Ahmedabad is changing every moment! It is not like Mumbai, but it's surely catching up.
It's a big city! Becoming Bigger!
Faster! Things are moving quickly.
Infrastructure of high quality, better healthcare facilities, political stability, budding entrepreneurs, good quality educational structures and growing businesses are changing lives every day.
Look around and you will find that this is a city where you can see wealth everywhere. Money is being made like anything. People have become more and more ambitious. As soon as people marry, couples want to have their own home and own car. Child can wait, but car is must. The thought process has taken a complete turn around. Who is going to wait for retirement to buy home? Most people are ready to pay home loan installment and live life working to get free. We have become slave of our wishes.
With the population graph crossing 60 lakh mark, city is spreading in all direction. Towers are coming up everywhere to accommodate the burgeoning crowd. Though 2 bedroom new house in Satellite area may cost more than 1 crore, there are buyers. Rent of shops and homes are just going upside, but who cares. Just watch the road for 5 minutes during any busy hour and this city will start telling about itself. You will see Audis & Mercedes zooming around. School going students riding bikes. Everyone will be seen in a hurry. Roads are overflowing with vehicles, struggling to contain ever-growing traffic.
No one has time - that's what we all say. You will find people who hardly know their neighbors. Restaurants are full of customers on weekends. Malls are becoming place to pass time. Some have closed down as their were more window shoppers than actual shoppers visiting that place. Yes! Multiplexes are doing good business, in spite of hardly 10 hit movies in a year. The reason being that there are few alternatives for entertainment. Sports for children are luxury. Where can you find fields or playgrounds? Builders are minting money and leaving no place empty. Computer games have become the left-over option.
Lifestyle has changed, living standard has improved, but relationships have taken the beating. Now, there is less trust, more jealousy, less interaction and more gossip. With the single child policy being voluntarily followed, there is death of brotherhood and sisterhood. One silver lining on this ominous cloudy sky is that there are more females joining job now. So, gender bias is loosing it's strong grip.
As it is always said, everywhere in the world, you can talk to a person and identify their place of upbringing. So, future of next generation will be an alter ego of this city. The way we will treat this city will impact our children.
Lets respect this city and we will do a very good job for our kids.
Thanks for reading!
