We move around different places in an urge to know about
that place, its history, its past collection and various other prospects.
Visiting almost every place in Punjab, Uttaranchal, Uttarkhand, Haryana, Jammu
and Kashmir we chose to make our next visit towards Rajasthan. A suitable 3 day
holiday for my dad and my brothers made us to plan a trip to Jaipur, popularly
known as the “Pink City” by all. On the fine morning we started off to Jaipur
on a hired cab. Roaming around the city of New Delhi in a vehicle is always a
fun.
Moving out of New Delhi region we entered into the so called
“Millennium City” (i.e.) Gurgaon, Haryana. You could hardly find an area
without a skyscraper. Moving on with the journey it took us almost 4 hours to
reach the “Pink City”. As how we had imagined Jaipur to be, it wasn’t. I think it’s
the dirtiest city I have ever visited. It didn’t even have the look of being
the capital of the state. The city is entirely dirty, no sort of maintenance,
no proper traffic regulation, no road sense at all and to the extreme was the
Food. Even the smallest of dhabha in New Delhi would serve better food than it.
The only good thing about that place was the Royal Palace where the king’s
family still resides and the Jantar Mantar. Feeling so disappointed we wrapped
up the trip on the 2nd day itself.
P.S. It is referred to as “Pink City” because the Old Jaipur
is completely painted in somewhat reddish pink colour.
It is not at all worthy to refer Jaipur as the “Pink City” and
If you would ask me I would never suggest you a visit to Jaipur.
