Rajasthan dyaries

Im writing this from udaipur.. will come back and edit it, throw in a few photos.. you know..the works..

so anyway, its been a hectic few days.. here's a brief round up(in order of appearance in my head; may or may not match timelines)

Day 1- Arrival, Shawl place(side note - run by a cool guy called Muza who spends half the year in Brooklyn; drives a CRv so not a bad business at all(!).. he knew someone we knew so we had kehwa @ his place); checked out the city palace and had lunch @ this garden restaurant run by HH(his highness!!!1 the king of udaipur who obviously likes to assert himself like people with normal people with pot bellies, beards and low self confidence generally do)-pretty pocket friendly thali so you should check that out;some random place having vintage cars owned by HH(!); pimped out the jagdish temple and the sahelio ki baadi(chhyeah!) and spent the evening @ the shilpgram village(this ethnic heritage sorta village place with folk dancers, hawkers and all that jazz);roof top dinner @ our hotel to cloje the day(awesome view of the lake)(oh did i mention THE lake-its the Usp of this place, or rather the OSP(only selling point) so everyone likes to have some connect with it)

Day2-Shrinath temple(vrindavan part II),lunch @ the devigarh fort(dh1 recommend),saas bahu temple in the middle of nowhere(awesomeness on the intricate work, epic sun set @ the hill top monsoon palace(guess who owns it..nah i meant HH re) followed by coffee(yay!3 days seemed like 10 years) at the alfresco cafe there..bliss;followed by one of the best dinners i've had in ages @ Ambrai(this romantic outside place next to the bay, with soft live music and on the banks of the lake..my wet dream);did i mention the wildlife sanctuary on our way to the hill top place..

its currently day3..will totally update everything on this once im back..gotta run for dinner..meeting my cousin who's here coz of his CA articleship..its a hard knock life..:l

peace and Louu
