Asli Rajasthan!

oh yeah after all those words on marriage material life happiness.. am back to my travelogue.. As i said more of rajasthan coming soon yes its the time for Rajasthan! Guess wat i had this crazy conversation with my rajsthani friend Nari who has apparently stuck in his dad decision of getting married before 25!! OMG i'm super excited coz his wedding is gonna be held back in rajasthan in the most traditional way..! What excited more is the fooodddd woww yummmyyy.. ok ok let me hit back to my trip..!I always had this picture of rajasthan in mind where you have this barren land with some cactus, lot of sand and a sunny day to add beauty to it – a typical desert picture. We reached Jaipur at around 2 a.m, so I really couldn’t see anything in the dark and more over I was sleepy! The morning was so welcoming in Jaipur! How can one miss to see those amazingly dressed camels and handloom shop.. For all the shopaholic out there, I would say it will be fun to buy those authentic huge bangles, earrings and those slippers. Well not to forget the Dhoti pants and cotton bags printed with OM and camels and elephants! I would call them as a must but souvenirs of Rajasthan. Jaipur the Pink City! After checking with the tour guide, I realized that it’s going to be a long fun day under the sun. We first headed out to the Amber Fort. I was just wondering if I was somewhere close to china.. As we drove to the fort I found this wall built around the fort which looked like Great Wall of China to my eyes! Then our guide explained that this wall was just like a border. The fort was massive.. Well massive isn’t the word which can describe it. One can reach the Amber Palace by three means – walk, car or the most royal ride on the elephants! Trust me you can definitely feel like a King and Queen as the elephant walks through the huge doors. Well touching to a bit of history, seems the palace was given to the govt and the fort close to it is still owned by the royal blood. The current youngest King is just 15 years old!

We walked around the beautiful palace.. The shesha palace - mirror palace was so glittering that one can take their eyes out of it. Some renovation works were going on. After going around the huge palace, we were so stunned by the architecture..! Now I heard a voice saying that I wanna study architecture dada..! So inspirational.. The artificial lake near the palace was so beautiful. As we got down to the road, we saw some typical rajasthani dances and cultural activities. My cousin Meena was so stunned looking at the colorful fun loving people though she never loved the sun. Then we headed out to the Jal Mahal and Hawa Palace where you just pass through it and it’s isn’t a place to stand and explore. Anyways we did stand in front of it for a while just to brush on the history ;) And then my aunt so insisted we eat in a local dhaba just to get the real flavor of rajasthani food. I would say it was a wonderful experience. Yummy hot tasty authentic food.. yes. I’m a Foodie . After having a sumptuous lunch, we headed over to Udaipur. Again a long travel!

Colors of a Fairy-tale!

Well i was just rereading my old blogs and was so surprised to see the way things have changed in life.. there are changes in priorities, responsibility.. sometimes it just makes me wonder if it is the real me! We all change through life, getting new experience few happy and few sad, making new mistakes.

Sometimes you get weird dreams which would make wonder if you're living someone else's dream or someone else is living in your dreams. There are somethings which remain the same just to remind you who you are and what you are worth! I am glad that one thing has never changed in my life that's my approach to life, family and friend!Sometimes i so wish i could roll back to my childhood, all you have a is happy family with no worries. A dream life all pink and happy and nice..! I should say nice is not a word to describe it. All i can say is that life is never a fairy-tale.. But sometimes in the middle of an ordinary life someone else's choice gives you a fairy-tale! Do fairy-tales come true?? if you expect an entire life pink then i must disappoint you! Life is like a bubble you never know when it would burst but when it does you should know how to handle! Most of the cases you don't know to. Sometimes life makes you feel AWWW each morning, you wake up think fresh, makes you smile when you are tired, it makes you a better person,makes you stronger and wiser an yea it makes you HAPPY!!! This fairy-tale does not just happen!Every day, every hour, every single minute, you work for it! you work harder for those every moment of life! You adjust, you care, you love, you compromise for those precious moments and those special ones. You create your own fairy-tale full of fun, happiness and love!

PS:Never expect ~ Live life like there is no tomorrow ~ love from deep down you heart ~
smile like a sunshine :)

OH MY GODDDDD... THE TOUGHEST INTERVIEW!

