Just over two months ago, my wife and I moved our very cozy, settled life in Gurgaon, India to Vancouver, Canada — a city that is as distant and distinct from Gurgaon as can be.
The whims and motivations that drove this move are a topic for another post. In here, I want to capture, sans bias, the Vancouver that presented itself to me in my early days here.
I get to soak in the city the most while I walk to my office.
Walking on the road was almost surreal to me at first, having come from Gurgaon with the non-existent footpaths. Needless to say, though, walking allows one to absorb the city in a way driving cannot.
