The Rajastan's Experience

         

        Rajastan is one of the poor state in India. The climate is semi desert and the Thar desert of India is located  here, on its North West. The vegetation is  Desert and its dry throughout the year. Everywhere  red sandy soil was seen and its difficult to grow vegetables here due to the extreme dry climate. The common plant is the spiky plant, which is grown throughout India.

      

            On our way to the Capital of Rajastan we stopped at a Highway restaurant which served vegetarian food such as rice chapatti and dhall gravy accompanied with salad, papadam and grilled chicken, we were also serve miniature or tiny okras as big as tip of  finger, so tiny and it was a grated coconut stew. After lunch while travelling we saw okra farm  with huge  and bushy plants, with the  workers plucking  the tiny vegetable.

      

             Something I really don’t like about Rajastan is the poverty and the dry and dusty weather.When ever our bus stop, they were crows of poor people begging for money and some people were bussy promoting their  products to us. Most of the things were, miniature Tajmahal , handcarfts from wood and key chains. One  old man brought some books and explained about it to the customers, he came in side the bus, few people bought and many refused. It was Kamsutra in English version one elderly couple curious about it and ask the seller to explain what it is about, He said Kamasutra , but this man repeatedly asked him to explain and seeing this incident the women in the bus started laughing at this old man and the seller.

   

              I noticed the land in Rajastan though not fertile, still, farming was carried out intensively by the poor farmers. The  houses  looked like flat boxes, with flat room. Potatoe is  grown due to its sustainable nature, in the dry climate.

   

       The hotel or resort which we stayed looked more like a film shooting place with its lovely designed and cared garden with , swimming pool, fountain, temples and safely in a high fencing compound which could have been one or two acres of land. The morning walk was very nice, I took this opportunity to jog in the morning in the compound, the early morning breeze was so chilling and soothes the tiring muscles. After taking shower, I came with my sisters to the garden again before going for breakfast, and perform morning prayers in the temples there. A Priest was there performing the early morning rituals. The Rajastanins are Hindus and the Temples at the Resorts were , Ganesar, Shivan and Saraswathi. The blooming franrance of Jasmine and roses were something, we breathed in the morning  before we depart from the garden , which was the best  in Rajstan tour.
