Tour e Rajasthan

Share and Enjoy -------

Hey all.. this post is about my 2 day tour to attend a marriage in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan..
Actually it was my friend's sister's marriage.. but some of my gang members planned to make it a small reunion types.. so we all went.. Although i dont have something against apni punjabi style weddings.. but yeah i liked rajasthani style weddings much more..
I would skip the details of how we all idiots caught the train at the last moment due to projects at office.. n yeah some of us caught due to accurate timings of indian railways.. which varies from 10 minutes late to half an hour late :D
and obviously we din let anyone sleep in the whole compartment coz of the loud voices laughter jokes songs.. et al... n yeah finding about hot gals in each others offices..
We reached chittor around 6 in the morning.. and the first thing we did was to dump our luggage at the friends place and went to see sunrise at the chittor fort... place was awesome.. specially standing on a cliff and looking at ground 200 feet down at one side(a perfect suicide point) n posing for photos on the other.. :)
anyways .. as soon as we returned home.. we were told a new funda of life " Jo shadi wale ghar mein kaam karta hai use bahut sundar ladki milti hai" Chalo beta ab kaam mein haath batao ..
lolz...neways it was fun helping tht guy n his family is the arrangements..
Rajasthani people are much calmer than our punju guys.. there was something called sangeet in thich people were going on stage n performing something something.. n i felt like i am watching england VS south africa.. where people jus clap like kings when someone hits a four.. huh
so we had to take control n then started series of shouting like"maar hi daala".. "subhan allah".. "katleaam ho gaya".. "wah wah " n all.. ":D
so finally they had to stop tht montonous thing and we were called on stage .. n for some 15 minutes some punju and english songs were played n we danced(basically throwing hands n legs around) like idiots :D
Rajasthani food is awesome.. the amount of desi ghee i had in just 1 meal was more than what i have in 15-20 days at home..!! and adding to that .. uncle put a big serving spoon of ghee in my plate.. thats is the reason i am getting fat :(
and yeah there was another custom.. people who were serving feed you laddoos with their own hand.. waow.. that sounds good na.. but it wont when one after one, six people do the same.. :O

the best thing i liked, since we were on girls side, we had to welcome barat.. n they give roses to all the baratis(members of boys fam).. haha.. who cares abt oldies in the barat.. we were just hunting for girls.. to give them roses.. that was a nice thingy.. :D

if someone wanna see some dumb pics of the tour .. they are uploaded click here

cool dude
i visited chittorgarh last year when I was in india - great place and cool fort - also have attended a maddu (rajasthani marwadi) wedding though in bombay 10 yrs back - they float in ghee and dont care...and also remember the rose reception for baraat - man nostalgia- great post and good pics

Red Soul said...

ofcourse it was a compliment! :D

and I soo wish to visit rajasthan.. for its colors.

You know the movie Vanity Fair by MIra Nair which I saw last month. They showed rajasthan in last 5 mins of this hollywood movie... with a hindi song... and all those vibrant colors... was gud.

Abhishek Khanna said...

Amrita said...
