Day_40 MY CITY - 1

 Hello Everyone and Welcome to my city. 

I wish you all have great spirits today with a healthier soul to live life to fullest and know some by passing piece of information.

Since few days I wanted to come up with a series of my city. So today I am starting this series with part-1. 

I stay in Vadodara with my parents. I was brought up in Vadodara. My childhood, teenage and now adulthood will also go in Vadodara, unless I change my city for work. There are so many places which are famous just by there street foods for example Mahakali Sev Usad, Maska bun, and also few places are famous just to sit idle like Akota bridge. We as a barodians love to sit on akota with family and friends sitting on road side, the night air, crisp and cold, snakes through our clothes, sending shivers  across the landscape.

One such place is Sursagar Lake . I personally believe it is the heart of Vadodara. Many people Come here to see statue of Lord Shiva in middle of the pond. 

Allow me to share some amazing facts about this lake.

We all consider Sursagar lake to be in the center of the city but earlier this lake was outside the boundaries of Vadodara. In 11th Century, Emperor of Chandanvati Kingdom built this Chandan Talav and is now located in the center of the Vadodara city. 

Later in 17th Century Shri Sureshwar  Desai Bought all the near by land and make this huge pond which was recognized after his name Sursagar. After that King Malhar Roa Gaikwad made proper fencing around the lake and after many beautification this lake was made to its fullest.



The statue was touted to be the tallest Shiva form in the country when it was dedicated to the city in 2002. Work on the statue had begun in 1996 and it took six years to complete the statue that was subsequently called the Sarveshwar Mahadev. It stands on 23 pilings that are 78- feet deep.

That's all for today I hope you liked my blog share it with your friends TY❤️

Day_ 49

Hello everyone, and welcome to my 49th blog post! I wish all of you a healthy and happy life. Let's kick off today's blog by talking about my day. I started my morning with some prayers, visited the temple, and offered milk to Lord Shiva. After completing my daily routine, I hit the gym. I spent around 2.3 hours working on my back and biceps. Once done, I headed home and had my post-workout meal. In the afternoon, I went out for some work with a friend. It took quite a while, and we'll continue with it tomorrow and the day after. I won't disclose the nature of the work, but I'm hopeful it will come to fruition soon. Later in the evening, I accompanied my mom to the vegetable market to help carry the bags. That's enough for today; let's wrap up this blog here. If you've read my blog, don't forget to share it with your friends ❤️

Reflecting on Change as the Year Ends

Writing something new has always been an exciting task for me, but doing it on the last night of the year makes it even more special. Another year has passed—survived bravely, and many more lie ahead. It’s amazing to realize that those born in 2000 and 2001 are now adults, some even getting married! Wow, we’ve grown up, haven’t we? Since 2019, it feels like time has been speeding up, with one year blending into the next before we can fully process it. What’s even more surprising is how the next generation, younger than the 2000s, seems to be moving even faster. These rascals are tying the knot before some of us! But when we compare ourselves to older generations, it’s clear they’ve witnessed far more changes than we ever have. Let me explain. Back in their time, there wasn’t widespread access to proper TVs, mobile phones, or computers. They had more time but fewer resources, so they had to utilize their time and strength wisely to save money. Today, we live in an entirely different era...

Day_43 From Broken to Blooming: Journey with Depression

Hello everyone, and welcome to my 43rd blog post. Today, let's discuss a crucial aspect of our lives that often goes undiscussed due to the weight it carries. However, let's not make it a big deal. This aspect plays a vital role in all our lives - mental health. Deep down, we all experience mental challenges, but we hesitate to share or find the right people to talk to. It's often the challenges and failures in life that lead us to mental issues and, in some cases, even depression. Have you ever wondered why many people experience depression? There are common reasons, such as unmet expectations and the disappointment that follows. I agree that unfulfilled expectations can indeed contribute to mental health issues. During my own struggle with this phase, I felt like a burden on others and questioned what I should do next. I needed the courage to make decisions. One valuable lesson I learned is that you are always with yourself. Consider this: are your parents with you everyw...
