| Re: Rajasthan - Padharo Mhare Des Day 06 28th December 2011 Bishnoi - Jodhpur We picked up some terracotta souvenirs and returned to the resort. The way back   Horse Power vs Camel Power  Terracotta Birds nest  Our cute deer was waiting for us  Jr. PPG ran towards the deer and petted her for a long while  The Deer Seemed to love her company  Jr. PPG unlike most other kids, is very calm when it comes to pets. She kind of loves them all and respects them and give them their space, a quality which I adore in her. My mom and sis used to say, her this quality is from me - who had 13 cats as pet at her age . They all used to sleep together on my bed, leaving me in taking a lot of cat fur and allergy that I even carry today.See the eyelashes -beautiful   Soon it was lunch time. After a light lunch we bid good bye to this wonderful place.  While exiting Bishnoi toward the main road, we saw this guy    continued... |

This is indeed a rare sighting, thanks for sharing Laluks. Oh and how about a snap of you with your thirteen musketeers! Quote:

| Re: Rajasthan - Padharo Mhare Des Quote:
Those days there were no cameras in the family to click all those beautiful moments. Photographs were a luxury then. I would have definitely been overjoyed had I got a picture of them today. The story goes like this, I one day on return from school saw a white kitten crying on the street. It was so tiny that her eyes were not even open. I took her and hid her in my tie to enter the house. My mom caught me and gave me a lot of advice about health issues and risks of taking her with me. I asked her only one question - If I study well and don't bother you with all those tension will you let me keep her? I was probably 10 years then. She saw my determination and just let me have her, but she took care to clean her up for me From that day on till next two years an amazing friendship began with the kitty. She gave birth to another 12 in the next years. But one by one all of them left on to find their life as they grew up. She was heart broken and one day without telling me she left on a journey from which she never returned. I understood the meaning of voidness in my life for the first time then. It was painful. | |
