Jaipur fun cont.

I am sorry. As told in the earlier post, I could not keep up my
promise of writing on the blog. But now I am in a mood of writing
so let me go on.


One thing I noticed in Jaipur especially in the University of Rajasthan was there are lots of pigeons and squirrels. I have been hearing since my childhood that if you see a squirrel your day goes well. I dont know how far it is true but my days were quite okay.

I liked Rajasthani music and food. One speciality about Rajasthani music I would like to say is that it just keeps its audience awake. Unlike lectures which are boring and often put you to sleep (atleast I find lectures boring and I learn that people of my age generally do) the music is traditional as well as gets its younger generation interested in it.

What shall I say about food. It is just awesome. Only for your information, the ghee which was used in food for one day could have been used throughout a year in a Goan household.I just wished I could have a photo of one food item to put on the blog. But unfortunately the battery used to go off just when I found a good shot. May be the camera has its own wish and can get lazy when I think it can't.

Fun and fun in pink city Jaipur

Its been more then a week now since we returned from Jaipur and I am thinking how lazy I am to put up all the exciting things we did in Jaipur on this blog. You must be wondering what I am talking about. Let me explain you a bit.



We, a group of 10 Goa University students from the department of Sociology accompanied by our 4 seniors had recently been to a Sociological conference held in Jaipur, Rajasthan. We were not accompanied by any professors. The entire responsibility of us (though we are adults and all that stuff...) was taken by Shoaib.

The journey began on 25th of December, 2008. I thought I will write something about the preparations of going for the Conference on 25th. This time I was not lazy , but net frequently got disconnected.

We began from Madgaon railway station at around 9:30 p.m. after which we had great dinner in the railway. Next day we reached Bandra station. From there we caught a train to Jaipur. We reached Jaipur on the day of the Conference i.e on the 27th. We came to the University by hiring a rickshaw. 2 days of travel in the train and no accomodation on reaching there. We managed to attend the inaugural session with the stink in a posh hall with posh people.

Feeling lazy and tired again. Will write about more exciting and crazy things and about how we got our accomodation tomorrow. Stay tuned.
