Today's morning started with a shock,while sleeping on khatiya..I slept over my mobile and its touch screen got broken.Damn,what is going to happen with my interview.What a start of the day.Had my morning tea at the dhaba but what about the daily DO stuff :D.Filled water bottle from the dhaba in case of any emergency call and started moving towards Jaisalmer.finally the call came and i started hunting for the place and finally i had to do it under a small bridge to avoid any unecessary attention :D.
Yeah,I made it
Road was in very good condition with no traffic at all.I reached the Golden City around 10 AM.Started hunting for acomodation.Local public suggested to stay on the hotels which are inside the fort compound.This fort is second oldest fort in Rajasthan built by Rajput King Jaisal.
So i checked in a hotel for 300 bucks.Next thing was to purchase a mobile phone.Went to the main market and bought the Samsung GURU.Cheapest of the lot :D :D
SONAR QUILA - Rising from the sand
One amazing thing about this fort is that 25 % of the citys population resides within the walls of the fort. There are series of gates after tha main entrance which leads to the courtyard.
Inside those fort walls its a whole world with shops,peoples and kids playing around.Jain Temples,palace of the former King.
Those sculpted walls and the numerous balconies were the main attractions of the fort. The doorways connecting the rooms of the fort are quite low.Intentionally made so that everyone walking from the corridors to the room has to maintain a low stature in front of the King and his Queens. Lol ! these kings would do anything for getting respect..jokes a part :D :D
Gadi Sagar Lake
Beautiful lake,solely fed by rainwater.It was orignally designed to provide town with fresh water.It has got few temples and plenty of ghats in its lap.
I was too tired,so after visiting the Gadi sagar lake i went back to hotel and slept for couple of hours.In between i got the call from the consultat for the conformation of the Technical round,i requested him to schedule it tomorrow by giving some solid but silly reasons ;)
It was almost evening when i woke up,time was around 4:45.I had planned to visit SAM dunes in the evening.SAM sand dunes is around 15-20 Kms from Jaisalmer.So i quickly got dressed and started rolling.
Reached Sand dunes around 5:30.It was time for a camel ride.First time in my life i had seen desert and first time in my life i was about to ride on a Camel.I was the totally enjoying these new expiriences.Camel owners demand too much for an hour or 30 mins ride.they said 500 for 30 mins.But didn't knew that they are in front of Master of Bargainers :D :D
finally i took ther rate down to 100 rs for an 30 mins :D :D.Dont ask how as it took 15-20 mins in all this ;)
Riding camel was fun,but scary too.On couple of instances i thought i am going to fall,but nothing serious happened.
In between met few peoples who has come Jaisalmer on their friends marraige.
While returning from SAM it got dark,stopped at one of the Pol(Gate) for a click
After the bumpy camel ride came back to the hotel,had rajasthani thaali at the marketplace.Food was very tasty but bit heavy as well,quantity wise. :)
Burp !..Time for some relaxation.
Cheers
