INDORE, THE CLEANEST CITY OF INDIA
Also the largest education hub of Central India housing both the IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) and the IIM (Indian Institute of Management) - a dream of my son to go there.
As part of our trip to Ujjain, we took a direct flight from my place to reach Indore, the financial capital of Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal being the actual Capital), that has been declared as the cleanest city in India 8 years in a row.
Mom loves to travel to religious places and even though I have to plan everything, taking all the responsibilities, seeing the smile on her face, lets me feel fulfilled, encouraging to plan a trip at least in a year, so that it de-congests her a little.
The security check is a big burden and I always let her go without anything and take care of putting everything through the scanner.
We left home at 4 am and thanks to my loving wife to give the breakfast in parcel which we enjoyed during our one and half our flight. The snacks / meal provided in flight is not only costly, but nowhere matches our desi taste and Mom can't even eat anything spicy, so she was very happy with the taste of home.
As we enter the arrival area of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Indore, we could see an artistic ovation of Devi Ahalya Bai a beloved figure of our history from 18th-century, renowned for social welfare, humanitarian work and good governance, contributing to the prosperity of Malwa region, which includes Indore.
Then there are five statues of folk artists playing various traditional instruments and performing, representing the cultural heritage of the area.
As we exit out of the airport, we could see the proud achievement of the city of being the cleanest city of India for 8 years in a row.
From the airport we headed straight to Ujjain, a two hour drive and on our way, stopped at a CHAII point, selling the famous Indori Poha, a popular Indian breakfast dish.
They certainly looked delicious, but the driver cautioned us about the spicy taste (seems people of Indore love this form of Poha with lot of spice), so we gave up the idea of tasting it.
After refreshing ourselves with the Chaii, we drove straight to the religiously significant Shipra River, one of India's holiest rivers having divine origins and took holy dip to achieve moksha (liberation from the birth cycle), more to come on that......
And by the way my son wants to join the five year integrated MBA program at IIM, Indore, which is the top IIM offering that course. We will see how it goes, as it's very tough to get there, but this trip certainly provided insight on the place.

NO spicy?? :P i luv spicy food. and yea.. so clean and nice there.. :)
If u want it to be spicy then you could add a lot of chillies especially the Black ones
😋 black ones.. i never had those yet..
As soon as you will have them, you are going to regret it
Indore has more than just Poha. It has sev that's more famous and then there's one sweet, is it rabdi? I am getting the exact name in my mind right now.
Yes, Sev is famous and I also visited that market place Chappan and that shop Om Namkeen, where you can taste hundreds of varieties, will publish soon.
Great, seems like you had a great time there.
Indore sounds like such a beautiful and inspiring place, especially with its reputation for cleanliness and great schools. It must be exciting to visit with family and see the place connected to your son’s dream.
Your mum indeed seems very happy! It's good to make elders still do some trips, I remember I did that also with my grandfather
And good luck to your son!
Thank you.
Seems you and your mom have really a nice trip I love your mom's sari ❤️❤️ so elegant!!

Excellent photographs, my friend, those you share in your post. Seeing your mother's smiling face, I imagine it gives you a unique satisfaction to be able to please her in whatever way you can.
I hope your son can get into the IIM. It's difficult but not impossible, especially if he strives to achieve his dreams. From what I've read, these are places in India where spices, and chili in particular, are very prevalent.
Indore, the cleanest city in India for 8 consecutive years, boasts a rich history and cutting-edge technology in education, ensuring everything benefits your child and helps them achieve their full potential.
kabhi indore aana to nahi hua bas indori pan khaya he. magar achcha laga aapki post dekh kar
The more educational institutions there are and the better education they provide, the more people will be interested in education. It is a fact that today, if we want to progress, we have to focus only on education. We are seeing that the people of India are now seen in big posts.
It will definitely be a great joy to visit India someday
