With a heavy heart, we dragged ourselves to see the Golden city of Jaisalmer from Jaipur. Jaipur impressed us and me in particular with brilliant planning and discipline. The taxi drivers often complained to us about the engine abuse by the youth on the two tires between their legs which had grown horrendous in recent times. It was a long overnight Indian Railways organized journey that awaited us. Carrying three young kids of six, four, and three, the seven of us really was ready to call it a day as soon as we boarded the train. Some of us had been waiting to just get into the train to launch on to the cozy berths after a hot sunny day in Jaipur. The railway station was quite near to where we lived in those Civil Lines. The only botheration we had was on how to be together when our seats were as spread as 3, 4, 14, 15, 16, 24, 63, 64.

water scarcity, miscal for river and how to tackle it.

Whole India caught fire few weeks back when an unfortunate poor little soul was demolished by some ruthless citizens of India. Whole nation fought for her and wanted to see government taking action, people making changes and to witness something significant. I respect all those who fight for her and all those who truly tried to make a change. With all due respect to the judiciary system of my country, do you really think all these changes or amendments are going to help us in making great strides? Have really tried to look at the root of the issue? Maybe yes, our Facebook friends did a great lot on that front. Thought of sharing my take on the issue called RAPE. This is not an issue that we can just like that bring to rest with few amendments and strict rules. It needs careful investigation before we act. Do we think the issue starts with few guys who roam around jobless?
