Trip to Ahmedabad

I decided to spend this Diwali away from family and in Ahmedabad... mainly to understand how Diwali is celebrated in other parts of India and to understand the lakshmi puja concept.

Ahmedabad City is hot and shining heavily. Its relative small. My site-seeing trip took hardly 100kms. Broad roads, malls, traffic jams are common.

I relished my food in The Village, Vishalla. Vishalla's food taste and service were exceptionally good especially. I would recommend a visit to Vishalla.

I loved grandeur and the superb maintenance of Akshardam temple. Unfortunately, not allowed to take pictures. Exhibitions were there inside with some movie like light and sound effect.

What to say for the Adalaj Step - Well .... 3 storeyed well... lovely art work, pillars. Highly imaginative... same with Lal Darwaja steel jollies...

People are helpful and communicative. Only thing is, you need to ask for each and everything like even "switch on FM radio" while in taxi...

Worth visiting for any Foodies....

Happy Diwali - 2010



Happy Diwali to all my friends, followers and visitors ...

For the first time in my life, i will not be with my family for Diwali and I will be in Ahmedabad to observe, celebrate the festival. Will share the experience soon.

Sensex outlook - November 2010

Nifty was getting support bwn 5950 - 6000 levels and unable to cross 6175 levels thru Oct. Nifty might break out 6150 range and could move to 6250 - 6350 range in November due to continuing strong inflows.

Sugar stocks could be the surprise package in November. I would also recommend IFCI, Lakshvi Vilas Bank for short term gains.

Update on Nov 15: Nifty broke the 6165 and touched 6325 levels and then had a violent drop to 6050 levels. Weakness likely to presist and Nifty is likely to test 5937 - 5955 range. Need to wait and see whether it can hold. 6150 - 6185 will be the stiff resistance for November.
