| There were lots...but a few things stay in mind:
1. Common perception: Rajasthan is full of desert...you'll thirst for water. So carry enough with you. The reality is that, the desert fills up only a small part of the place. The rarest thing to find in the place is not water, but...Non-vegetarian restaurants.
2. People are nice.
3. There are some people who are not so nice.
4. If the business card of a concern says "R.S" and has sightseeing tips on its backside, turn tail and run. Its bogus. We were almost duped twice.
Frankly, there is only one person in this whole galaxy with the title "R.S", whom you can blindly trust
5. Never trust a cycle-rickshaw-wala.
6. There are such things called telephone and internet - things that can be used to check whether your train is on right time or not.
7. Never eat pizza from an Indian restaurant, especially if the waiters are dressed in Mughal attire.
8. You can't learn classical music in three hours.
9. Neither can you look at someone painting on T-Shirts, return back to Bangalore and think that overnight you can turn into a genius, by painting on fabric.
10. Never trust any structure that stands in the midst of a lake and looks splendid from far-off.
11. In Lonely Planet, we trust.
12. Camels are like...er...you-know-who.
13. And finally...before he decides to sock me and take me to court, forget i said that. |
