I come from a city called Ahmedabad, which is situated in Gujarat, India. Recently, Ahmedabad has also been considered and classified as one of the world's heritage cities. I particularly love that part about my city because it keeps reminding me of my grandmother's village heritage. In the heritage city, the particular part that is especially attractive to me is the poles, because they resemble the living conditions of different parts of the villages in India, especially in Gujarat. I love visiting that place with my parents because it helps me recall the fresh memories I built while visiting my grandmother's house and village during my summer breaks. Recently, my grandmother moved to a city called Surat, so we haven't been to the village quite a lot. While I visit the heritage city and participate in the heritage walks organized by the government, it helps me learn about the cultural aspects of the ancient city and helps me to be more calm. I go there with my parents because they help me understand different rituals and practices that the people living there are currently practicing. This connection helps me relate to my city and my ancient rituals. It not only helps me understand these practices but also allows me to be more calm and understand why we follow a particular kind of ritual. The city has not just helped me, but my parents as well, to find peace around the town when living in a big city.
