Having Arrived In Jaisalmer

Having Arrived In Jaisalmer

Having Arrived In Jaisalmer at a time when tourists were making a beeline to enter the fort city, more inclined to believe their stay would be no less than a behemoth innings where some are yet to get going with weather findings. Painstaking reality is that from April To June when most parts of India are in the grip of heat wave, tourists keeping a date with Jaisalmer won't be abundant as temperatures rocketing to 50 degrees celsius and above, and herein lies the rub. And primarily for that reason I set on this February month with the bus ride from Jodhpur with no notable sessions of pause and none posing to be a boss. 

Taking A Room In Hotel Renuka Reminiscent Of Tirupati Stay

As I stepped out of bus stand and completed the commute to take a room in Camel Country (Mr Pathan, Mr Raju Bhai At The Desk) followed by a more meaningful stay in Hotel Renuka, the thunder and twist of residing in this Desert Rajasthan State was no less than a bliss. Chainpura Street in particular offers varied accomodation points with tourists least to be misguided in a city that has over the years won laurels and singularly law abided. Hotel Renuka in Chainpura Street brought on table a spacious room with attached bath clean to the last mile reminiscent of a room in SUPRABATH TOWERS in Tirupati  (Andhra Pradesh Province In South India) Opposite TTD SRINIVASAM with Mr Jay Chandra Reddy at the helm, and that too in July 2023 when India least faced tariff churn. That visit intended to touch base of Tirumala where Lord Venkateswara resides had its share of ups and downs. There were no personnel to guide that token had to be  gained from Bhudevi Complex, something that led me to cover 3550 steps from Alipiri Gate To Tirumala minus token, and enormity of undercurrents could well be visualised once I joined the general queue which most rue. Perhaps TTD should come out with notifications from time to time on changes ushered in for devotees to keep a date with Lord Venkateswara Temple irrespective of those reporting to brand Apple. Coming back to Jaisalmer Mr Yash Purohit of Hotel Renuka was the one who allotted me the room given the previous day discussion on my pressing need to shift to a new hamlet in a city that during night is blessed to see Jaisalmer Fort well lit. Staff members going by the names Mr Roshan, Mr Ayub and Mr Surendar Singh (Prized Cook Hailing From Pauri Garhwal In Uttarakhand State In North India) made the stay equally memorable and durable. Not to miss out on the meals he prepared on the day I was supposed to leave for Ajmer (Ajmer Dargah), and for the latter I having the brief to the fore.

Stay Spread Over Six Days

The stay in Jaisalmer spread over six days, improvised and uninterrupted from the previous four-day stay in July 2014, and this ignited interactions with different set of guys making no noise. Coming across Mr Talpat Singh who has three corners inside Fort (Free Tibet Restaurant, Panorama Restaurant; Run By Mr Vikram Singh, Refreshing Point Juice Corner), with a will to connect with all those who are in distant port. Mr Singh threw in the towel well before others could barely arrange their schedule, and this reaped dividends and that set in broad range of confidence. Meet Mr Rajendra Purohit, who is Post Office Agent, and here I initiate discussions on Fixed Deposits made by those who have on minimal outing faced any blues irrespective of economy losing at random clues. Meet as well Automan Mr Giriraj Purohit who whiled away the time next to Fort bringing on board his passion to run auto for the past 23 years, and this being his fifth auto by no means looking fierce. He broached the issue of women inside Fort who did not report to high schools even for a day and well conversant in French and German given the scale of interactions with tourists far and wide, visiting this paradise in ton. His two sisters truly settled inside Fort, two sisters outside Fort.

Taking Black Tea

While taking a voyage to Chandan Shree Restaurant one would invariably come across Nachana Haveli Building which I was told is 300 years old and Nachana Haveli hotel including SAFFRON Restaurant (30 years old). Not to forget TRIO The Restaurant and black tea served by Mr Narain Singh, that lend spring to the steps, and thereby one could text. Text on how amazing is this city, and some keeping memories in DVD. The 2014 commute to Jaisalmer was accomplished in a train ride from Jaipur (Jaipur Is Capital Of Rajasthan Province In West India) and guys from Shahi Palace Hotel in Shiv Road came to receive and transport me to Oasis Haveli. This time as well I visited Shahi Palace on few occasions to do a story as well as partake meals that were exceptionally soft on stomach. A word of praise for Mr Devilal and Mr Akshay.

