RUBAROO with Jaipur

Heena adorns the hand & music add life to celebration

















Bright , colourful, vibrant  are the names with which you can  associate Jaipur . one can easily spot beautifully dressed men and women in there traditional attires. Since my childhood I have always known Jaipur as a place of palaces and Forts . My long desire was to know Jaipur apart from these tourist destinations. Jaipur is a live example of rich heritage and culture that we owe from our "once upon a time" rulers.

The city touched my heart when I came across communities who are singers since ages. Even the little member of the house sings and enjoys. All kinds of musical instruments are found here. Jaipur specializes in Harmonium and Tabla. Music lovers from far off places come here to learn music and dance. Till date we hunt for Rajasthani mehndi(Heena) artist to apply mehndi on the hands of bride . This is another community in Jaipur who  survives on age old traditional art. God bless them!! they make the brides hand look beautiful.

A winter evening in Jaipur is mesmerising . All the forts and monuments are lit with dazzling lights. The ambiance is so alluring that It automatically takes you back to the 17th century the period of Maharaja Jai Singh .I was spellbound on a city tour to many of these forts. The architecture speaks for itself. Jaipur touched my heart with its simplicity and authenticity.  A family invited me to have Dal , Bati and choka at there residence which will forever keep me connected to this BRIGHT  city the PINK CITY.

The Goan reunion

REUNIOIN 2019 A  sojourn , a destination, a spirit ... Yes Iam talking about my Goan reunion. Oh , Boy ! How excited we were.  Goa is indeed  the ideal place in India for a school reunion. So the tickets were booked well in advance to avoid any hassle. Now came the question for booking the property, finally after much discussion a villa was booked for 3 days and 2 nights from November 23 to 25. Most of us preferred to stay In a villa rather than staying in a hotel. I must say we all made an excellent choice. ON THE WAY The D day finally arrived .. it was 22  November 2018, I was suppose to leave for Mumbai. Oh ya Instead of flying directly to Goa we planned to break the journey for more fun... 3 of my friends were flying with me from Delhi and 2 were going to meet in Mumbai. From Mumbai we were suppose to catch an overnight train to Goa. The best part was that only 2 tickets were confirmed and we were 5 in number. It was a captivating e...

A day at Landour

lal tibba a view to capture snow -capped mountains Breathtaking , it was , the snow-capped mountains, picturesque surrounding I could feel love in the air. Though I have been to Mussorie many times but this part of heaven remained unexplored. Landour, which was a Cantonment town in British India was named after a village called Llanddowror in south-west Wales. Lost in the mists of Himalayas, draped in the scarlet red color of rhododendrons & thick deodars, Landour reminds you of the British Raj. A 5-kilometer steep drive or walk from the crowded bazaars of Mussoorie, it’s a different world of peace and lush views. Landour should be on every mountain lover bucket list. This beautiful town is the home of famous writer " Ruskin Bond". A mystic view The “Europeans” made a point of preventing Indians (even the royal families) from building in Landour, and so there is not a single residence of an Indian prince in Landour, which can only be found in Muss...
