I want to say it was awesome. So very wonderful. Just as i had imagined. The whole Rajasthan touring bit.
For the last few years i have wanted to see India. I guess long ago when i did little bit of travelling in India, it was a different me. Bangalore/India does that to anyone i am beginning to think. The extreme arrogance. That was me a long time ago before i left this city. Then i went , i saw , i learnt a thing or 2 about being humble. Being able to take it in. As they say becoming zero.U are so open you can absorb anything and everything around you. Just when it was all falling to place and i was the variable tending to 0, i came back.
The few times i have retrospectively looked at this one year, one thing that stands out is I am becoming intolerant and arrogant again. I will just blame Bangalore for it and let it be. Oh well. Anyways, i have been wanting to see India where i could take it all in. You know with the keen eye and open mind. So finally there we were. Jaipur! pink city. we felt its more brown than pink ...the buildings in the city. Finding our way through the city in horse cart, cycle-cart, autos and taxis, admiring the marvellous palaces, mahals , museum and bazaars all i could notice was dirt filth everywhere and the crowd. Of course we chose to go during the country's biggest lit fest and we did anticipate crowd but nothing of that magnitude ! I mean not a-whole-hill-of-vehicles-stuck-in-a-traffic-nightmare-jam kinda crowd. That also meant i had to rush through the museums and forget about notes/pics since most of our energy was lost on keeping khushi safe.