The Will And Whisper Of Jaisalmer

The Will And Whisper Of Jaisalmer

Having Arrived In Jaisalmer (Rajasthan Province In West India) some multiple hours ago, the approach to this famed city was intertwined with thoughts on duration of stay, the very place that is one notch better given the heritage status tray. Heritage status most opine was very much needed, coming as early as 1974 from the forecourt of the then Indira Gandhi Government, necessitated by a desire that this Province of India gets in lumpsum tourists thereby bringing sizeable innings. I having visited this centre way back in July 2014, hoping this current visit would have a flavour of its own as India can't raise a script of $ 500 billion purchase from a distant zone. Having arrived in Rajasthan Roadways AC Bus, there were two guys waiting to transport me to a hotel in Chainpura Street, not willing to accede to my request that I prefer to zero in on Oasis Haveli sister concern of SHAHI PALACE Hotel in Shiv Street where in the face of sand dunes in the '70s people did not forget the art to greet. I was made to settle for Hotel Camel Country which perhaps down the years in operation has not able to fix the riddle of parliament commentary.

Interactions Broad And Wide

The first gentleman I met next morning was Mr Hari Ballabh Purohit with his brothers in Gurgaon and Noida which are on outskirts of Delhi where traffic is neither neat nor tidy. The second gentleman to come across was Mr Ramlal who had brought a group from Bikaner (326 kms) and Bikaner from Jodhpur from where I came now is almost 250 kms. Meet sanitary worker Mr Kalu Ram Adiva from Pali. Meet Mr Hari Singh guide from Badoda Village in JSM. Meet Sanitation Head Mr Mahendra Kumar. Meet Mr Dhanraj Garg, Mr Saajan Ali. And not to forget Mr Durga Das born and brought up here. And the sum total of interactions was the season time lasts barely six months lending the inmates of the city reservoir of income that can see them through entire year with renewed gear. Water was an issue prior to '74 has been set to rest (Indira Gandhi Canal Coming Into Shape) though difference of opinion may emerge on the scale of preparedness for Jaisalmer Fort rote by rote. Jaisalmer has a population of 3 to 4 lakh including those residing in the Fort, and with sizeable restaurants and hotels in and around there are over and above 600 guides who desist to engage in sessions enlisting frown. With 300 guides armed with govt licence, the rest left out, there is a clarion call that they too be in this ORBIT.  

For Those Not Banking On Tourism

The Jaisalmer Fort is over 900 years old, having come up during King Jaisal's reign (1156), and it took roughly 350 years to raise the same. The Fort at present is tasked to handle a load of 5000 people (1200 registered voter families with each one having four members) residing inside, and with no gated colonies everything is transparent and nothing to hide. As for those not banking on tourism working around agricultural fields is the saving grace. For small and marginal farmers there is no rescue plan as to bring right quantum of water to the fields boring would seek Rs 10 lakh investment with clean hint. And here guide like Mr Chandraveer Singh chips in suggesting that govt come up with a plan which lends support to marginal farmers as well as ensures that men don't don dual role of guide and automan as it takes away the bread and butter of genuine guides who can revisit the tales of Fort to as well as followers of Tennis Icon Ivan.  All worries centre around diminishing employment numbers as restaurants like TRIO to Nachana Haveli (Saffron) can give returns on jobs too little, and they staying neutral.

As I met student Nepal studying in Kendriya Vidyalaya in Air Force Station, there are others enrolled in Mission School, all equipped with the fact that JSM in the past was known as Jharokho Ki Nagri (City Of Windows), and let the state of affairs be testament to the fact that visitors here come from as distant as Iran and Greece with trains running on tracks.

