It glitters and it’s gold

A sumptuous dining room wall
The blue-flowered dining hall in the former palace of the Maharaja of Bikaner. That’s brilliant gold leaf coating the walls. The room literally sparkles.
The palace is now a swank hotel. I didn’t stay there, but did have a fantastic meal. Gorged on lal maas, a fiery, wonderful mutton masala that’s a Rajasthani favorite.

Mujhe garam chai chahiye
By the pool [!] at a hotel in Bikaner; tea, served on a beat up wooden deck chair.

Mmmmm… camel

I'd take a bite...
I’m familiar with camel milk. However, I’ve never eaten camel.
I’d try. Maybe a camel tikka roll? Sounds divine.
Photo is the front of the beat-up fridge in our room in Bikaner. (Look, finally a photo from Rajasthan.)

Ok, this is just gross

Bikaner was bad for the teeth
When Joel was visiting last month, he and I had a little love affair with paan. Normally, it’s a special treat for me — because I know it’s a bad habit — and I have it maybe once a month. Well, Joel and I kinda went nuts and chewed the paan a few times a day.
The above shot comes from Bikaner, as we were about to board a bus. Needless to say, we each took window seats in the back and spat into the breeze.
It was all in the name of our latest music video project that has stalled in production as I don’t have a regular power source these days.
MOUNTAIN WATCH: I’ve been Sikkim four days have yet to see Kanchenjunga (or really anything other than the Himalayan foothills) because a near-constant layer of fog and mist has given me a visibility ceiling of maybe 1,500 feet. I’ll keep you posted, but I’m probably going to have to get a lot closer. Pelling, maybe next month.
