This has to feature as the startle of the day.
Checking on a text reference, I was led to a beautiful, ancient description of a city I know reasonably well.

Thanks, Amit.
Ahmedabad in all its grandeur. Will check out the wikipedia link.
I also happened to speak to the 14th descendent of Manekji bawa, one of the original settlers of the city.
Serendipity?
i love my austere history lessons...
What I know of as a hot, dusty, pushy city is written of as a city of gardens, learning and bustling commerce...
