Exploring Jaipur

Early morning was great to go for a little walk through the town, less traffic, less busyness...and you can stop, notice and appreciate things :) Jaipur is an amazing city which encapsulates all the things I love about India...it's an assault to all your senses, which can be both invigorating or depressing depending on how you want to look at it. You can spend hours, days, weeks wandering through the small streets here (however with a 4yr old in this heat we are lucky to get an hour), which are filled with life, character and the rawness of the human condition and realities of the world we live in. From the people (usually men) on the pathway drinking their morning chai, the men and women doing back breaking work shifting building rubble/materials, the lady selling her pile of veges on the street corner, to the kids playing cricket in pretty much a waste dump. I would have loved to take photos of done of this.. But some things I think are better photographed in our memories :)Les mer
