Places Visited

Shopping
Morning stroll to Gangaur Ghat & city palace occupied me
till 12.30. Gangaur ghat is the face of Lake pichola also a good place to
hangout for sunrise & sunset, city place is more modernized but a good view
of Lake Pichola with the hotel can be luring. Had lots of rooms which displays
instruments, silver & gold accessories , city view. Touch the walls to feel
the cold marble & sit near the window for the cold soothing wind.
Refreshed at noon and started to Natraj Thali a best place
to venture food, returned back via markets which also covered the street
shopping.
Trying to figure out
the Ranakpur & Kumalgarh fort trip, wandering around the ghats (Gangaur
& Ambri). With am exhausted feeling, reached hostel came to roof top to
view the spectacular view through the arches. Sun was tinted with orange &
red with a view of complete aravali range. Hotels around lake are illuminated
with lights, an yet another Zen Zone. Post the heavy lunch, Pani poori was
sufficient for dinner.
Next day woke up 3 AM with severe stomach pain, was trying
to sleep with pain with troubled stomach. Decided to take tablets & had
tea. As I got ready by 8 am, bought some juices / biscuits understanding my
stomach situation. Cab was late, as I had nauseating sensation preserved the
front seat. Reached kumbargarh around 11 am. Gusty & cold wind blowing with
sudden change in the weather changed. Tried walking around 45 min &
couldn’t enjoy much of the fort. The fort looks just like dreamy ones in
Europe. Though my quench wasn’t convinced couldn’t walk around. My nauseation
& temperature increased. Just walked to cab and slept off with a tablet in
ca cab. As the group stopped the lunch, I skipped & slept again and had
tea. It gave me some energy.
After 1.5 Hours reached ranakpur. Had regained energy after
a chai, tablet & sleep. Visited the temple, it’s beautifully crafted in the
middle of Aravalli hills. The route which leads to temple is touched with
golden grasses. The ceiling is crafted & it’s got intricate design &
pillars. Why would maharaja built suc ha temple far off & how did they
travel? Could sustain only for 45 min & came back
Back to cab though we waited for others for 40 min had a rising
temperature and the cab zoomed in 1.30 min & reached at 6.30. Went to
hostel picked up my bags & went to banjara hostel. Checked in and was
trying to find kitchadi and ended up eating dhal rice which was not really
boiled. Came to hostel & retired. No energy to do anything & then I
slept off with yet another tablet.
Woke up in the morning & trying to figure out about chittogarh.
Came for a sumptuous breakfast, writing the notes with the view of haveli & jadgish temple, monsoon islands. Had a
solid food after 32 hours. Was trying to figure put the plan until 10 for
chittogarh though I was tired. Googled/informed front desk & until 10 I was
hopeful and gave up. I decided to chill out the day. After a good breakfast was
lying in the bed watching movies/reading books. Was hungry at lunch, had rice
& packed the rest. By evening was ready to go bazaar where kim from Belgium
came back from day outing & we decided to do stuffs together.
Initially went to bazaar and realized all the shops was
closed, walked back and went to sunset spot. Spent till sun finished its day
work and went to bagore haweli to get tickets & got the 2nd show
which was only availale. Until that time we spent at satori having pizza/garlic
and some drink. We played a quick board game with coins where kim won. At 8
reached bagore haweli & the show started around 8.25 & we were lucky to
sit in the front. One such amazing show with several dances, types from different
parts of rajasthan. Puppets which danced like KK & 72 old lady who stole
the how with several 12-15 pots balancing & dancing. Post that reached the
hostel , kim & me chilled out at the roof top
Last day of rejoice
My thirst for kada wasn’t convinces so after refreshing at 8
am, had breakfast and packed stuffs, kept things ready. We ventured into market
at 9.30 and learnt the shops were still closed. While I checked in other shop
wasn’t convinced so went back to hostel after bidding bye to kin. Got small
stuffs ready, after a quick chat with Helena started & I wanted to give one
more last try for kada at 10.15 am. My legs were hurried and spotted shop and and
bought the kada. Hurriedly got an auto as cab declined and reached on time. Landed
at Chennai with a clear mind erasing the negativity & life following lessons, ready to begin the next
innings.
Right time Right things will happen, until let go!
