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.

Trains always fascinated me since childhood . Many train memories are still crisp in my mind, especially when the whole family travelled together for summer holidays.

The adventure of deep blue Sea

The adventures of deep blue sea.. Awestruck.. our hearts were bubbling with joy when we saw a tantalizing glimpse of the wonder creature " Dolphins, Siberian cranes and many more ...." It is indeed a memorable sojourn and one of my fantastic road trip from kolkata to chilika in orissa ,India. one can break the journey by halting at puri where you can enjoy the sea and make sand castles on the beach. After refreshing ourselves we headed for the destination.  Chilika lake is about  to 50 to 60 km from puri. The drive is pleasant as trees are present on both side of the road . on reaching chilika we contacted orissa tourism for a boat ride which is absolutely safe and sound and well managed by the orissa tourism. Chilika lake is a water lagoon, spread over the Puri, Khurda and Ganjam districts of Odisha state on the east coast of India.