While taking a stroll there is Chhagan Dairy Farm in Gandhi Chowk offering peas, milk and cottage cheese. On the way there is Maulana Masjid. There is as well Lord Hanuman Temple in Mali Pada. There is abandoned STD ISD PCO booth. Well when it would become functional not known. And the road from here goes to Malkapur.

Postings From Jaisalmer On A Ride From Jodhpur To The Famed Fort City With Some Carrying CV

Postings From Jaisalmer On A Ride From Jodhpur To The Famed Fort City With Some Carrying CV

Having reached Jodhpur (Rajasthan State In West India), the trials and tribulations were yet to set in as stay looking pretty visible in the same lodge in Jalori Gate of December 2017 when I set foot post din-din. Once having accessed Jalori to my horror the said lodge was not to be easily traced, and what I realised it was renamed with interriors that could put the manager on a feeble pedestal where he could not gain fame. Interiors were dirty and dusty, rooms approach something that could not be in order despite one having owner's addy. Instead I settled for Hotel Durga Silverline (Behind Razdan Mansion). The next day I set for Pali Road to access Pal Balaji (Lord Hanuman Temple), the ride back and forth accomplished in auto with no necessity to have reminders on Protocol Kyoto. The Temple is neat and tidy, with multiple devotees turning up to put in a prayer in a city where some roll out crit that is no less than a writ. The next task was to gain appropriate directions to Jodhpur Central Bus Stand to take a vehicle to Jaisalmer where one presume fewer have airs. 

Reaching Jodhpur Central Bus Stand

Having reached the bus stand after 12 PM on a Tuesday from Platform 19 there are buses to Shergarh, Pokhran, Ramdevra, Jaisalmer, Tiwarin, Osian, Bhopalgarh, all important locales in State Of Rajasthan where calls do come from Central Asian Region Kygystan. All these calls are widely about reserves in this region with fanatics barred from having multiple designs on treason. While biding time there are thoughts on bus drivers of Rajasthan Roadways Transport Corporation and the punishing schedule they are subjected to, and on occasions that is true. Automan Maqsud is kind enough to drop me at Central Bus Stand, and from here there are buses as well going to Jaipur, Bikaner, Jalore, all important landmarks in this Province, and here there are chants in unison marking significant events.

Gaining A Seat In Jaisalmer Bound Bus

Conductor Mr Mahendra Purohit is kind enough to dispense window seat in Jaisalmer bound bus which one believes won't give stress. The bus leaves at 1.30. Goes past Circuit House Jodhpur. Dry Fruits Stores galore followed by ads of Guru Kripa Career Institute as well as Allen Jodhpur, and those taking coaching are primarily the ones who have near and dear ones filing bridges and road tender each and every calendar. There is a photo of Mr Ashok Gehlot congratulating Ms Manisha Tanwar probably on her birthday. The bus goes past Solanki Dairy Farm. Reaches Jasnath Nagar Toll Plaza at 2.30, and at 2.42 the bus goes past Tata Motors Authorised Service Station with Hanumanth Nagar (2.45) looking to be in prime action. Thoughts on Chhatarpur Temple in New Delhi as well as on Lopchu Tea from Darjeeling where people during inclement weather seek rock-solid dwelling.  On water tank message etched vote karein vafadari se, chayan kare samajhdhari se (Vote With Loyalty, Make Wise Selection).   

Pokhran Still Far Away

At 2.47 Pokhran 103 kms away. At 2.58 reach Balesar flanked by shops of equitable proportion. There are young boys and girls selling different eatable items, and some expected to sport watch of brand Titan. In Balesar there is HDFC ATM followed by an ad of Ultratech Cement. Number 1 Cement In India, and this known in distant Croatia.  Motisar Khanori Toll Plaza comes at 3.30 with Dechu at 3.53. Visible are sand dunes as well as camels, and uneasy lies the head that wears the crown crisscrossing varied channels.  At 4.08 reach Mandla, reach Amravati restaurant at 4.27, and what is in store for Amravati the Proposed Capital of Andhra Pradesh Province known in some quarters with Grace. The road after 4.30 reminds one of Jamnagar-Dwarka stretch in Gujarat Province where the mindset need not be dreich.

