Have been staying here for maybe ten days, and a lot of them are centered around the beautiful goldfish bowl of a building complex that I stay in. Since I've stayed in a bungalow, PG, or makeshift flat before, this is a step up.
If I don't amble around the complex in the evening, I miss the greenery and the fountains that come on. The gym is a two minute walk within the complex, as is the grocery shop. Kids have a gala time, with badminton courts, place to play football, cricket, TT.
Mothers gossip while their young see saw, slide, and swing away. Teenagers huddle for heart to hearts, while young boys laze on the lawns. I get an entirely different view from my balcony. Kids roller skating below seem kind of flat.
Orange fish dart about in the pools, fascinating our young visitors. My fish showpiece plate was the object my nephew in law and I bonded around. Children are so imaginative- this three year old made up a story about the fish vomiting and needing to go to the doctor- he was experiencing these symptoms.
I gape at my surroundings whenever I step out. Jaipur is a beautiful, historic city. Am keen to explore Albert Hall, revisit Amber Fort, and eat at Sharma dhaba- at 1000 Rs. a head. It is a clean city, perhaps because immigrants target metros.
i look forward to unraveling this city's layers. Decoding the mainly Hindi signs and shopkeepers' Marwari is keeping me busy right now!
