The ride from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur
The ride from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer had winding tracks with a special mention of Phalodi station. A query on why so many people deboarded elicited that it has to do with employment. Summers have been hard, there have been fewer rains in the areas we were travelling. Perhaps Phalodi retained some shine as far as jobs went. In Jaisalmer as well, the discussions centred around the dwindling employment opportunities and how farmlands are in distress. Left Jaisalmer on a Monday at 1.50.
Having stayed in Jaisalmer for four days, with Friday and Monday spent on cancelling a confirm ticket and seeking a new one. It were the autos that proved handy in accessing the station and the place of stay. In Jaisalmer you can hire autos which are a treat to travel in as most of them are run by locals not charging huge. A special mention may be made of tiptop taylor and Hukumchand, the auto man who took me to the Jaisalmer bus station.
Left Jaisalmer at 1.50 on a Monday. One can sight near the roundabout near nagap palika parishad office, which occasionally has a fair collection of people, who wish to undertake journeys that could fetch them employment. Going past army public school around 2.10 somewhere before or later a board shows bikaner 315 kms. As the bus made its way came across a hoarding of cool beer and english wine. Not to miss the point the road here is winding and strong. Somewhere here basanper is shown 3kms away.
Sighting first railway crossing
At 2.16pm jodhpur is shown 258kms, pokaran 84 kms and philodi 140 kms. We reach Jaisalmer byepass at 2.20 pm followed by Chandan at 2.35. The first railway crossing comes at 2.47. Reach Lathi at 2.55. At 3pm jodhpur is 215 kms. Reach chacha at 3.20. At 3.29 the second railway crossing comes and 11 minutes later we are in Pokaran. In Pokaran delhi ki mushoor thandi shikanji cart can be seen on side of the road. From here jodhpur is 175 kms.
A 4.30 we reach Dechu, break for snacks and leave in 10 minutes. At 5pm jodhpur is shown 104 kms and fifteen minutes later we reach 54 mile. At 5.35 comes balser and around 6.45 we reach jodhpur, and it takes over 30 minutes to reach the bus stand. The time the bus took to cover the outer limits of the city to bus station shows the expansion of the city with fewer inclination to keep it green. Perhaps the earlier period would have seen a city much in thrall. From here the preferred mode to travel to Ajmer would have been a shared taxi. The Jodhpur bus stand doesn't bring good tidings, cleanliness and discipline is something in short supply.
Leave jodhpur at 9pm, reach Jatt or a place with that name around 11.20pm followed by a railway crossing at 12am. Swift and pacy is the response of the staff manning the railway crossing. Beawar comes at 12.30 and we reach Ajmer at 1.40am. Against not to be appreciated conduct by a bus staff member, here in Ajmer this time things look much under control. If honest attempts are made to have a share taxi counter next to the bus stand in Jodhpur, perhaps passengers who wish to travel towards Ajmer and beyond could avail them. The ride from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur looking dignified but the one after that illustrating the travails of travelling.
In Ajmer go past madar gate and stay in a lodge near Dargah. The lodge is inside lane and the floor above stores every possibility for peace to prevail. After putting clothes to dry, hit the bed around 3am and i am off the bed by seven. Tea from another inside lane is good. A visit to Dargah is amidst additions being made to the sanctum sanctorum in the form of marble. Perhaps the previous order looked to be more strength-giving. THe marble addition could be something that some would debate. Later hire a cycle rickshaw and reach the station.Amidst sightings in Ajmer are
calcutta gift
kachodi from azad kachodi centre run by azad kumar chaurasiya.
Take some Kachodis from him and consume some during the ride from Kolkata station to Delhi.Here the rickshaw i engaged went with the tide and the man looking to be fairly simple.All in all the stay in Ajmer this time was wonderful.
