| Re: Rajasthan - Padharo Mhare Des Day 12 3rd January 2012 Jaipur We waited for our flights at the airport    Sprited one and family flew back to Mumbai, and we flew back to Bangalore. We were back in our homes past mid night. Dumped the luggage and hit the bed. Next day we all stayed back at home and rested from a hectic travel. Thus a travel to Rajasthan was done with Family and friends and gets down the memory lane. The End |
