Jaipur


I went to Jaipur last weekend. Thanks to Arjun our plan (for last 6 months) was finally executed.

We stayed at Arjun's Uncle's place - Naila Bagh Palace and it is actually a PALACE. As soon as we entered it our jaws literally dropped. Its HUGE (obviously, right?). Anyways, we were more stunned when we stepped inside the palace. The drawing room had a huge chandelier and those old sofas. We stayed in one of the royal suites. Our room had one of those high ceilings with artwork in it (Check the 2nd photograph) and those long and old fashioned fans. It was a royal treat and an incredible feeling.

The next day we went for shopping. First, we went to this silver jewellery shop and we just went crazy (including the guys!). We just couldn't decide what all to buy..there were so many options..!! Then, we went to Anokhi....hmmm..well...again the same feeling. They had so many options but I had a little problem...FINANCE!!! Since now I am unemployed(sob sob..) I had a tough time. BTW, we didn't even spare Crosswords bookstore. We shopped even there. :D

On the last day, we got to see Vikram Bhaiya's bike. AWESOME!! It was a 600cc and his friends bike were 1100cc and 1300cc...OH MY GOD!! I have never seen those kinda bikes...it was just too good..!!!

The drive back was great as it was raining. And, Arjun literally freaked us out by dancing while he was driving. He got carried away with the song 'Pappu can't dance saala'..;).
