have been thinking about posting this thread for a long time now!!! i was lucky enough to spend my new years eve in gujrat with my family!!! it was a pleasure as well as spiritual trip... and frankly i fell in love with gujrat!!!! it wasnt just the friendly nature of the ppl out there it was the place too...
by the end of my trip i could even read whatever was written in Gujrati in the process i did some major mistakes too like when i read junglo and asked the driver if it was the forest he was going to show us the other day and he gave me one strange look and told me it was bunglow and then there were hip saloon and hip ladies tailor which later i came to know was deep saloon and deep ladies tailor

Gujrat has everything to show off!!! the best of Mandirs the best of beaches and even a mini kerala!!!! here are some of my memories that i captured in my camera!!!

Can't thank you enough for the pictures preet. It's been years since I saw the "vad nu jhaad" and the somnath temple (that's the one in the picture, right?). It's been so long that I don't remember. I have some great childhood memories of Somnath. We used to go there regularly since one of my uncles is a trustee there.
