amer, city palace, jalmahal, howa mahohal

revisited those fortes after 13 yrs. least impressed to say the least. finally went to bapu bazar near howa mohal. it was crowded local market. good for shopping. Time to say good bye to jaipur. now another bad news our howrah jodhpur express is late by 5 hrs.
this is the worst train so far as the punctuality is concerned.

Rajasthan 26.12.2017

Yesterday we left Jaisalmer at 6am, and arrived Jaipur at 7 30pm. It was such along journey by car. Hotel Marriott is active star hotel where you have hardly anything to complain one just gets overawed.
The buffet dinner at night contained innumerable items and it was difficult to find which item we should eat. The bill nearly gave me a heart attack. It was  rs 7432 .
Today we went to workshop at 9 am. It was good but showing mostly the advanced lap surgery.

In workshops generally families are not allowed. But later on I learnt that they are allowed so I sent the driver to take them.
So much of items were there that we were finding it difficult to decide what to eat and what not.

Finally we  I came back at 5 30 pm.

Rajasthan 24.12.2017

we checked out from hotel at 10 am and went to golden forte. A guide went after us and we reluctantly hired him. Later on we realised it is impossible to tour golden temple without a guide. He was a perfect gentleman ,guided us properly told history showed all the parts clicked some beautiful picture from best spots. Then we  took us to a stone shop own by Bengali. He came here afyer seeing the  cinema সোনার বাংলা, then opened a shop here and never returned. people call him মুকুল who never returned back. we purchased few things from his shop and clicked a selfie with him.
then we took lunch in a resturant (chandan shree) outside fort.
After that we saw mandir palace. it was not impessive, so we left for Sam dunes.
Royal desert camp was impessive. The camel ride was totally entertaining. we talked to বাবা over video call and showed the desert. Aheli was totally thrilled though she was a little worried about the camels.
on return from dunes we were offered snacks and tea followed by local cultural programme which totally enjoyable. After that dinner was also impessive. Thoug we didnot try ডাল বাটি চুরমা this time.  but  i took "gatte ki sabji".  But i didnot like it. After sunset temperature was going down. with wind blowing it was shivering cold. we entered our desert camp  and tried to fall asleep as our plan is to set out for jaipur early morning.

rajasthan 23 12.2017

we had breakfast in the morning. then left for Tanot Mata ki Temple. It was 120 kms away. There was lot of wind mill on the way. roads are clean but but roller coaster type, moving up and down.
tanot mata temple is maintained by BSF.
It was famous because during war of 1965, about 3000 bombs fired at this temple and none exploded. I prayed for my good health and rik's success in exam.
Then we went to longewalla.It is the place where indo pak war took place in 1971, and our braveheart made the enemy bite the dust. we warched a mini cineme about the war also.
Then we went to BadaBagh. it contains cenotaphs of various royals of rajasthan.
good for clicking photos etc.
then we tried to vist selim sing ki havelli. we saw it from outside, it was not impressive.
Then we went to Gadsiar lake, it was  big lake with  boating facility and nothing else.

rajasthan 22.12.2017

we got down from train at  2.15 pm. Found the driver.  we found the janata sweets.bought "piyaj ki kachuri" and samosa. Then went to priya resturant for lunch.
after that it was five hour journey to jaisalmir.
google map helped a lot.
we found "chouki dhani" a four star hotel. Rooms are big. but two rooms are not side by side. i had to shout a bit before a proper arrangements were done. we dined at night. Buffet was in the package. So it was ordinary  at best.
Rik was given single seperate room. He seemed happy.

12307

Train is running late by 7 hrs. This is worst train I have ever boarded. Only Tanot Mata can save me. Otherwise all my plan programmes will be in soup.

12307 hwh Ju express

so far punctuality is considered this train is worst. it always runs late by 3 hrs. today it is late by 5 hrs. train stuff told me thain actually reaches jodhpur everyday. otherwise i thought it may not  reach. it is so slow and stops more , moves less. food, other things are avg .
i drank "baghbakri" tea in the train. it is eliachi flavoured tea and nothing else.

c) on prolonged walking no pain.
d) always pain decreases on rubbing the chest wall.

Rajastha tour

Sunday

Yesterday I enjoyed a total holiday. No chamber ,no operation ,no journey to Kolkata. Absolutely nothing. I really cannot remember the last time I enjoyed such Hassel free holiday.
Anyway I shall be going to Rajasthan for conference. So  I shall be terribly busy in next few days.  As usual I shall be updating everything in my blog.

Islampur sd hospital

After 14 yrs I came to Islampur on a summon. I went to hospital . Lot of things changed. Binoy bera and Nikhil Bhakta are two people of my time  are still there. And  Actually I took hospitality of Dr B Bera. Met Bhakta in a Nursing Home. Met Bridges Babu of drugs India. He took a little time to recognise me but ultimately recognised. Also met Chandra Sekhar. He became little fatty. Everybody said I have lost a lot of weight.

a seat offered in train

today i boarded  sahid express at bolpur. Immediately a passenger whom i couldnot recognise stood up from his seat and offered it to me. i refused . but he insisted.  so i had to sit. probably i have done something good to someone.