"Live everyday like the last day of your life", a cliche statement. Why do you think am saying this..? auright stop squeezing your brain! it has nothing to do with wat am gonna write.. lolz.. Well wondering wat am upto write? it's about marriage material!!! Parents in India they look at dating and flirting as a big deal. The best and the funniest part of arranged marriage is that you get to flirt and date your potential gurl/ guy who can soon be your life.. LEGALLY!! Craziness is all i would say though it's such an awesome feel.. i am none out of the box in this marriage world..! Wondering if this is marriage season.. just not humans even technology has started to fall in love.. Microsoft fell for Nokia/ HTC, Google committed to Motorola, and yeah the Apple is single and having fun! No wonder matrimony sites are filled with profiles like stars in the sky! The whole process of finding your soul mate has become like board examz.. omg! you scored a 9/10 in your horoscope match!!! Wow dat's like a great score as if you are gonna get admission in the world premier colleges! Had this crazy conversation with my friend at 2 in the night..She is married and she was like god knows who is this perfect couple.. i was like i so wanna meet someone who scores 10/10 ! is it something like 6/10 is the pass percentage..? and you score 10/10 you never fight and stuffs ? She was like man i don't think there's any couple who doesn't argue and fight and have misunderstanding! i was like ohhhh yeahh..Technically if all your stars are in perfect position then your are gonna be the perfect SOUL MATE!!! Next time if the couple fights its time you blame the stars and not yourself ;) not that i don't believe horoscope..but it has its own level of acceptance! Its very much obvious that u can't be this ideal/perfect couple! different minds how can you so think alike.. This is not like what happens to Marshel and Lilly in How i met your mother..where they actually feel the same thing at the same time! Horoscopes are scientific but you just need to know if your astrologer is scientific enough to understand the stars..! Man, this is supposed to be the most sweetest and ever cherished part of your life but few make you feel like you are attending the most important interview in your life! (i'm so glad that i ain't feeling so) its time we actually find a better way of interviewing just to make sure you are the right one! i wonder if there is someone called the Mr. & Ms.Right!! To me life is short, stay happy. it's all about sacrifice, compromise and trust than to fight on the whole issue again and again! Anyways at the end it..all i can say is good luck in your search!and yeahh my charming loving prince who ever you are, where ever you are ! keep smiling and love your life.. kisses and hugs to you!


PS: Finally added some romance to the Most important interview of life..!

WOWWWW I am standing right next to TAJ MAHAL!!!!!

Well.. After all that roaming in the city that never sleeps, I was in the land where nature and history meet – India, My lovely country.. Nothing beats the visual treat of busy and noisy roads, colorful atmos.. Missed all of them..The Duranto express was great with all my cousins around. The entire child in us was born again, jumping from one berth to another, getting down the stations, fighting for the upper berth and blankets. After all the hungama in the train, We reached Agra. The railway station was such a mess as expected and yeah not to mention about the tour guides who keep roaming all the way in the station just to bargain some $ and Rupee from the tourists! After all the bargaining, we finally reached the hotel for some quick refreshment. Wow watttaa breakfast.. aloo paratha’s, paneer paratha, sabji, yoghurt and pickle. After the good yummy breakfast, well I would say heavy breakfast, we were all geared up for our first day in Agra. Walking through the roads was a mess! I so wished that the govt took extra care of Agra ~ the most favorite tourist spots of India. And our guide collected our entry tickets to see the World’s beautiful monument; yes it is the TAJ MAHAL – the symbol of Love! I wonder if sun has fallen in love with the TAJ oh my god..! It was so sunny that we were so dehydrated by the time we finished the security check. Well biological abnormalities we were so high to see the beautiful monument!

Wow She definitely is a white beauty. Guess everyone should look at her and feel the beauty of it. Everyone from small to grownups take a lot of clicks, that you get calls from FB and says god sake stop updating your profile pic.. lolz.. On a personal end, I would say I loved every bit of TAJ, the love of river Yamuna hugs her around. I call her the white beauty; she was so calm stood still as I saw her 20 years back. Yes, this was my second encounter. Though I hardly remember seeing the TAJ, and all I had to kick my memory was a family pic taken when I was 3 years old may be! Not to mention I overheard some conversations of young lovers saying “Tum mer jaan ho..n blah blah blah “ Well after hearing this I so felt like giving one shot right on his head ! All I could call was hopeless romantics! Let’s not get there! After all the sightseeing and the long walks, we came to a small shop right outside the Taj Mahal, bought water bottles. We were so tired..and could so relate us to the nimboos ad wherein the sun sucks all the energy ;) Then went to Café Coffee Day ~ Anything can happen over a coffee, as they say. CCD Agra had a nice the Indian interiors, never mind we hardly noticed it since we were so dehydrated.. ordered some cappuccino , latte , Devil’s Own and ice tea! Felt so fresh.. When you are in Agra, how can one miss to taste the Agra Pedda..! the juicy and sweet yummy taste triggered all our taste buds.. After all the sweet eating we got ourselves some spicy corn. After visiting the Agra fort, we hired a car and headed over to Jaipur. Well once we cleared the check post at Rajasthan, We found a lot of locust flying around the highway. It was unusual for us! Anyways after a long drive, we finally checked into a hotel and had a tight sleep. Okay guys more of Rajasthan coming soon!
