Road Travel Reminiscences – Delhi to Ajmer via Jaipur
So, we moved ahead and found the third jewel of this marvelous city, i.e., Hawa Mahal. Standing tall and illuminated, this Mahal had seen off the day of crowded markets and polluted vehicles. The Hawa Mahal told meтАж тАЬO Traveller! I was built for providing cool air and shelter. My structure was befitting the queens. Pollution is that I am smoking everyday and night, days after days, years after years and generations after generations.тАЭ I consoled him in my mind and said тАЬO worthy Palace! Soils made you and soils you would becomeтАж.The respect you get is the respect you deserve. Stand tall till your strength permitsтАЭ.
After meeting with the three jewels of this great city, we drove ahead towards the new township. The Janpath of Jaipur leads to the mighty building of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, the seat of power in democracy. It was almost 11 pm and we had to take rest for the journey next day. Still, I stopped in the middle of the Janpath. The building was trying to say something. It told meтАж тАЬO Travellor! I am the power today. DonтАЩt you agree? Or, dare not disagree.тАЭ I smiled in my mind and replied тАЬO worthy building! Come to me after 150 years. I will see you with pride and anoint you with my tears, if your power still remained intactтАЭ.
