Memorable Trip to Baroda!!!

     This time i took two weeks off to njoy life to fullest at baroda during diwali. Uptil the D'day i wasn't even sure whether my leaves would be approved and finally just before 2 hrs as my luck would have favoured my leaves were confirmed and i was on my way to baroda via b'bay .. and abt my b'bay stay there's another post tht will follow. :)

     From the very day i reached baroda it was like a festive occasion for me And on top of it my Big B was already there to receive me :P:P (I met him after 6 long months :(((( )

     I reached baroda 1 day prior to diwali and had ample amt of time to get crackers and sweets and for doing all small small preps :))) I don't believe i helped my mamma in preparing some delicacies also and the best of my preps turned out to be 'gujiya' also called 'gughra'. Truly when i used to be in baroda (uptil engg. final sem) i never ever realized the importance of diwali... it was as if another holiday or gala time thts it. It was for the first time whn i came down to b'bay and now all the more far away to b'lore that i realize the actual value of this festival :) Its not the crackers or the sweets thats fun.. its a reunion with so many ppl also especially oldies.. and this time it was a grand reunion for me and I guess for all the ppl who were there :)))

     The very nxt day of diwali for gujjus is knwn as 'bestu varas' (NEW Year)... thts the time whn all the ppl visit their frnds and relatives:)) On tht particular day i made a visit to all my gujju frnds in baroda and the nxt day it was like frnds attacking my home :D:D But it was fun :))

     Then the following week and weekend we had many more get togethers and all the more this was the first time ever after i left baroda i had the gr8 luck of meeting my school frnds.. it was the most cherishable moment in my life a gr8 reunion and all chit chats abt the mischievious school life and college life we had :))

     Truly school life and college life are the ones that can never ever go out of ny person's heart or mind .... but in my case its somewhat extended i guess :D:D:D even in my professional life i am mischievious :D:D (Donno whn my boss will come across this and punish me for all the mischieves i have done and not been punished for :D:D)

     I don't have words to conclude these sweet reunions that i witnessed during the few days i was in baroda... But one thng for sure is that these reunions have given me all the strength and hope to live a fun filled life for another 7 generations :)) It was fun and it was an unforgettable trip too :))) met so many new and old frnds all in 2 weeks time..........
