9/11


Thus I complete a year away from home. Congratulations to me!!!
There is so much I have learnt, there is so much I have seen but I have given up on the food they serve here...impossible!!
A couple of months more to go and then....

Well...

When...

When you get just a couple of hours to sleep in a day
When you see your blog rank going up and down once every two months and you still can't force your brains to produce any creative juice
When you wake up each morning only to forget what day of the week it is
When the piled up clothes and you look each other in the eye, the former yells out "Please... we need a wash, you know it right?"
When you learn to look at things from a different perspective and soon after get lost in the same
When you wake up in the morning (each day) before your alarm goes off
When you have fever and you don't get the time to visit a doctor and the fever and you take care of each other

You know you are .........................

(Can you guess and fill up the blank?)
It rains...it rains cats and dogs...the streets, the trees, the beings, especially the peacocks, dance with joy. Young and old purposefully get drenched and look here and there with a sense of "happy guilt" when stared upon. The trees which dried up (read died up) during the summers, get back a new life and shine bright green (of various shades) in their newly found plumage. They look like they have just taken a much needed bath and that too after a very long time. Miles and miles of stark barren, 'depressed' land, which for an entire year kept staring and gaping at the sky now get to quench their thirst

Rejuvenation!! Everywhere!!

Bhangarh



A place lost in time...Alwar district in Rajasthan has a lot many stories to tell. Either through the dilapidated palaces or through the chhatris or the forts or even through its wildlife. One such city lost in time is the city of Bhangarh, rated as one of the most haunted places by the Government of India (Archeological Survey). Entry into the premises before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited. All that remains of the city is the palace, a few temples, some havelis and the main market.
