The district of Saurashtra! A region adorned with the presence of the 2 immaculate hills of this world - Shri Shatrunjay & Girnar! It is a region which has a great importance in Gujarat from the historical aspect as it has the existence of manifold ancient Jain temples and idols, having their roots about millions of years ago! It is a region where political boundaries are stretched till such a vast distance, that if we assume the districts of Gujarat as its descendants, then Saurashtra is the eldest of brothers & the rest all are its younger siblings! The region is also supreme from the political point of view as the pre-eminent ideals of nonviolence, King Kumarpal & Shri Mahatma Gandhi are the off - springs of this pious region itself!
Above that, like the fragrance in gold, there's Vadhwaan - The town who's Fame and prosperity spreads throughout the nation from years of generating the dignitaries and reformers that fetch the drastic transformation of the society from bad to good. The 'gadhaiyaa' currency, extracted beneath
the fields of Vadhwaan, signifies its existence even before the start of the English calendar. The mysterious temple of 'Paaja vasi' and a good many lakes, amusement parks, mansions etc. appear like the stars studded in the night sky!
And here was the auspicious day of VS (Vikram Samwat) 1960, Shravan Sud 11, when the impatient Chabalben was awaiting the appearance of her child, who was accompanying her invisibly from the last few months. There was Hirachandbhai, whose hands were eager to hold his kid, whose birth solemnization was already planned by him, right on the day it shall have arrived in its mother's womb! Here was Dhiraj, the elder son of the family, who had mixed feelings whether the arriving kid would be his brother or sister, as he was sure he would feel delighted with any of the both! Also, there were the residents of Vadhwaan's Lakhupole, who were very zealous to welcome the new member in their locality, especially as they were having a good relation with the noble Hirachandbhai and the religious Chabalben!
