Has College Road lost its old charm, or is it just nostalgia?
Nashik has always been my आजोळ, so I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. Back then, College Road used to feel extremely fancy to me — the lights, the crowd, the shops, the overall vibe… it always felt so full of life.
Now that I’ve actually moved here, I recently went around College Road and somehow felt like it has lost a bit of its old charm. Many shops seem closed, the lights don’t feel the way they used to, and the whole area felt a little quieter than what I remembered.
On the other hand, Gangapur Road and Sawarkar Nagar felt much more happening and lively to me.
Of course, I could be totally wrong. I’m not originally a native of the city, and maybe childhood memories make some places feel larger than life in our imagination. Maybe College Road is still the same for people who’ve lived here all along.
What do you guys think? Has College Road actually changed, or is this just nostalgia speaking?
