The stay in Jaisalmer; drip irrigation system and lake development
The stay in Jaisalmer began on a Friday, not routinely associated with acts that would drive you mad. As one steps out of station apart from a big cream of jeeps waiting to transport you to the lodge, there are autos as well near the entrance/exit points. One who has had the opportunity to visit this city in the past could seek an auto the next time to employ a search that is clinical and not cumbersome. As i checked into a lodge in the vicinity of Shiv road, the vicissitude of everyday life was as visible as the blue sky. After a quick shower lasting barely 10 minutes, a tea from the terrace of the adjoining lodge, belonging to the same group was invigorating. As you begin to explore the city and saints, among the stoppages are cooperative store (sahkari upbhokta bhandar) on shiv road and Azad Tailor, the shop on the way to Fort. As for the former, housing some of the best products in town at a reasonable price, the middleaged manager perhaps had thoughts on occasions on how to proceed with little leaks. As for Azad Tailor, putting the pant to perfect use was something he could do with dexterity despite the small space he had and the fan that was not too high. Proceeding to take grub from Chandan shree restaurant, the meals come for a tidy 90rs; one should resist attempts to take more rounds of the same as it could entail enduring digesting task. There are two eating points with the same name; one near Hanuman Chowk, the other near the fort.
Kanhaiya Lal of the Jaisalmer bus depot was warm enough to greet me on more than one occasion occasionally putting to rest the speculation that the bus depot may not be witness to huge traffic, still it has a charm of its own. The tea from the bus depot is energetic, with mild sprinkling of sugar and of a kind that is hard to find in the entire city.

on left before entering another gate a hoarding saying dear tourist don't hesitate
to book camel safari with us
after gate there is dussehra chowk , there are four different lanes
As for cannon points
kotripara cannon point
chogan para cannon point
vyaspara cannon point
Vyaspara cannon point
Going towards vyaspara first comes hanuman juice centre. A little later from hanuman temple turn left, go further and you reach bellisima cooperative store. After some minutes as you have reached a cannon point you see below jodhpur computer sansthan , hotel raj palace(the staff of Raj Palace is wonderful).
Near hari om jewellers is city view point. From here windmills can be seen far and further. Right below is sbi atm, again jodhpur computer sansthan can be seen from here.
For chogan para from dussehra chowk the lane is most clean and hospitable. From dussehra chowk to chogan para up to the point where it is etched internet burn your cd with digital camera, the passage is wide and good. On way to chogan para is moti palace. Below is raj hero online, movie centre.
City mired in sandstone
On way to a cannon point where you come across little tibet restaurant , the city mired in sandstone is widely visible followed by windmills on left and right.
From another cannon point from where the city looks to be mired in sandstone, with the area between homes with sandstone and windmills a little greenery can be seen. Irrigation if revived can be helpful. In the distant is a water tank and cell towers too can be seen.
The message etched on jasalmer fort may be to do with its somewhat vulnerable standing. Som, which some suggested is around 50kms, could not have warnings of this nature. Sand dunes with cottages spread out could be a sight to transport oneself for sometime. But there could be challenges coming from Som and beyond. Missions may not have their offices or some may have plans to pitch in later. As for Jaisalmer Josh the fort of the mid 80s looked more splendid and solid, rules not thrown to wind to hurt its foundation. Power and water connections looked timid to not throw up a challenge. Sewage pipes have taken a hit, the streets wide enough to let nature bloom have been replaced with tiny passages, commercialisation raising its pitch to pose a challenge to the famed fort and its cannon points. As of now cannon points look sturdy. Corrective action if one assumes could have been set in motion way back in mid 80s. Meeting guides working inside the fort, they spelt the energy the fort brings unmindful of the strength and valour the fort has been deprived of. A synergy to keep the fort going and the foot soldiers tapping would have to be found.
Lake near the bus depot
Relocation one is not talking about. If ever the stay in the fort during night is banned and tourists are taken on a tour of the fort and brought back the same day, the lake-development in the area near bus depot or in the bus depot with the bus depot being shifted elsewhere could be one of the options. Or raising a tower/structure in the area meant for bus depot from where one could view the fort partially could be some of the options to keep the fort from giving in to the unwarranted burden brought on it. There are enough vacant space in and around the bus depot so raising a lake here or a tower/structure there can be deflty tried to view the fort from outside. Bus depot need not be shifted far as vacant lands abound in the area.Outside the fort it has been spared from the spectacle of structures raised illegally that is hurting the people and the city at large. There is no unbearable heat on account of illegal structures that aims to hurt the sanctity of the place. The heat is more to do with the desert zone the place is in. The different lodges that i visited in and around Shiv Road have been brought with a clarity that does not disturb peace and harmony.
Drip irrigation system
As for the train ride from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer, a large number of people deboarded at Phalodi junction, with a view to get employment. Between Phalodi and Pokhran, there are stretches of land that is being put to use through drip irrigation system. The drip irrigation system could be extensively used as there are huge patches of land not put to any use. As for those talking about Barmer vis-a vis Jaisalmer , the oil discovery may have spawned emergence of malls and multiplexes in Barmer but that is no barometer of success. Jaisalmer has been spared the malls and mulitiplexes and it should remain that way. The pollution is also under control. Shared autos are a pleasure . As for employment a development of lake here or a camel safari (mind you, camel safari alone may not bring in the traffic) there could be tried. There could be occasions when dwindling tourists could be a cause for alarm. A lake development here and building of tower (one would have to climb stairs to reach the top of the tower) there from where the fort could be viewed from outside during night. Dwindling tourist number shouldn't cause concern, attempt should be to keep the fort from the unwarranted pressure it is faced against.
