Every week on Friday, I get a feeling of doing something
exciting. Rarely, just once in three months, I feel like sitting and home to
relax. If I sit at home for continuously three weeks, it makes me restless for
the entire weekend. I have to be honest with myself every Friday and make a
plan with family or friends. Like every week, we made a program to go for
bowling in Gurgaon, which unlike Delhi, is not well-connected by public
transport. One has to own a car or hire a cab or an auto-rickshaw to commute in
National Capital Region.
Anyway, Blu-O in Gurgaon is the place where we had to go. My
friends picked me up from my office in Cyber City, and we were off to have a
great time in Blu-O. The place is a gaming station where we can do bowling,
play snooker, and many other games. I have zero experience in bowling, but I
had a great time continuously failing and passing at the sport. Though we had a
plan to return home after bowling, no one wanted to go home. So here we were
off to Jaipur in an instant. Without looking back for a moment, we set off to
the Pink City. On our way, we booked a hotel in Jaipur so that we can rest our
heavy heads when we reach.
Early morning in
Jaipur
We had driven at a leisurely pace from Gurgaon to Jaipur; we
reached our hotel early in the morning. Thankfully, the hotel looked as it was
shown in the pictures, and the rooftop construction was brilliant. The real
Rajput architecture was used on the pillars and walls; it felt great to be
there and watch the early morning sun. The houses and hotels in front of us
showcased an entirely different picture of the Pink City. In that case, I feel
that every city has a different mood at different points of time during the
day.
A day spent in
Rajasthani style
Khameeri Hara Matar
Poori was something I had never heard about, but it was a delectable dish
that we had with Thandai. We decided
to take some rest in the hotel until historical monuments opened. After
sleeping for a couple of hours, we were off to Amer Fort, which is located
pretty away from the central city. Nevertheless, it was worth taking the pain
to reach there. Amer Fort is a sheer example of the royal lives of the Rajputs
of the olden times.
We could not realize where we spent our three hours in the
extensive Amer Fort. We had to force ourselves to get out of it and set off for
Hawa Mahal. This place was again a brilliant piece of architecture with
hundreds of windows. While clicking photos in the pleasant winter sun, it felt
great to just sit there with friends. Although we wanted to visit more places
in the city, we felt too tired to go ahead. So we decided to go to the hotel,
but before that, the girls in the group wanted to shop around for Sarees and
handicrafts. Maharani market is a beautiful place where we got almost
everything we wanted. We bought things for ourselves and souvenirs for our
families.
Just like every other weekend, this time was also spent well
wandering around Jaipur in a Luxury Car Rental that we had taken from a car rental company. One more day went in a
significant way, and I look forward to having many such great times with my
friends.
