It’s been years thought in my mind that to go Rajasthan and meet the dear ones. At last after 13 years, I got a chance to see.

I landed in Jodhpur, I was waiting and so much excited to see the Didi as she was also residing in the Jodhpur. But, excitement went to vain when I realized that she is not in the city. But, glad to see the Didi’s husband.

and it’s great to see Mehrangarh Fort. What a beautiful place to visit. I always wonder how can humans built this kind of places. Modern day humans can never build this kind of structures with that lasting ability of decades.

And my biggest takeaway from Rajasthan trip is how to take photos. Realized, how pathetic I am, with taking and posing for photos.

And in the next morning, I went to Pachpadra. Where JNV and Mendy Bhavya is located. Had a great reception by Bhavya and met another JNV seniors whom studied with Mendy bhai and the brothers said that they had an idea to open CNG station in Pachpadra in JNV times as there are no CNG stations nearby. Now, they opened.

How determined they are with their idea.

And in the night, I went to see HPCL refinery which they are building in a larger scale. Pachpadra fortunes were changed after coming this project.

So, huge!!

After two days, I went to see the JNV. I realized that, all of the Andhra students got holidays and went to home.

School got changed a little.

After 3 days, I left Pachpadra. A place where I always wanted to come. Glad to meet Suresh and Vikram bhayya.

I reached, Siwana. Birthplace of Ganpat. He and Mendy bhai are the ones who has the great influence on me with regarding books and literature. Some thing, I always indebted towards them. Glad to see the fort and temple and meeting new people.

Amazed, how Siwana fort got captured by Aurangzeb and pond where women had Johar during fort capturing period. It literally gave me chills.

I had to go, Udaipur next day to meet Mahendra bhayya unfortunatley he is not there. Got a chance to roam around it.
It’s very hard to define the beauty of the city. It’s apt title for why it’s called “City of Lakes”.

After the all years, seeing the below pic. I somehow amaze, how much Vijay got changed in these years. ( And That’s Mehanji Sir and Aravind Bhayya in the pic along with me on my birthday)

Astonishing!
