I always love going back to Jaipur. The most recent trip was extra special as I was invited by the Rajasthan Tourism Board for Rajasthan Diwas 2016 celebrations. The Rajasthan Diwas 2016 had a good mix of events. I could see but only a few of them! The programs would go on simultaneously, so it…

Guda Bishnoi Lake- A Magnet for Demoiselle Cranes
I stood by the Guda Bishnoi Lake completely charmed. As far as eyes could see it was full of Demoiselle Cranes, only at that point people told me they were Siberian Cranes. I had my doubts but a lake full of cranes by any name is a delightful thing! Guda Bishnoi is about 25 kilometers…
Visiting Mehrangarh Fort with an Audio Guide
Maybe it has got something to do with the way history has been taught to me in schools! I would remember a lots of dates and places before the exam, only to forget it later. Maybe it became a pattern with me which was trying to settle for life. But I desperately wish to break…

Jaipur in Pictures
I find Jaipur delightful. It is firmly established on the tourism map and yet it remains as charming as ever. I have never been a fan of major tourist places but Jaipur by far is an exception. I like the colors, the food, the monuments and the shopping! So, here are some pictures from a…
A Memorable Stay at Jaipur Marriott
I am not a fan of road trips, they usually leave me tired. Also at least twice during any journey, I get a feeling that we barely escaped colliding! But the driver of my car from Jaipur Marriott was a real pro, I never felt that we would collide at any point in this trip!…
O2 Spa at Jaipur Marriott
I just got back after spending an extended weekend at Jaipur Marriott. Sometime during the trip I realized with a start that I went back to Jaipur after four long years! I wonder how I let that happen! But I am back now after having an awesome time at the hotel and in the city but…
That Evening in Udaipur
If you are keen on watching the sky you might notice that it puts on a special show only on a few days. The fact was specially prominent to me while I watched that special sunset at Udaipur. Maybe as I am commuting most of the days at sunset I simply do not notice the…
