Hustlers world

Jaipur's traffic blues beats Old Delhi, Kolkata's Burra Bazar hands down. Its nothing but chaos there. This is how you cross the street at the famous Laxmi Mishtan Bhandar.

But the shops and the streets have there distinctive character. The matka kulfi, the chhanchh and the Peyanj Kachouri are outstanding delicacies to keep you charged in all the hustle and bustle. Next time round I shall definitely spend a day shopping at Bapu Bazar!

This one tranquil road leading to Amber has a nice promanade where we stopped to catch a long distance glimpse of the Jal Mahal.

The surrounding hills remind you of the royal romances that must have unfolded in this summer palace of the kings. Bhul bhulaiya was shot extensively at the City Palace and I am all set to watch Jodha and Akbar now and let my imagination do the rest!
