12 days of killing heat, vegetarian food, old forts, ruins and 600+ pictures later, i am back!
woo hoo!
okay.
the trip was brilliant.
it was.
i think i did loads of things other tourists don't usually do.
thanks to an uncle who accompanied us.
anil uncle was born and brought up in this village called ratangarh.
and so, he knew what to do best.
so yes, he successfully gave us a taste of the little extras.
for example, our first night was spent in a guest house in ratangarh.
the next day's lunch happened at one of anil uncle's friend's place.
and blah blah blah.

no, the trip was not always the woo-hoo-what-fun-i-am-so-happy trip.
there were times when i felt anger like i have never felt before.
i met a girl of my age.
she is getting married in a matter of a few months.
a really old village head was suprised how i wasn't married yet with 5 kids.
and somehow, its NOT funny at all.
i have never felt the urge to hit people so bad.
somehow, progress feels so pointless.


rajasthan is a really pretty place.
i realised that i used the word 'pretty' a bit too much.
but, hell!
anyway.
yes, so.
rajasthan!
brilliant place!
there were many pretty shots that i missed.
and that would obviously happen when one is travelling in a group of 17.
no one waits.
so that was a bit disappointing.
i rolled in a sand a bit too much.
as a result of which a bit it even managed to make its way into my cellphone and my camera.
YES!
MY CAMERA!
its working though, unlike this other uncle's video camera.
his camera's moving parts stopped working.
the lens of my camera doesn't shut anymore.
:(
i need to show it at a shop soon.
arrghhh.
anyway.
that's all i want to say.
nothing more.
because if i get into details, i wouldn't know where to start and where to stop.
so yes, thank you.
