The visit to the Sabarmati Ashram was a treat of its kind... although most of Gandhi ji's belongings including his ashes have been moved to the Shri Gandhi Ashram at Delhi and to the Ashram at Porbandhar, just walking on the same grounds where the great man once walked, sitting by the ghats of Sabarmati... was an experience I cannot explain....
Inspite of all the arguements that go through your mind regarding Gandhi's philosophies, his weakness when it came to Nehru, his contribution to the partition... you just cannot ignore this man's struggle, his single minded determination, .... a common man with uncommon grit under adverse conditions... Bande me tha Dum!!!
My friend who clicked these shots at the Sabarmati Ashram Meuseum was thoroughly bored and was chewing my brain till I promised him that if he took some cool shots, we would make a documentary on Gandhi ...believe me people, it's not easy clicking snaps from framed photographs... you have to get the right angle, avoid the lens flash, check the lighting... I am publishing some of my favorite snaps from this album ... Great effort bits... hope we can work on that documentary soon :)
