Day1: Jaipur-The Pink City

Jaipur  (👉 Old Jaipur City ,👉  Royal Forts )(3N) –  Ajmer (0N) –  Pushkar (1N) – Udaipur (2N) - Chittorgarh(0N) (Click on the name of the cities to browse through each in detail) Sanganeri Gate, One Of The Seven Gates To Enter The Old Jaipur City Everybody knows that Jaipur is called the pink city. With all those expectations we landed in Jaipur on December 25 th 2019. To our surprise it did not appear so. It appeared like normal city in India with all big new buildings, malls and hotels painted in different colours. As we proceeded to our stay we understood that it was the OLD JAIPUR which was called the ‘ PINK CITY ’ earlier and the phrase now means the entire Jaipur as such. Big Red sandstone coloured Wall Surrounds Old Jaipur with many gates or arches in different directions as Entrance to the Old City . Every building appears similar and in the same colour within this great wall. Best Time: We visited Jaipur during Christmas Time and we felt it to be the best. As

Mind: The Palace Of Thoughts

1.Realisation: Am I obsessed with my thoughts?  Will you please stop chattering? Why don't you leave me free ?Can you please stop thinking about it? Why do you always hold on to it? If these are the questions you ask your mind, then you have crossed half way in getting those answers. Yes, at least you have realised that your mind is out of your control.

There are also people who realise that they are into a bad thought but don't wish to come out of it and they keep playing it like a movie.  Many people consider it as very normal and do not wish to give importance to the thoughts they get. Yes, it is of least  importance unless it doesn't affect your emotional health. But, on the other hand,  if you are emotionally down, understand that it may be because of your thoughts.

Vizag(Dec 2018)

Image
  The moment we informed others that we are planning to spend five days in Vizag, the first question everyone asked was " What is there in Vizag to spend five days?" . To be honest, we felt it tight by the end of our trip. Though Vizag as such doesn’t have many places to visit, there are places in and around Vizag to make the stay wonderful. For people who are interested in an ancient ruined sites, this is a good place to visit. Places Not To Be Missed: While in Vizag, it is better to combine Araku and Borra Caves and a few rare temples near Vizag. So do not miss Borra Caves, Katiki Waterfalls, Srikurmam, and Srimukhalingam while in Vizag.  Stay : Dolphin Hotel An Awesome hotel with good rooms and a lovely spread in the buffet. They arranged for excellent takeaways with fruit salad for our Borra trip(even at odd hours). Travel desk facility is also available. Local and outstation trips can be booked at a fair price. We liked our stay at this hotel. We did not have food anyw
