On the road (Agra, Jodhpur, Pushkar)

India brings too many stories and not enough time to write about them.

So far we made it to Pushkar, a charming small town with a hippie-hindu atmosphere. We don’t have plenty of time here cause tickets to next city are already purchased. Anyway we are relaxing and curing cause we both have a little cold after crazy New Year’s Eve party (it was wicked by the way)


We spent previous days in Agra and Jaipur, city of contrasts where cows are passing by in front of Lacoste store. First take a look at new photos from Delhi in the previous post, than see that Indians can be also rich.


Taj Mahal, highlight of every trip to India, is amazing without any doubt. This extravagant monument shows how crazy guys can be if they fall in love. Taj was made by Shah Jahan as a memorial of his wife Mahal in the XVII century.


In a small city called Fatehpuhr Sikri I’ve found my “Afghan Girl”. The photo below shows an Indian version of a famous National Geographic’s photo. Although I would be cheating if I write that I found that girl in a crowd, I’m proud of this shotJ. The truth is that she wanted me to take a photo and than she asked for baksish. That’s a typical style of bagging in India.


During our trip we’ve met cool travelers from Australia, Italy and the States. Today we take together a night bus through a desert to Jaisalmer on the northwest of the country.

Congratulations on the "Indian girl" photo and all the other pictures!!! And on all what we can follow and read about your Indian experience. "Inhale" all the Indian beauty and fascinating uglyness... (but not the microbes and parasites...).
Good luck and take care
Magda
