The Jaipur Story!
Amber Fort, Jaipur- Sunil Feeding the Pigeons I wrote this post to say that my Jaipur story is now up at the Gonomad site. It is difficult to compress Jaipur in 1500 to 1700 words but that is what I did. So there are many stories that would get narrated here only. PS. The tall…
Have You Ever Traveled on the Top of a Train or Even a Bus?
No, don’t blame me for discussing such strange ideas. Blame Steven_Ber, the resident train expert at Indiamike. He has posted a photo of a young man in Assam who climbed on the top of the train to ask Steve “which country” you are from! That means Steve was traveling on the top of a train…
The British Museum London
British Museum London I took this picture at the British Museum in November 2007. The exhibition ‘First Emperor’ was at the museum but the entry fee to that particular section was low double digit pounds (was it near 17 or 12, can’t remember) and I gave it a miss. Also, I had so little time…

Card and Souvenir Shop, Oxford, UK I was playing with Picasa 3 and trying to add water mark to a picture. While doing that I realized this picture in Oxford is something I would like to post on my blog too, the colors are so nice. What do you say? Is the watermark taking out…
Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur- A View from the Fort
View from the Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur, Rajasthan Our first stop at Jaipur was Jaigarh Fort. There were a lot of monkeys around and at one point both Sunil (also referred to as Brat 2 many a times on this blog, I wonder if he too has a blog somewhere :D) and I were not sure…
Colors of Rajasthan- Restoration Work at Amber Fort, Jaipur
Restoration Work at Amber Fort, Jaipur- Colors of Rajasthan The fort at Amber is in itself quite majestic but what caught my eye was the colors of the dresses people were wearing at work. In Rajasthan people wear quite striking colors and what might feel flashy to me in Delhi, feels quite normal when I…
