Dil se GT fan hoon.
But seeing Ahmedabad embrace RCB fans with the same warmth and energy? That made me proud anyway.
Jab poora Narendra Modi Stadium cricket ke rang mein dooba tha woh nazara kabile-e-taarif tha.
GT ho ya RCB, Gujarat doesn’t do half-hearted. Every team finds a home here. That’s the Gujarat I know and love.
#RCBvsGT #NarendraModiStadium #Gujarat
2021: Homes above ₹1Cr = roughly 33% of India's residential sales.
2025: 50%.
In 4 years, premium went from a third to half the market.
The middle class didn't disappear. It got priced into the premium category.
Ahmedabad is a hopelessly boring Tier 2 city. Please don’t move here.
Living here is an absolute nightmare:
• Zero Adrenaline: Women are just casually roaming around at 2 AM eating ice cream without fearing for their lives or dodging intense police naka bandis. Where is the survival thrill?
• No Linguistic Pride: If you don't speak Gujarati, nobody even threatens to beat you up or smash your shop's signboards. They just awkwardly reply in broken Hindi. Absolutely no passion!
• No Traffic Trauma: The roads are so wide and well planned that you actually reach your destination in 20 minutes. How am I supposed to finish my audiobooks or rethink my life choices during a 3 hour bumper to bumper commute?
• Missing Action: Someone bumps into your vehicle, and they just say sorry and pay you instead of pulling out a hockey stick. No street fights, no "Tu jaanta nahi mera baap kaun hai." So dull.
• Zero Aesthetic Culture: No underground drug or Udta Punjab vibes. Just boring, safe, sober families existing everywhere.
Honestly, it’s unbearable. Please stay in your happening metro cities, enjoy spending half your life in traffic and keep breathing that sweet AQI 1000 air.
The Khoraj-Ognaj-Tragad triangle.
Ahmedabad locals know these names.
National investors don't.
Average price growth in this triangle over 5 years: 47%
Bopal in the same period: 31%.
Fame and returns aren't always positively correlated.
Heartiest congratulations to Urvil Patel on his remarkable achievement of smashing a 13-ball half-century and equalling the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history.
I am happy to see a young talent from Palanpur, Gujarat making the state proud through his outstanding performance. It is equally heartening to witness the youths of Gujarat shining brightly at national and international levels through their talent, hard work and dedication.
Wishing Urvil many more glorious milestones ahead.