Ample Drip Irrigation System; Going Past Date Palm Safari Gaining Traction

Reach Pokhran at 4.33. Series of fruits and vegetables carts seen here with no fear. As there is ample need to develop Pokhran bus stand, the employment figures imply some getting canned. As the bus leaves bus station next to Gajanan Namkeen Bhandar (Snack Corner), there is a store dispensing tea amidst multiple visitors, and none duds. From here Jaisalmer (JSM)105, Bikaner 225 kms. KASHIDA Exclusive Range Of Handicrafts By Artisans Of Western Rajasthan can be spotted.  From 4.50 onwards  drip irrigation system visible about which I wrote in 2015 January about a visit in July 2014 with none getting angry. At 5.30 reach Bhadira Temple followed by Lathi Station Road. That reminds one of Tamil Star Mr Vishal and Lathi movie, watched by those who prefer to furnish CV post a drive in EV.  Few moments later go past Madarsa. At 5.41 go past Lathi Toll Plaza. Mind you, the area is awash with fertile terrain post 4.50, and this is impressive for Rajasthan which from time to time has moments of gaiety. At 5.56 JSM 40 kms with perfect noting of The Serai JSM. At 6 go past Date Palm Safari which is poles apart and has amazing tales and plot.  At .6.02 go past Dargah, and at 6.06 Bhagoo Ka Gaon with benchmark index by all means down. We are on National Highway 11. At 6.25 JSM War Museum Accessed, and from here JSM 10, Sam 50, and none getting haughty. At 6.37 there are directions to Barmer, and at 6.37 reach Bhishm Dwar followed by JSM at 6.38 when buses meant to take passengers to operational flights can wait.

This was a ride to Jaisalmer coming after 11 years, with hope and a prayer that Jaisalmer Fort gets enough dose of cheers. This was a ride to access that city where cheerleaders gather to gauge and irrespective of weather visitors do come in good numbers to raise for their tourism feat a word of praise.

Postings From Jaisalmer On A Train Ride To Jodhpur From Delhi Cantt Railway Station

Postings From Jaisalmer On A Train Ride To Jodhpur From Delhi Cantt Railway Station

Leave Safdarjung Enclave Home At 1.10 PM On A Monday, the day the city is least prepared to take under its belt the weighty traffic with no thoughts on Canadian Town Inuvik. Go past Embassy Of Cambodia where there are guys in white and black attire perhaps waiting for visas to travel to Phnom Penh to gain. As usual there is back to back traffic on Delhi ring road, less seen in Tamil Nadu's Erode. Go past Bhikaji Cama Place. Go past GAIL Leading The Change To A Cleaner Future with those having withdrawn from Paris Accord in coming months may not be able to park themselves next to a yacht. Go past Sector 12 R K Puram. Go past South Moti Bagh (Mind You All These Places Are In The Heart Of Delhi). With Directions to South Campus (Delhi University), Satya Niketan, Nanakpura not on hold, and some in the city residing with the name Deora. Reach Dhaula Kuan at 1.25, and from here Jaipur 295 kms, Mumbai Expressway 40 kms with none appearing to be doofus. There are directions to Arjan Vihar, Janakpuri, Uttam Nagar, locales in West Delhi, with some maintaining contacts with fishing villages Koli. First red light spotted at 1.28, second 1.30, third as well at 1.30, and these lights not necessarily next to a place seeking ID. There are thoughts on Shimla, Mc Leodganj in Himachal Pradesh Province where people recall works of Keynes. Perhaps this Delhi Cantt area would require flyovers down the years given the insurmountable traffic bringing at this moment no cheers. Thoughts on how I gained rail ticket by visiting Sarojini Nagar Reservation Centre come to the fore with no uproar. 

