Bhavnagar

In December 2023, Garba in Gujarat, uh, received inscription on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

And, uh, I would say from villages and small towns in the B- desert area of Kutch in north Gujarat to the villages and towns along its long coastline, from the larger cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, or to the smaller ones like Bhavnagar and Jamnagar.

So Garba is celebrated every year, everywhere with equal joy and devotion.

And earlier, as only women would sing and perform Garba, the men...

But I think the best advice I got is from Gulzar sir.

Okay, so when I was in college in second year, I, you know, from my hometown in Gujarat, it's Bavnagar.

I especially traveled to, I mean, general compartment in a train, came to Bombay just to meet Gulzar sir, a couple of friends.

Okay, and we took an appointment with him and he was gracious enough to meet us.

Yeah.

When you hear Baptist Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama, is this the residency class you picture? Broken Laws got us to the point where we have a doctor trained at the government medical college in Bhavnagar, India, leading a residency program where 23 of 24 residents are foreign med school grads.

And so this is the guy, Gupta, Vikas Gupta.

He's the chair.
