Holi at Jodhpur

                                                  

                                                       HOLI AT JODHPUR (THE BLUE CITY)

This year, I happened to celebrate my birthday as well Holi (the festival of colurs) at Jodhpur city India. Jodhpur is quite known as the blue city of India owing to the blue walls of its houses.

The fervor of festival can be seen in any given road of the city. Yet, the best amazement is seen at Clock tower of the city centre. 

one can also visit the Ghanshyam Temple at specific times. The temple is open to Holi revellers at specific times. we happened to missed out our first entry. Usually, it starts early at 630 am (Mangla Aarti) for an hour or so. We attended the next schedule which is 12:00 noon IST (Rajbhog Aarti)

The city is very much tourist friendly. One can see the international tourists jiving to the Indian beats on the roads.  

If you passing by the city during the festive hours, dont miss the chance to play with colors against a backdrop of blue wall.

Every house has a story

Every house has a story

Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai

Recently I was doing a lot of city hopping in search of a good house. My reality agent was taking me from one house to another in a bid to pursue my choice.

I was fascinated by the stories attached to every house. And I realized, new or old, every house speaks it own stories. 

An apartment is not a structure limited to its floor, walls, number of bedrooms and attached hall. An apartment is a house made with the people living in their. 

An apartment may be an investment for some, but for some its a abode of light and breeze. 

And then there are some empty apartments, left alone and barren telling the volumes of stories and memories they have kept hidden in their walls and flooring.

During my Bhutan trip, I got a chance to visit the design school of the capital city, where young students are taught the traditional art of embroidery, painting and sculpting.

Few shots I clicked, during my interaction with a student.

Hues of light

opportunities fill the sky

I spread my wings

to touch the heights

I travel in stillness

the faith keeps me grounded
