Hello Friends! Welcome to my new Diary post. How is everyone doing? Hope everyone is doing well 😊.
The atmosphere in Gujarat right now is Garba vibes all the way. Every day we get to see a huge chunk of people on the streets with so many traffic jams 🤣. People are so excited that even after a tiring day at work, at 11:00 pm in the night they’re all exited to step out of their homes and enjoy a Garba night. So just like my 2/3 previous days, I had plans this time to go to Shantigram (a place where I have been before during these past few days). My friend had got me a complimentary pass with literally my name written on it. She got it for me with high hopes and told me I had to be there anyhow. With this place being 20km away from my place, I had very little hopes of going there (also I was lowkey lazy 🤣). On top of that I even got 2 more passes arranged for my friends.

At My Friend’s place
Our office timings are as such that it ends in the late evening, which gives us very little time to go home, have dinner, get dressed and then leave for the Garba venue. So the plan was set, I would reach home get ready and go to my friends place, and from there we would leave together. As I reached home I soon realised, I had forgotten my house keys at home only and my brother had locked the door and left. It was already late, and then I had to go to my brother’s office, collect the keys from him and come back home to dress up. It was such a mess I tell you.

At the venue
I anyhow still got to their place but to my misfortune it was 10:40 pm by the time I got there. And I found them lying down on their beds with their night clothes on 😆. At that point of time I don’t even know what I was doing, I was in a dilemma and was a little bit annoyed too. My friends saw my agony and they quickly tried to arrange some passes for a near by venue. They were actually successful at their attempt but unfortunately we could get only 2 passes which meant 1 of us had to stay back. So then both of my friends started arguing, one was saying that the other should go and vice versa. We finally came to a conclusion that who would go with me. After a while we eventually reached the venue.

Enjoying Garba night
When I reached the venue, I was amazed. The friend who was accompanying me had already been there once, but for me it was my first time. He had mentioned to me earlier that it was a centralised Air conditioned venue but I didn’t believe him. I truly couldn’t believe what an amazing atmosphere I was witnessing. Like it’s very rare to find air conditioned Garba venues and this was one of them 😁. As we entered there we found the vibe to be almost like a concert. We could see lots of flashing light, decoration and some people with amazing traditional Garba outfits. I totally forgot about the venue I had actually planned to visit that night 😄. I thanked my friend for bringing me there.
Amazing Garba vibes
As you all might have read in my previous posts, I enjoy dancing Garba. So here too my friend stood by and I joined a group just near by and started dancing with them. I had an amazing experience. We even spotted a YouTuber amongst us who was enjoying the Garba too. As the night went by, we danced clicked some pictures and enjoyed the singing of a very famous Gujarati singer. As he sang, he also had some excited announcements. He announced that the next day the singer who would be joining him on stage was none another than Sonu Nigam ji a very renowned singer of Indian Origin. And the day after that, another popular Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan was gonna come to the event as well. The crowd was mesmerised just by hearing these announcements and there was a different level of enthusiasm after that.

flaunting my Chaniya Choli ☺️
We all danced, enjoyed and after a while decided to step out and check out what we could eat/drink. We found a stall selling Sev puri and had some of that. We then decided to head home after we were done eating, calling the night off.
