O’ Yeah
I had read much on Bharuch in old history books. In ancient Greek and Roman texts it is mostly called Barygaza, the greatest port of India, which attracted scores of foreigners. Not only Greeks and Romans, but Egyptians, Africans, Arabs, and Malay and Chinese merchants came here—making it one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities 2,000 years ago. Yet today, it has largely fallen off the tourist map.
While checking in to a small hotel the staff tells me that they have two restaurants. One specializes in Gujarati thalis and the other in Punjabi style paneer meals. I’m also discreetly informed that they can serve tandoori chicken and alcohol in my room should I require it. The whispered offer makes me thrilled about finally being in Bharuch.
