The State : Gujarat

Hi guys,

I have now reached the first phase of my journey wherein I have reached Gujarat. It can be easily said to be the cultural capital of India. With its varied colors and hues, Gujarat is as vibrant as it can get. Interestingly there is a vibrant festival going on, right now. In a few days they tell me that the skies are going to be lit up with kites. And by KITES I do not mean the bird kite, but the actual paper and string driven kites.

The Government of Gujarat actually has invited kite flyers from all over the world to participate in this festival and hope to get a superb crowd for the following week. The cities have been lit up for this festival and from what I see I think the people too are in a pretty festive mood. Hope all goes well during this week, as I tag along from city to city in completing my actual goal of finding those herbs that India is so famous for.
