Gul – Gulshan – Gul:FARM

# Destination Weddings : Best Place in Gujarat
# Go Golf : Annual series of Golfing initiatives spread across age groups..


The above headline in Urdu is suggestive of a farm loaded with blossoms and flowers.. so is the place where I spent my weekend. A must go for any traveller or an Amdavadi..



“Gulmohar Greens” is the place I reached on Saturday, 26th May 2018... here the name Gulmohar is taken for a tree which is in full bloom during peak summer season, loaded with hues of red, orange & yellow flowers. So is this place.. always green, colourful and fully live with activities from all across genres. A perfect mix which is difficult to achieve.. hence a must try for a resort style living and a home away from home!


Peak Summer, when the temperatures have soared to their highest of degrees, 47 degree Celsius,   to be precise, this is one place which gives you respite. Spread on sprawling 75 acres land, primarily known for a Golf course, has loads of goodies to offer.


Gulmohar Greens- Golf & Country Club, primarily commenced their operations a decade back in 2006 with Golf and Club membership as their key attraction.  Golf – the sport and proximity to the city has been a major USP, clubbed with all amenities which a four star resort has to offer. “This project started just with a dream, my passion towards the finest sport in world was on a high decibel. Hence, with tremendous dedication and remarkable support from Shri Trilokibhai Parikh, we were able to give shape to a 9 hole par 36 Golf Course. Today, we not only have a calendar of events for Golf but Gulmohar Greens is considered as one of the finest Golf Course of Gujarat and is also affiliated with Indian Golf Union. Go-Golf is the annual event calendar for the sport. We run certified courses for avid golfers and enthusiasts, giving them a platform to develop their skill on sport. We also organise bi-monthly tournaments which are being strongly supported by leading corporate and private firms. We have proved to be a boon for the new generation, youngsters especially who are growing with the sport and developing as a vocation. We also have females who are quite regular.”, mentioned, Shri Alpesh Parikh, Managing Director – Gulmohar Greens.

Spa Buddha

“Apart from Golf, our property has been ranked as the best ‘Destination in Gujarat’ for weddings, hence with growing popularity and love we have got in past, we are adding 27 more rooms to the existing 32 rooms, 3 of which are suite rooms and 2 Presidential Suite spread across 2800 square feet, largest so far in the city. Besides, we have all other world class amenities, a sports complex, restaurants, lawns for private functions, amphitheater, library, infinity pool, gymnasium, spa, kids play and party area etc.” added Mr. Parikh.


What I observed while moving with their team was; every member is strongly connected with every tree and plant in the property. Each one of them don’t forget to mention about how they have been witnesses to the shrubs also.. growing every inch in front of their eyes.... and needless to say, maintaining  the green pastures of the Golf course in a city like Ahmedabad where we receive eight months of strong sun clubbed with high temperatures is a commendable task.

The cherry on the icing is that the property is located at Sanand, just 15 kilometers from IIM Ahmedabad and 23 kms from the Airport.. proximity, another factor which has contributed to their popularity. And I strongly believe, after Ahmedabad getting the tag of “Heritage City”, tourists need good resorts to have a complete experience of a vacation, for which Gulmohar Greens has the potential!!

Flowers, Banyan Tree and the beautiful lawns hosting Sufi Night!!
Apart from Golf, the management keeps organizing events revolving around family requirements, be it for women or children. Weekends specially have entertaining and fun filled events... to beat the heat there is a pool woven in three formats and a 100 year old Banyan tree welcomes you portraying its strength through its prop roots.. demonstrating the strength, dedication and devotion and determination of the entire place...

A place to be added in your wish list!!

Dubai - The Greener Pastures

Its not just Oil and Gold, a New world economy, booming and buzzing, attracting all global markets to buy home, setup business and live in a place which is now the new Centre of attraction, to setup Global Headquarters. The Millenial tower - Burj Al Arab  Indians have forgotten Canada and US (seems so..) especially after the setting up new Trump norms... so where do all heads turn and why? 1. Distance : Travel time from Delhi to Dubai is 3.5 hours and if we talk about Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Maharashtra they are geographically more towards the west, therefore the travel time to The Emirates is even lesser than any other Indian town on the extreme corner. Therefore, Dubai travel is cost effective and easily accessible. 2. Visa : Relaxed norms with consultants from both countries growing in numbers to assist Indians settle in Dubai, both for entrepreneurs and job seekers. 3. Population : Potential of any economy to thrive lies in its people, Population thus holds biggest Poten...

"Wife or a Whore?" Or Dust under her feet!

Lets change the narrative.. the perspective and positioning !! Well, this is one statement which after a certain age applies to women.. pls note the word "AGE"!! This was mentioned in a book reading session by Sharbari Zohra Ahmed, in her Debut Novel,   "Dust under her feet!" The  Quantico  scriptwriter moves from an International thriller, expressing a high voltage drama series for Hollywood and now back into the 1940s, where her story revolves around Yasmine Khan, the protagonist. Sharbari expresses that it was probably Yasmine Khan, the focal point chose her, cause while writing the fiction,  she could clearly go back into times and see the visuals of the yesteryears when World War II had set in.. There is a lot which Sharbari has contributed into this novel, above her body mind and soul.. fifteen years have gone into crafting the epic! What beyond? The Author has actually gone to the libraries of Kolkata, dug out their archival section, newspapers, magazines, hu...
