Some cities stay with you. Ahmedabad doesn't just stay - it pulls you back, every single time.
This city has been a part of my life in the most personal way. I first came here for engineering at Nirma University, then stayed to study product design at NID. And somewhere between the lectures, the late nights, and the friendships that have lasted decades, Ahmedabad quietly became my favourite city in India. It still is.
In this vlog, I go back - not just as a traveller, but as someone who has lived here, loved here, and left a piece of himself here.

We walk through the ancient Pol area of the Old City, explore the Sabarmati Ashram where Gandhi once lived and vowed never to return, stand in awe inside the Adalaj Vav stepwell, and watch the sunset at the iconic Sidi Saiyyed Mosque. We eat our way through Gujarati thalis, late-night street food at Manek Chowk, and chai at the legendary Lucky Cafe. I revisit my old campuses at Nirma and NID, meet professors and friends who feel exactly the same, and celebrate Uttarayan with kites, fafda, and jalebi over the Old City rooftops.
This is not a travel guide. This is a love story.
