Can a city really capture someone and hold them so close that they don't feel like leaving?
It happens,sometimes..
This is a humble city but with a lingering and lasting heritage that never fails to shine and illuminate each and every one of its corners...
Right from the glory and the stately nature of its Albert Hall with its bright white walls and royal interiors to the genius of its Jantar mantar, the city never ceases to amaze..
The city palace has a long lasting heritage which beacons even a stranger to chat up to it...the shops are colorful and the bangles endless,never leaving one's wrists,never really letting go of the curious tourist.. soaking him in them...
The food scrumptious, flavorful, and yet light like a little feather,a gentle stroke to the gastronomy...
But nothing can beat the city at night, while Delhi is drowned in smog and coated by dust, Jaipur offers a basket of night time sky,each star poised...
All the constellations proudly visible in this deep inky empyrean,
The little night lights take shape of the architectural glory and the facades of buildings lit up ...giving a shape and beauty to the sky you'd never find with the dull square lights of the metros's ugly sky scrappers...
And with Amer fort actually speaking out its legacy to us lesser mortals, one feels indeed humbled by the sound and light attempt...which so aptly captures her angst and lonliness,,,
Jaipur, I will return not once but twice, as there is a promise of a ghost town around u as well.. farewell and god speed...
