Hello! I have been thinking about many things. Among those multitude of thoughts, I stumbled upon one interesting aspect. Our MD is a follower of Nityananda(a saint from Bangalore), so you get to see his wise quotations all around. They are good mind you and one of them was “When you take up responsibility, divine energy flows in you.....” (I remember only so much). It was truer on observation. Generally people(me included) tend to take time or/and suggestions before they do any personal task. But when entrusted upon by any external subject (friend/superior/parent etc), we tend to be more confident and clear in our approach and decision-making. Is it because we feel no pressure because it is not really ours? Or is it because we took responsibility. I felt the latter was more appropriate in general. I might merely be stating the obvious but its what I felt.
Hmm...that was one random thought I got today. Anyways, so this is my first time in Gujarat and am working in Baroda. Few facts about Gujarat and Baroda in general,
1.Liquor probation, the only state in the country where liquor is prohibited (has got nothing to do with me, just FYI!)
2.Though there's recession, Gujarat's industry is still pushing up, one of the few places where that's happening
3.There is a lot of culture and tradition here(one of the side effects of the probation :P) and so as why you find lesser % of the so-called mass
4.And effectively, it removes the concept of 'night-life' so rampant in other cities
5.Baroda (or Vadodara) is a small city and the roads(the road-sides rather) can get really grumpy if it rains
6.Here, you'll find a two-wheeler even for school kids (cycle-goers are a rarity). And you'll have to get used to girls/women overtaking you on Activas(or possibly bikes) on the road. And coincidentally, most of them will have a scarf around their head (you can see only their eyes), so you won't know who it was
7.Gujarati movies are comparatively non-existent and seemingly not encouraged, its Bollywood all the way. There is no dearth of shopping complexes and multiplex movies in Vadodara though. Its growing fast.
8.Many dishes are sweetened here. But Gujarati food is tasty in general.
9.Seems Baroda was a Princely State, so you'll find some heritage around.
10.The location where I work is called GIDC(Gujarat Industrial Development Corp.). Huge area with lots of industries.
Nothing much to do here.....will be back shortly.....tata
