Jaipur, the gorgeous city where everything comes alive

Pink City of Jaipur: The Capital of Rajasthan, India

Welcome to the old city of Jaipur located in the northwestern state of Rajasthan in India.

Here all the royal, traditional buildings and even the entire marketplace is painted in a dusky pink shade.

It all started in the year 1876 during the rule of Maharaja/King Sawai Ram Singh when every house, palace & building was painted in pink to welcome Queen Victoria & her husband, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.

Pink colour is also known as the colour of hospitality.

On that note, here's wishing you a gorgeous weekend, my dear friends and see you soon 🙌🤗

The Smell Of The Village Soil

Ever ventured into the countryside away from the concrete jungle of the city & town, away from dust & pollution, away from competition & rat race?

If not, then you must visit the villages of India. India is a land with varied landscapes dotted with hills, rivers, seas & oceans, backwaters, sandy & salty deserts, fields & farmland and forests too. In fact there's so much to explore!!

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

This is a village up in the hills & mountains of India.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

This village is in the heart of Thar desert/Great Indian Desert surrounded by sand where the only mode of transport is camel.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

This village is down south in the state of Kerala where such backwaters & houseboats are a common sight and coconut trees on either sides.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

This is a village in western India in the state of Goa where there is sea, farmland and some beautiful chapels & churches all over the place.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Another gorgeous village of India. This one is located in the eastern part of the country where the staple diet of the locals is rice & fish, hence glimpses of paddy fields & fisherman.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

This is how an Indian village looks like - grandma sitting in the courtyard; smiling faces of children coz they are genuinely happy & not just posing for the camera; huts with pet animals roaming freely; muddy tracks with greenery all around.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Also, you would be able to spot some very hardworking women; children & cattle venturing into the nearby forest and of course simple & meaningful activities like watching the sunrise, sunset or perhaps counting the birds flying by. Way better than those unstoppable video games played by our children most of the time.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Welcome to a typical Indian village 🤗

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Wish you a fabulous weekend, my dear friends & see you soon 🙏🤗

Life Is A Journey

There are muddy roads; concrete roads; no road; stairs to climb; rivers & bridges to cross; hills to trek; interesting souls on the way; at times nobody; sunny days; cloudy sky; dark nights & cheerful mornings.

But the journey must continue as always. Agree?

See you soon 🤗

And into the forest I go to lose my mind & find my soul.

See you soon 🤗

THE TRAIN JOURNEY

Life's quite like a journey on a train - at each station or junction of our lives, we make new friends while some others leave us unnoticed.

The journey is throughout dotted with meetings, greetings, goodbyes & farewells.

Let us all travel together on this amazing Tumblr journey, my dear friends creating some very beautiful memories before we reach our respective destinations.