Seeking Tatkal Ticket From Reservation Centre; Beginning Of Train Ride

Having reached reservation centre a day before train ride was to commence at eight in the morning, I was clueless on how entry would be made in the register deciding the first come first served basis for those including barristers. Once entry was made around 9.30 the rail personnel appeared verifying who all had come early and filled the requisite train forms for tatkal ticket, and expected to carry luggage in train minus trolley. Getting hold of my form, he asked for my mobile number. Having understood I was not carrying mobile, he said he would chip in with his number as OTP was required to be dispensed with to gain tatkal ticket, and this somewhat looking rigid. Around 9.55 I was at the counter hoping to get the ticket to State Of Rajasthan, with least likelihood there would be calls later from Turkmenistan. By the time the clock struck 10, Mr Jaideep the rail man was helpful enough to book the ticket. At 10.10 I got the Jodhpur ticket primarily in tatkal bracket with no pressing need to carry tennis racket. With these thoughts on Sarojini Nagar Rail Counter at the back of mind, the ride in Delhi Cantt was past Kirby Place with I reaching Delhi Cantt  Station after 1.38 in a nation that should slam the campaign of hate. The Jodhpur bound train (26482) leaves at 3.11, and no sooner it started to move it stopped. Uttar Union Mazdoor Union (North India Workers Forum) board could be seen with ease, and hope with Railway Board they are at peace. Flanked by series of flats, Palam comes at 3.19, and Shahbad Mohammadpur at 3.25. Few moments later Bijwasan followed by Gurgaon, and the latter should witness no water supply erosion. High rise flats in Gurgaon poles apart, and hope the residents have sweet time and not tied in day to day knot. M2K Olive Greens, Pareena flats can be sighted, and hope here confessions at some point of time candid. Here thoughts on Air Deccan Flight I took from Madras (Now Chennai) in March 2005 after returning from Tirumala, and there was no monopoly of sorts, and govt during that time not tied in blackmailing plans-cum-plots.

Unscheduled Stoppage At Garhi Harsaru

Locomotive of GEMA positioned at Garhi Harsaru station. The unscheduled stoppage at Garhi Harsaru for unknown reasons despite students taking tuition. Here thoughts on Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu Province) and West Bengal, and some in these sections hope to reap a rich haul. After Ichhapuri station there is sighting of second rail track reminding some guys railways have the day to day running knack. Thoughts here on Ajmer Dargah as well which I visit with none to come across as a rebel. Pansari cha (tea) instant premix offered as part of snacks is too sweet, let it be moderate irrespective of train fleet. Annoucement onboard of train passing through neutral section, there would be temporary suspension of overhead electric supply, with no thoughts on Ericsson. Ajaraka comes at 4.40, Harsauli at 4.55. Sighting of Aravallis after 4.55, here the authorities better watch out for illegal mining, and those doing so after dining. 

Reaching Alwar, Reaching Jaipur, Jodhpur; Train To Jodhpur Way Back In 1977-78

Alwar comes at 5.12, Bandikui at 5.48. Dausa at 6.05. The convoy stopped at Jatwara for no reasons. Thoughts on SVBC (Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel) and Tirumala In Andhra Pradesh Province where people are blessed with peace innings. The train commute to Jaipur from Delhi Cantt can be done done under three hours as the convoy was stopping after every 15 to 20 minutes chase thereby hitting the base. And here it took four hours with enough moments of pause. The dinner from Base Kitchen Jaipur is piping hot, and something to relish in a nation that has hamlets going by the name Oasis. With series of underpasses right after Ajaraka Station, it is to the benefit of commuters who gain lessons on weather from day tutors. After Jaipur Phulera comes at 8, Makrana 8.40, Degana Junction 9.12 with enough water in the well. Train personnel Mr Gagan from A S Sales helpful enough in getting the tea as sitting for straight eight hours can be no fun which most agree. Meet onboard Mr Gautam Jain settled in Jodhpur with his son working as CA in Pune getting clients even from distant Hapur. Mr Gautam Jain used to take train from Old Delhi Station in 1977-78 which used to leave at 6.30 PM with fare in 8 reservation coaches at Rs 100, and there were 12 unreserved coaches whose passengers were expected to reside after reaching their destinations in varied lodges. The train would reach Jodhpur the next day at 6.30 in the morning with none yawning. Meet as well Mr Paras Yadav having gained B Tech degree from IIT Jammu and working for PIDILITE Fevicol in Jodhpur. Perhaps toying with the idea to write CAT (Common Admission Test) for pursuing MBA in Indian Institutes Of Management (IIMs) at a time when the nation is seeking a drive to keep space safe for pedestrian movement. Pedestrians have a right to take a march out if space meant for them is encroached, and from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer none should poach.

