But then we found that the timing for Air Show is 5:30 pm. Distressed and tired of the heat, we went to McDonald's on Ashram Road. But once the show started, it was worth all the waiting. From there we went to Ahmedabad National Book Fair 2016. This time it is behind NID, Paldi - on Sabarmati Riverfront. Although tired, we felt relief from heat as the book fair is air-conditioned/air-cooled. Too much rush as it was Sunday.
