Visit to Udaipur and meeting with some interesting people

In last few days, I have many interesting people and visited some interesting places.  Here I am writing about them with an intention to document my meeting with them or places I visited.

First in the list is set of people whom I have met in Pathak hospital Agra. It includes some nursing, pharmacy and sweeping staff. They were people working for more than 20 hours a day, back to back duties. Some of them had been working for nearly 36 hours continuously. It was amazing to meet such people. It helped me realize how fortunate I am to enjoy such a lavish life. I started appreciating my own life a little more.

Second is a set of tourist places I visited in last week. It included a stay in Tak lake palace, visit to Delwara temple, a trip to Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh fort and fun time in Udaipur's Udai Vilas museum.

Few important pointers about the visit:
1. Taj lake palace is a beautiful place. We had wonderful time in there. If you are staying there, then it is recommended to completely devote your time to enjoy the beauty and hospitality of the place rather than wasting away your time in other locations.
2. Mount Abu is not so great. We did not explore the place enough. We stayed in government cottages which we found very costly. There is no worthwhile item to buy from Mount Abu except some wooden items. 3 major points in Abu are Delwara temples, Guru Shikhar peak and Chacha museum. I feel we could have explored options of safari. For food Sankalp restaurant near Nakki lake was a good option. Some other local joints around it were not so great. I did not even like the ice cream offered in there.
3. Ranakpur was a good place to visit. It was similar to Delwara temples. It is located within wild life sanctury. This made it more scenic and beautiful. However day time is more advised for this place. It is not a great place for night stay.
They serve Jain food in bhojan shala which was ok.
4. Kumbhal Garh was also a great place to visit. The fort was amazing. It is a must visit place.
One can buy Dohar shawls which have healing effect for pain. The saris made of sitafal, and rose were also good but they were bit costly.
5. Udai Vilas museum was infotainment but little over priced.
The Oladar cafe outside Udai Vilas was good. We also enjoyed food at Traditional Khana. However food at Celebrity mall was pathetic. The Palkhi restaurant inside the palace is less preferred over Oladar.

Overall it was fun visit. We had good time together.
