Possible Encounters When U Visit My City

                          As promised I m back before end of January.  As everybody I love my city Surat. And this time I m giving u a few things u get to see when u visit my Surat. Before starting what about introduction of my city. Its actually quite famous in India. Its a diamond n textile hub. Its said that from every 5 diamonds 3 diamonds r polished in Surat. And similar for textile markets too. And food is the other thing its famous for. U would be thinking how by food? As Paris is famous for its Pizzas, Surat is famous for its surti food. Surat dont have much special delicacies on its name but its famous for its food, its flavor. It doesn't have any much famous or special restaurants but here the food is tasty n that's what its famous for. It has its own flavor. 

                           Well don't mind I get little sensitive when it comes about Surat n start explaining over everything. Lets get back now I would tell the possible encounters u face when u visit my city. I m going to go blabbering about my Surat. 

• I would start with much obvious. Nothing for guesses, I m going to start with food. 'Locho' that's what its called.(I know it sounds weird :P) Its mainly made up of besan. Its served with coriander-mint chutney and onions. Its best when hot served. The owner of an Audi would even go to the road stall to get this in the morning. You may get this in other cities but the taste is not something u get easily. If u get the same taste u may believe that the chef is from Surat. :)

                                   

• Wherever u go in the city, whichever corner u would find a bridge at the very least a proposed bridge for sure in your 5 radius circle around u. Surat already consists of 15 constructed bridges n 29 r proposed. Its all set to b called the city of bridges. 

                                           

                                      

• Here Diwali is very popular. Its celebrated with great pomp. Our municipal corporation decorates all the public offices and places.Now u would be saying that's common. Lets me finish guys. We even decorate the bridges n traffic islands. Now which city has decorated bridges say?
• Another thing we have is what only we can have because its just one piece. Sachin's Ferrari. Yes the same Ferrari which was gifted to him. He has sold that to the Surat based businessman.

                                 

• Traffic. Now don't assume that I would say we have the most traffic. Ye Surat he Mumbai ya Delhi nahi. I have something to say about traffic. Here when a car is going to turn left he mostly would be driving in the first lane n vice versa. 

                                        

• When a rickshaw driver wants to signal about turning left or right he would not turn the indicator on or show the hand but would take his leg out.( I know that's seems stupid but its true). These are just two examples n there r many more but its enough for this post.
• It may be the only city with 4 million population not having an international airport. International airport is out of question it even doesn't have a well functioning domestic airport. A city of diamond hub doesn't even have a airport. For this people even started a march n agitation for getting flights for airport.

                                      

                             These are some of the things u can find only in Surat. Not all r positive aspects but as everybody I have a soft corner for my city. After happening so much in Mumbai doesn't leave loving it why would be doing that rite? It has become a part of my life, an important one(I know it sounds emotional). I really don't know what would i do if i have to leave it. I don't think i would agree to leave it.


(P.S That's it for today. Would be back soon. Till then Bye n take care. )

 

A Letter ..

                   I don't quite believe in ' the end of the world in 2012' theory. But still a letter written for u can say just sack of writing. This letter is to GOD/2012/ or whatever u name it. Just fill in the blank ( for yourself) with whatever u think is appropriate.


Dear _________,

                            Hello, How r u? Now I m asking a stupid question. I already know u r pissed off or got into depression  for something..So u r thinking stupid. Thinking to end the world. You already know how many people live on u. Right? U r thinking to end their lives too. I know the reason u r trying to take revenge because we r polluting u rite? I know that's the reason. Tell me one person on u who doesn't have problems in there lives. And most of u r facing it except some cowards. I know u have a solution for this. Tell me I wud help you to spread it across n implement it. ( Just a favor tell it to me secretly). 
                            Well if you don't want to go on yourself please go on for others. For me. I have few reasons on my mind already at this time.

• I still have to finish my engineering studies. I have two reasons for it. I always wanted to live life with luxury on my money. For that I have to study first and earn good. But if u r going to so adamant on ur wish , my dreams r going to get shattered. The second reason is next point.

                           

• I have to take my Mom on a world tour. For that again I have to finish my studies first. Its only possible now in this few months if u do something n make me a millionaire now. Please at least think of my mother who makes me visit beautiful places just in hope I made do with her the same when I earn. 

                                 

• I still have to get a Bf. Now I know that's corny n a stupid reason but that's the third reason. I don't want to die single. I'm in no hurry for getting one at this age but I even don't want to die single so please accept this as a reason.

• I have to get married. I know ur reaction but its not necessary that I'm going to my bf. And it takes time to find a suitable groom. My parents n relatives have so many wishes for my marriage. Wud u not want their dreams get fulfilled. N most important aspect to consider in this. I'm still not eligible for getting married . So that's the big reason U have to wait.
• I have to learn cooking. My mother has many hopes for me that I wud b a good cook. And u know I don't have it on my list of learning at least not for this year. U know that.

                                            

• I have to get a farmhouse built for me and Aastha. So that we can spent our holidays n vacations together. U know our deal n not if  , we made a deal to spend our free time together as much as possible. We have promised to never forget n lose each other.

                            

• N the last one I m remembering now is I m not satisfied with number of friends I have. I want more friends n for that it takes few years rite. So u please wait for few years . I  dont mean few years that can b counted on fingers alright!! 

                            This r the few reasons n if this r not enough I can find more. I promise if u let me live I wud become an engineer by the time and discover new ways to for ecofriendly . As such u r going tell me a few rite? :D  I can merely request u. Please go on , lets live more. Please.

                                                                                                              YOURS SINCERELY 

                                                                                                            Roohani.
