In Ahmedabad, the architecture is clearly different from that of the capital🏘️🏚️. The shapes, the structures, and the way spaces are designed reflect a different way of living in a community🤲, more focused on the collective, a dimension we were able to explore today. 

But Ahmedabad is not just a built-up city, because even before discovering this facet, we first realized that it is also a place deeply connected to nature⛰️🌳. We felt this during our hike in the jungle, a natural area with dense vegetation. Climbing the steep paths, fatigue quickly faded in the face of the beauty of the landscape. At the very top, the air was of a rare purity, and the view offered a breath of freedom 🕊️. There was even a place where you could shout and hear the echo resonate in the hills. A simple, yet unforgettable, moment. 

Then, at the Centre for Environment Education (CEE), we discovered another form of connection with nature: that of learning, respect for the environment, and harmonious coexistence with living things. There, nature was not just a backdrop, but a true educational tool 📗✍️.

In the very heart 🫶🏽 of the city, right near the Atal Bridge, an emblematic structure, a peaceful garden, awaited us: the Riverfront Flower Park 🌼🌺.This place isn't simply a green space for strolling; it's an invitation to slow down and reconnect with what's essential. What particularly struck me here was the way water is conceived: not as a mere decorative element, but as a resource intelligently integrated into the design ⛲. There's a real sense of sustainability, an approach inspired by regenerative design, where each resource is used with care, with a deep respect for all living things. This garden is much more than a park: it's a symbol of balance between nature and the city, between what we build and what we protect. 

And there, guided through the experience, we took a moment to simply listen. Listening to nature singing, the wind drifting through the leaves, the birds in the distance... It was an activity in itself, a suspended moment where nature spoke to us, gently, without words. A simple, yet deeply soothing exercise, which allowed us to reconnect with our surroundings, in silence..🕊️🌳
