JAIPUR: A COMPLETE FOOD DELIGHT!!
Jaipur is a city of royalty, a land which has served rich food to the
Kings and queens of the royal family. The imperial kitchens of Rajasthan
used to employ 'Khansamas' (the royal cooks) to make the best
gastronomy. The Pink city still serves the best delicacies to its
residents and tourists. If you are planning a trip to Jaipur, leave your
worries aside as the city has myriad number of restaurants. Almost all
the restaurants serve every type of cuisine, so you need not to think
about what to eat.
Jaipur is one of the most remarkable cities of India. This is not only because
of its vibrant culture and heritage, but also because of its diverse and mouth
watering cuisine. The different kinds of food available in the numerous restaurants
will surely answer your question of what/where to eat in Jaipur.Speaking of what/where to eat in Jaipur, you will surely be spoilt for choice.

variety, you are sure to get what you want over here.
Suvarna Mahal(Rambagh Palace Hotel, Jaipur)

Peacock Rooftop Restaurant
With this one, Jaipur
surely gets more to offer beyond the terracotta pink and the fine
Mahals. For the much addicted ‘Paharganj’ lovers, Peacock Rooftop
Restaurant, Jaipur just can't be missed. The restaurant has been running
for almost a decade now but remains less explored.Overlooking Hathroi Fort – and most of Jaipur – this multilevel
eclectic decor rooftop restaurant takes you away from the city's
hush-rush and lets you leap into your own world of thoughts. With an
extraordinary peacock canopy epitomizing the roof, custom-made flaked
iron junk and bright golden glows, the place surely brings in the feel
good factor.
The restaurant interestingly houses two rooftops - sit on the lower
roof and share a good travel tale with the hippies, the bag packers and
the little less Indians that usually occupy the space. The upper roof
brings in a completely different romantic Rajasthani feel with cane
chairs and the very own terracota pink walls. The fusion is what makes
Peacock a must visit. The restaurant takes this fusion to its menu too.
Choose from the Mughlai, Continental and Chinese cuisine all through the
day or pick up an interesting breakfast spread if you an early riser.
Offering too many food options, the restaurant still manages to keep the
authenticity in place.And if food is not on agenda, the place also houses a small hassle
free silver shop for you. Girls must peep in for those fancy Rajasthani
trinkets and keep the memory intact. If you are alone, pick up a good
company from the old classics housed in the mini library. Take a walk
around the place to discover the rugged hills, the Fort and the
traditional houses that surround the place.

Criticism- take it, eat it and flush it out!!!
'WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME , IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS'. What a powerful message this line conveys, isn't it?? If what I do is right in my opinion, then what others think about it ,need not bother me a bit. I should be bothered about my HEART'S and MIND'S approval to my actions and not whether others approve of it or not .It's my life and it's only me who knows what is right for me and what ain't. Somebody has very rightly said that 'LEARN TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN YOUR REPUTATION AND CHARACTER'. Your reputation is what people think about you, while your character is what you REALLY are. Generally reputation is built by what we do to impress others .In a way its good for one to have a good reputation.But if we become obsessed with this REPUTATION term, we might lose ourselves as a person and gets stressed and burdened by the thought that WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT US. Don't you think that its the CHARACTER that matters more than the REPUTATION. To evolve as a better human being, we need to be focused upon building good values and beliefs. People will think what they want, sometimes it will be good and sometimes it will be bad as well. You can't make them think your way...accept it.Building a god reputation is good to an extent but not to an extent of getting obsessed with it.Don't try to control it , because you just can't. In a democracy of 100 people, if 51 out of those 100's choose a person for the post of Prime minister,he will become the prime minister, irrespective of the 49 votes against him. So, resistance will always be there, human has a nature to express himself..be it negatively or positively. It's you who has to decide whether you gonna let this resistance ruin you or help you evolve as a stronger person. Rumor are going to be there all around you in many shapes and forms, you have to learn to live and deal with them.
Facts have it that whenever someone tries to take an initiative, or do something against the league, people/ society /family are bound to TALK ABOUT IT. They will leave no chance to criticize that person's effort because somewhere or the other they realize that they themselves are not capable of doing what THAT SOMEONE is doing. I recently came across a beautiful quote that ' THE FEW WHO DO, ARE THE ENVY OF MANY WHO ONLY WATCH'. People are jealous when they see someone doing better than them and they express this jealousy in different ways and one of the most common methods of doing so is... SPREADING RUMORS, CRITICIZING the ones who they envy .Always remember that if you find people talking about you, behind your back, it means that your life is definitely more interesting and better than theirs. .It means that you are way ahead of them.So, learn to be comfortable about criticism and take it in your stride.
LIFE BEYOND THE COMFORT ZONE !!
Growth is an essential part of life. We are as good as DEAD when we do not grow. A person who does not grow with time is like a body who , although is living, but ain't experiencing the real meaning of life. The farther we run away from our fear, the more it's gonna control our life.And the harder we try to face it and beat it, the stronger we will become. When we set challenges or goals for ourselves, we should first of all try to overcome FEAR, SELF DOUBT and HESITATION. And when we are able to do all this, we are likely to achieve the set goals and thus we experience a feeling of SELF SATISFACTION. And this feeling of SELF SATISFACTION encourages us to set new goals for ourselves and help us evolve as a better, stronger and a successful person.So, step out of your comfort zone and help yourself evolve as a human being .Always remember that choices made by us today define our tomorrow. Please be careful in making those choices or one day when you are old with no hopes or aspirations left, you would realize that you had your chance to make your life better but you let go of it for nothing.
Life is not for SALE!!!
It is estimated that 1.2 million children are being trafficked every year. Trafficking of children means the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of children for the purpose of exploitation. i.e prostitution, forced labor or slavery, removal of organs, trafficking for early marriage, and recruitment as child soldiers. Human beings are not for sale, children are not for sale..Please take a stand against it.
Nature at its devastating worst!
why do women cry this much??
.jpg)
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she ...told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides." ♥ ♥
