Jeeru wali Soda- theres soda to be added in whisky. But ever herd soda flavoured with jeera? Its a rage in Jamnagar. Not to mention soda with lemon nad salt.
reliance petroeum- worlds largest refinery. Dhiru Bhai is a household hero here. Half of janmagar lives off what he created.
Essar Oil- another refinery. and the tiff between Ambaniis and the ruias is everlasting rumour. Or may be a reality.
Dig- Digvijay Cement, Dig-Jam, Digvijay Gram, all named after, and started by Late Maharaha Digvijay Sinh Jadeja, Uncle of Ajay Jadeja. Fondly remembered as jam saheb.
Ranjit sinh, Duleep sinh- royals.
Evening dailies- nowhere in India, u'd find probably as many eveaning dailies in Jamnagar, I suspect it has to do with bopaharias and ardhu cha at 2 am..
more later...

RYN: Would it be really that sad?
wht was this...:O
yeah.. Am sort of fan of Ayn Rand.. liked most of her philisophy..
Yeah, I always thought that Jamnagar was synonymous to Reliance Petrochemicals.Dhirubhai Ambani is just not a hero in Jamnagar but in whole of India and I personally admired him so.But his Nalayak sons would ravage his empire,I believe. The way they wash their dirty linens in public is so cheap and silly.
I didn't know about Jadeja though.Thanks for the info.
If I'm not wron it's a coastal city.Is the city situated near the Arabian Sea??So many refineries there in Jamnagar,then should I presume that they have a natural harbour for shipping oils?
You've described Jamnagar very passionately.I'm sure You love that place.After reading your blog,I feel like going there but I ought to know how they make their tea.(See my comments in Chai...Part I)
anil, and mukesh, actually made it pretty sad.. but with kokila ben firmly placed on the top, things are pretty much in control now.
Also these guys are poorly cultured, but have great business acumen.. Dhirubhai left Reliance worth 1.20 Lac Crores, now both guys put togather are twice that much. Buggers know how to make money.
I am yet again impressed, June, i love ur intelligence. Jamnagar has two ports, and many private Jettys. Along with that, now pipelines are coming up. Ports are now more or less deserted though, competetion from Mundra Port, and adani port killed them.
And the Tea, and pan, are like nowhere else.. Rich, and all over the place..!
Soda withot whisky?
Is it not pale?
Hey, a very endearing cross-sectional view of Jamnagar :)
In the hubbub of the metros I am glad small Indian towns retain their serenity and slow pace.
