RAJASTHAN TRIP

16.08.14 : Ajmer

In the morning after early breakfast on the terrace, we drove back to Jaipur where we dropped Aruna & Usha,  on our way back to Ajmer.  We stopped at Sophia School & College. Visiting my school and college brought back old memories. It was Saturday afternoon n everything closed but could walk around school n college grounds. You felt great when one of the sisters remembered me by my name i.e.after 45 years. Had lunch at my friend Aroona's family home at Bagh Cottage. Her sister Nalini took care of us and also met her younger sister Beena & her husband, both doctors.  In fact parents & all 5 sister of Aruna are doctors .  Visited Dargah Sharif and it was crowded and jampacked.  Luckily got introduced to one of the Kadims  over there through Nalini and we were able to enter the shrine inspite of the crowd.  Then walked from there to Annasagar, a lake surrounded by trees having bats and migratory birds like herons, cranes etc nesting and lots of fishes being fed with corns and walked  around the city.  Stayed in homestay "Mayo Villa" nice place with good care n food.
