Jaipur Saga


As the final few days are approaching by, suddenly I’m realizing that I have tacitly fallen in love with this city, popularly known as “the pink city”. It’s actually a city with the touch of a town, a complete blend of culture and metropolitan charm.
Choki Dhani
It dishes out with fun in all possible dimensions, from the “loose control” place Nahargarh, whose ambiance allows you to play your adventure string; to the very “ethnical” choki dhaani, which introduces you with the real Rajasthan, Camel Rides, folk dances and the delicious Dal Batti Churma, the very specialties of Rajasthan all packed up in one; to the "natural scenery" of outskirts like bhangarh, samod, chool giri, etc which bestows you with the nature’s finest blessing; to the new and very “this and that” TC  which presents you with rock music and the western style bars. But all these exuberances becomes still as the night approaches by, and the city humbly sleeps, to rise up early, next morning and host its people with a new enthusiasm.
It is actually the kind of city which do not allow you to walk alone and hearing to the slangs like “chhora” “chhori” and “raam raam sa” while walking down the road, further thrills you up.
Bhangarh




The very regal places like Jal Mahal, Amber Fort, Albert Hall, City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar undoubtedly proves that, it has remained the abode of Maharajas for a sizeable period of time. The multihued market places like Bapu Bazar, Jauhari Bazar, Chaura Rasta, etc all filed up with traditional but fashionable attires, magnetically attracting every lady’s heart to fill up her wardrobe with them all.
Every festival has its own charm here, people here celebrate them in their own style, “the Jaipur Style”, whole city is dressed up as a bride when its diwali; painted with bright colors with a flick of love when its holi; and kites creating a beautiful collage on the blue sky when its Makar Sankranti.
This Jaipur Saga can’t go without the mention of the “low floor buses” the part which I have enjoyed the most being a student for almost four years. They drive you to every nook and cranny of the city most economically (the word highly thought about in student life :P) and very conveniently (the word least thought about being a hosteler :P)
so no one told you that was gonna be this way...
This city has gifted me with some of the great friends, friends who define me, who have knowingly or unknowingly contributed in making me, what I’m today. And it is because of this bunch of exclusive idiots, that the above mentioned places and moments, have packed up my basket with an assorted clunk of memories to cherish with and talk about forever.
Strangely it passes out fast when you are having fun and soon it is going to be all packed up and bidding good byes, with a promise of not losing contact ever, but who can say where the road goes.

Melting Moments As this semester is passing away, I am actually a bit anxious about the life coming ahead and at the same time am a bit sad about the one am going to leave behind. Winding up has always been difficult for me, but this time it is going to be heart racking. This place has actually made me what I really am today . Met new people, who have now started defining my being, their presence actually define my fun, and their absence make me feel miserable at times. And suddenly I’m realizing that most of them will not going to be around anymore . It seems as if the movie is approaching its “the end” and a sequel is about to be released with a whole new set of characters and is going to be shot at a completely new place.   From my personal experience I have learnt that long distance relationships are difficult to maintain and it makes me a bit apprehensive about the changes in the configurations that are about to come. It seems as if an era has passed away but in...

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भ...
