This post is being composed on a highway from Jamnagar to Okha. The roads are, as Monsieur Modi promised, excellent. I am en route to a place called Mithapur in Gujarat. Now most Indians would translate Mithapur as "sweet town", but apparently in Gujew, it means "salt town".
Not that I have any issues with a place being named "salt town". In fact, the last time I had been to one, it was called Salzburg, Austria. But this salt town I am told, does not boast of Alpine scenery, nor was the Sound of Music shot there.
However, it is a quaint little coastal hamlet boasting of several deserted beaches in its vicinity. More travelogues promised over the next 7 weeks of my life, which will be spent in the aforementioned hamlet.

What will your CSR Project be???
a) Teaching Gujjus how to be extreme right wing activists?
b) Teaching the poor and homeless in Mithapur how to take arbit photographs with a Canon S-220
c) Blogging incessantly about the state of the State till Modi physically throws you out of there?
d) All of the above
a) Redundant.
b) It's Canon S3 IS (which is already being put to good use). I don't use junta level cameras like S-220.
c) The state is in a good state, thank you very much, as Misraji constantly points out in CHSR.
d) K
Never seen it been spelt "Gujew" - thought it was good ol' fashioned "Gujju"
@ Indum: what a truly profound first comment on the blog. I was instead expecting something extolling my many virtues.