This ride consuming all of eight hours was meant to reach a destination known for tourist attractions with visitors coming in multiple and working for brand Apple. This ride came on a day when travellers across length and breadth heaved a sigh of relief with no untoward movement seen in Sir Creek.

When Train Ticket Through Rail Site Could Not Come Through In New Delhi, A City Where Public Transport Is Blue

When Train Ticket Through Rail Site Could Not Come Through In New Delhi, A City Where Public Transport Is Blue

All prepared to gain online ticket, I ventured into rail site well before the promising hours of 10 could begin, hoping the train ticket would come with ease, and this endeavour would be a breeze. Well before 10 AM was to set in I was thrilled that there were 24 vacant slots in Tatkal Category for a train going to West India where weather is comparatively less harsh for unending hours. As I waded into rail site after logging in, message repeatedly came booking for this class has not started and make attempt after some time. 10 AM had truly set in, and yet the site was awash with message of no booking commenced in a nation where the north-south tensions don't look dense. After a wait of five minutes, I gained the famed opportunity to begin booking only to hit another roadblock when Aadhar Based Authentication had docked. Wait for these very few seconds the message came, and by the time this set of challenge was brought under the belt, the message came that seats are not available despite some carrying rail label, and having tea of the brand red label.

Left With No Other Option Than Window Ticket

Now the sole course left was to go for normal ticket, with an eye to get that prized lot where vacant seats for travel four days later was over and above 100 in a nation where tracks are saturated, and despite that infusion of high speed trains time and again asserted. Here after meeting all formalities when the ripe moment came to make payment, no forward movement could be made, and for the next five minutes I bided time, and the session came to an end, with this episode looking to be of high rent. This was a day when rail site irctc could be least visible in getting the deed done, and I was left with no other option than seek window ticket, and that too another day with another set of assumptions coming on a tray.

Keeping In Abeyance The Proposed Visit To Delhi Cantt

Keeping In Abeyance The Proposed Visit To Delhi Cantt

Having Dropped The Idea Of Visiting Delhi's Kashmere Gate, I as well had to keep in abeyance the proposed ride to Delhi Cantt where protesters have shelved the move to pitch their tent. Protesters probably won't gain a chance to raise their voice in Delhi Cantt as this is an Army Station with enough cushion. Protesters would have to rethink while on a mission to Delhi Cantt as vans and vehicles are frisked if carrying cash suggests an uptick. Protesters trooping as well into Jantar Mantar in the heart of Delhi less is known, as India is a nation flanked by Desert States and sand dunes. Sand dunes do get visitors in multiple, and right from Barmer to Jaisalmer, they are eager. These desert hideouts in prime need to check the crossings from  neighbouring spots irrespective of those residing and less revealing in yachts. 

Trade Ties With A Host Of Nations

Coming to Delhi Cantt with enough green sheet in and around perhaps illustrating it is freed from Delhi Traffic Heat no matter how visible are those with British Pound. Trade ties with British should be on a new pedestal including with Australia and New Zealand, the nations that preach peace and don't rant. Trade ties with nations in The Far East To African Nations Wishing Peace be tried with renewed momentum as there are no riders of $ 500 billion purchase which none can't gauge and keep pace. If ever visitors from these nations land in Delhi, the city traffic would be bothersome if one is locked in serpentine queue with little clue. Serpentine queue can be an irritant of sorts if one has to rush to work place or participate in sessions that would decide tennis fate. Tennis tourney in this city/country is set for a makeover as India would realise down the decade that this is one Sport that is watched by even those not commuting in land rover.

As outings in Delhi have been less and receding in the months gone by, the invitation to visit Middle Section Of City was in doldrum as pessimism defined Parliament proceedings bereft of logic innings. Parliament should dwell at length how Iran came to our rescue when there was voting in UN on Kashmir, and Iran at peace with itself should be the prayer with no fear.
