This is my second Instagram series on Rajasthan. I did this second series as it is not possible to do justice to this state that offers culture, heritage, wildlife, landscapes, slice-of-colourful-life, and more. #Rajasthan #India #culture #travel #travelure #traveler #desert #colours #Instagram #incredibleindia - Instagram Roundup - Rural Rajasthan Rhapsody - Travelure ©

Flying Through The Sands

As we climbed and entered the gap, the sight left us spellbound. We found ourselves on a small hillock that curved the way golfers would call 'dog-leg right'. On both sides of this mound, there lay a grey-ish amoeboid water body. The banks farther away from us were carpeted with thousands of birds constantly buzzing around in a slow Brownian motion! - Flying Through The Sands - Travelure ©

Tuscaloosa. If there ever was a word with a truly Native-American twang, it is this! While our world may have many Delhis and New Yorks, it has only one Tuscaloosa. No wonder their Tourism Department calls it the #OneAndOnly. #Alabama Black Warrior Alert - Tuscaloosa - Travelure ©
Colourful drawings of kingfisher and mynah birds juxtapose nature on this urban landscape - The City Is Their Canvas

The City Is Their Canvas

This kick-started a new revolution! News about the Shahpur Jat street art transformation spread like wildfire. The best thing about this movement was that it provided a new canvas to budding talents in this arena. Street art soon became de rigueur in many South Delhi circles.
