The place sure has an eye for taste.  Soveniour  Turbans, Tuk Tuks    Emblem?  Dilapidated Door  Scary Stairs!!  continued... |

| Re: Rajasthan - Padharo Mhare Des Day 05 27th December 2011 Jaisalmer - Pokhran - Bishnoi We reached Pokhran.  The nuclear site is anyways out of bounds. So never tried to figure that out. We were scared that this place could have active radiation - but that was just a scare. She kind of reminds me of a model  Kiddy Gang at Pokhran   I asked them to smile for the picture. But they just broke out laughing loud. Innocence still has its place in this world.     Some guys from Pokhran   continued... |

| Re: Rajasthan - Padharo Mhare Des Day 05 27th December 2011 Jaisalmer - Pokhran - Bishnoi We were greeted by two Deers freely roaming around in the resort. Kiddies were very very happy. Me too  Jr. PPG went behind them. She was very happy that she got to play with them. She was missing her pet Dashy, which we lost to a terminal cancer an year back.  Some pictures from Jr. PPG's Camera     The friendly Deer comes into our hut for tea  I could not resist myself. After all I too was missing my Dashy!  She went on chewing my ears  I felt quite happy and relaxed, and a feeling of free spirit came back to me after a long while. Thanks to the place! continued... |
