Finally i reach 26 years old. I swear to god that every year i feel like i'm at least a year or 2 behind myself. Today i'm in Mandawa. A small town in Rajasthan about 6hrs drive south of Dehli if you are sucicidal. Our driver was. We played chicken with every single car, motorbike, camel and bus that came our way on the potholed road/highway. It was so surreal but for some reason i justified it all because we were doing it the local way?...and this was how they all drove?
This morning, we visited some beautiful Havalei's (houses) that in their day would have been the most opulent homes in the world. Each Havaeli has around 20 rooms and is richly decorated with hundereds of frescoes depicting the lives of their deities. Our accomodation is also in a famous Havalei and it honestly feels like i've stepped back in time...It is all stone, highly decorated with tiny windows, open rooftop where we done by candlelight, large courtyards with reclining chairs and bourginvilla flowers and vines......gorgeous.....
