Rann Of Kutch 2009

It was a great feeling to return to Kutch after 12 years. This time for Rann Utsav 2009 where the colourful people and a faded jeans clad floater footed Chief Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi put up an impressive show on the salt laden White Rann. Neither was there noticable earthquake ravage in Bhuj, Anjar and Bachau except for a few cracks on some bulidings. Brand new townships replete with surplus housing, well tarred roads and excellent mobile communiaction. Whether it was Narendra Modi or sheer Gujarati enterpreneurship the fact remains that the state is way ahead of all the others when it comes to development. Airtel never works properly in South Delhi sometimes. My Airtel mobile and my Reliance data card are mostly struggling in Delhi but in remote Dhordo Village close to Sir Creek in Pakistan it was going great guns. Connectivity by Flamingoes i guess!!!!

Thanks to all the efforts put up by the cash rich Gujarat Tourism and their private partners.

To top it all friend and enthusiastic photographer Gurinder ( our colourful vintage bike loving dilli da surd) and myself had Pavithran our local liaison officer ( hails from Kannur-my hometown) as our knowledgeable guide and it was blast. Kem cho? Zimbly Maje mein!!!
