Street Wedding



A street wedding literally in the middle of the road outside our hotel! 

Holiday Inn Jaipur Spicy Laundry

So by now i have a bag full of dirty laundry and decided to take a look at the Holiday Inns laundry charges, they also gave us a discount voucher, either way the prices were really reasonable! 

There was so much of clothes we had to request 3 laundry bags to fill them in, service was great they took it away in 4 minutes from leaving the sign on the door, or maybe someone pinched them who knows... 


The pressed and washed clothing arrived fresh and folded neatly, only the next day though did i realise some of my clothes went from a medium to a small or i had slept and awoken an ogre. Also I'm not sure what washing powder they used but all my clothes smelt like curry powder! Sigh! 


Now i know the only time i will use hotel laundry is when the cost of using the service is more than the cost of buying new clothes altogether! :) 

Pink Square


Pink Square is the shopping destination of hip, young and trendy. The youth would be seen dressed well with helmets in hand(those without helmets are cooler because they ride without one)

Cement & Turbans

This woman is cemented on to her seat! And her driver has a state of the art turban that doubles as a helmet...

"Rajus Social Responsibility"




Surprisingly I saw this rickshaw and not believing my eyes snapped away at his slogans.

Although I am not condoning this, the British as they usually do enjoy culture and heritage even if it means a reminder of their ancestors who slaughtered and butchered in order to plunder their way to the top(there are many such sites around the world that one could see this) in saying that I am certain this would make aware of both parties of their past ie. the torturous behaviour and the oppression faced by poor Indians. Unfortunately though this hasnt seemed to have ended as some of the oil rich countries are now the targets.

“dogs and foreigners not allowed in this cab” “only for my dear Indians” This type of wording is not a first though, history will show that in the past it read “dogs and Indians are not allowed” so this was actually brought upon by the British, well done for teaching the Indians this!
