We enjoyed the Kathiyawadi cuisine too much. It is spicy and I loved it. The best part was mirchi is stuffed with mirchi & it is spicy hot!

The people of Gujarat were helpful and guiding us whenever we needed help to find some places.

I was unaware that I was visting our PM Narendra Modi's village in Gujarat. His village, Vadnagar is exceptionally clean, beautiful and serene. The Amba Mata Aarti that was being sung in the village temple still rings in my ears, when the Moon on Dev Diwali's Tripurari Pournima was rising.

When we asked for directions to the ST bus depot, the person gave us a lift in his car to the bus stand!

I also met my college friend after 15 years here, when she decided to join our trip impromtu for some part of the journey! It was nice.

(The approximate expense of this trip from Mumbai to Gujarat & back in 3AC train with hotel stay was Rs. 5000/-).
