I am an avid football follower and recently, one of the best success stories was written in football's history when Leicester City won the English Premier League title, one of the most prestigious in the football world. This is huge because Leicester City was on the verge of relegation last season and this season, their chances were low and not even the shrewdest football analysts were fancying their chance of winning the league in the presence of football giants like Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, which are financially stable and have the best football players among their ranks. Leicester City started their season low-key, with not a very star-studded squad, gradually making their way to the top. They kept performing well and took one match at a time, and now they are the victors. They had a low-profile squad but now two of their players are the talk of the town and one is the leading goal-scorer of the season. Both of them are now eyeing great careers. |
What is there for us Indians in this fairy tale-like story? It is belief. In a time where success is perceived to be achieved by the rich only, a relatively poor person can make his way to the top too. It's not mandatory to have a lot of wealth to be successful but sometimes, scarce finances along with high morale and faith can do wonders. You just have to believe and deliver the required hard work and then just wait for the results. You can fight all adversities if you stay staunch. This choice is there for our sports teams to make as well so that they, too, may be victorious and make us proud. |

From Zen, the opulent industrialist's home in the newer satellite area of Ahmedabad, to the love story of Sparky and Pixy, a three-legged stray dog and his mate, in a not-so-new part of Ahmedabad, Esther David takes the reader through a 140-page nostalgic tour of the city, through its many people, places and fables, in her latest book: Ahmedabad: City with a Past. |
P: The book begins with the detailing of Zen, a lavish glass house of an industrialist where she was a guest, where food lifts took meals up to the rooms and its members rarely dined together on the glass dining table. It is contrasted to the obstinate dining table of her own home of old Ahmedabad. It was transported out of the old house with great difficulty and refused to enter the new homes of the family. "With time, it had become larger, as it absorbed the load of our memories." |
Q: The author's nostalgia about the traditional |
Ahmedabad when women sat with huge sev- making machines to fry the chickpea flour snack, or when children went about with rock salt collecting sabras (raw salt crystals) on new year, on the eastern bank of the Sabarmati river, does not reconcile with the Ahmedabad where people eat out, and ride Mercedes Benz and Porches. |
R: The new Ahmed abadi appears in the 30-something computer engineer whom she calls Malav and his curious questions about the walled city, as he repairs her laptop. "I tell him, the walls are now mere illusions, and the walled city is more like a city of ancient gates separated by buildings and shopping centres," she writes. |
S: Through this narrative, David tries connecting the old and new Ahmadabad only to find that while one has moved on, the other lives in memories. |
It finally ended up as a small coffee table which moved with her to an apartment near Zen, where she held a rather reluctant house-warming party. |
