Now in Jodhpur and staying at an old, small, tall place next to Gulab Sagar "Rose Ocean" or Lake but is actually a 6 or so acre stone water tank.
The city is filled with massive forts on all the hills, such as this one just north west of the tank.
The Imams seem not to coordinate their Adhan (call to prayer) as the loudspeakers will blare out the call from one mosque and then 5 minutes later from another and 5 minutes late another, etc. But despite the generally low fidelity sound system the sound coursing over the city sets off an almost trace-like stillness.
And a few stealth photos of people:
Now, I do the luxury of air travel (quite cheap here by US standards) to hop 2000 miles south, from Mughal cuisine with its strong middle eastern influence with naan and thick gravies to the south with its massive, paper thin dosa (rice and dahl crepe) and uttapam (same batter as dosa but in the evening so it is thicker, which is spread out like pizza crust and topped with veggies)
