The city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan

February, 2009
Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Five year ago, when I was supposed to pack my bag with books and notebooks to leave for my 8:40am lecture of Political Science in my college, I was dodging the thick fog on Chandigarh-Delhi Highway to reach Rajasthan. I had to meet my friend and switch cars at Kurukshtra. After driving for a day, and stopping at numerous tea shops to chat with local people, we reached Jodhpur.

For the foodies might already know this but even if you don’t, Jodhpur is famous for its Pyaz Kachori. It is so delicious, that an airline pilot had to face suspension to get them.

Apart from the delicious food, the city is famous for its blue coloured houses around Mehrangarh Palace.
