as others mistakes. No doubt this city has made me cry many a times, it has made me sad too many times but at the end this is the same one which has given me strength & ways to come out of it & to be happy !
I can still remember some special days spent here. Remember the days of winnings/achievements & the days of failures ! Have seen the days of extreme happiness & sadness as well. Seen the days of love & days of hatred & cheating as well. Have seen tremendously true people & also have seen tremendously shrewd people.
This city has really made me understand the meaning of life, it has taught me to enjoy the life to the fullest extent ! Really this city has miraculous air in it. The water of sabarmati is really worth appreciating !
Really , my affection to this city is impeccable ! Though after describing this much , I feel that I am still not doing justice in praising this city !!!!
For me the heaven lies at the Latitude 23 03 N & Longitude 72 40 E ! Don't google it ! It's nothing but Ahmedabad !
Love you "Ahmedabad"
