Living the desert dream ...

Couple of years back , we took a road trip to Rajasthan, it was fun trip for 6 days. We had a chance to stay  at Khimsar Sand dune resorts , beautiful setting and beautiful cottages. Quiet a surreal experience to be staying in dessert.  A must visit if you ever happen to be in that part of the world. Sharing some photos of that stay....

I am jealous of Madame President …

.............For she has the best garden I have ever seen. This Sunday I finally made it to Mughal Garden at Rashtrapati Bhawan and man what a sight !!! Despite being part of 50000+ crowd ( we do are billion plus people country), it was a treat to walk in those garden. It’s huge and very well maintained. Peonies in full bloom and were a total delight. Rose garden was a little bit of disappointment as the flowers were not in full bloom, what with out of season rain & cold (yes weather god ..could you please make it warm for  holi, for we do like to play with wet colors)

I digress ..so the garden is amazing , I can imagine sitting there in crisp winter morning and having a cup of tea or some thandi lassi in summer evening . Unfortunately cameras were not allowed (no mobile, electronic car key, hand bag, water bottle etc) so  I cant share some beautiful pictures from the visit ..but if you have not visited so far, do make it a point to go , its quiet a retreat in middle of city.
