Reliance Greens Township, Motikhavdi, Jamnagar Gujarat

Every time I sit to think about this place, I feel a knot in my stomach.

The kind that makes you remember all kinds of feelings at once—a rush of energy.

I can't put everything about this incredible place in one post, so I will split it into multiple blogs. To start with, here's a short trailer of RELIANCE GREENS Township from my YouTube channel.

It was the early 2000s when I moved to the RIL township and have since moved across two different types of houses inside. The reason behind this was the expansion of houses and sectors"; hence, there was a 'new township' created in the same Reliance Greens to make space for the growing family of employees and their families. And a lot of us were moved to the new township.

The FIRST House in Reliance Greens

This was an independent house in the busy MINI Market area, with 2 bedrooms, a large living room, kitchen, washroom, toilet, and, yes, my favorite: The Verandah with a stone-like sitting area overlooking the road and other houses in the vicinity. It was beautiful and so peaceful. Before moving to the township, I was living in Jamnagar, which, like most of our cities, was chaotic and hardly peaceful. The township was hence initially a difficult transition considering I was used to the 'chaos' but overtime; I started loving the 'calm' and cut to today—I can't stand noisy cities.

Too bad I don't have pictures from back then because a) I was just 11 years old—a shy 7th grade girl who didn't have a camera—this was before the internet wave took over. and b) I guess I already shared this in the a) part—I didn't have a phone with a camera or a camera. We did have one though but it stopped working somehow and before we could buy a new one, we had to move to the new house in the newly built 'New Township.'
