When I first thought of writing on the subject – Offbeat Destinations in India, I had somewhat structured my blog in my mind - picking one place from every corner of incredible India that I have visited, writing about it; Keeping it simple without making it too lengthy.  But as I started writing today, there was this incessant rain outside my huge French windows overlooking the Jaipur city.  I hoped to get drenched in the rain, fill my lungs with the pleasing moisture-heavy breeze and inhale the smell of wet earth. The monsoons in Rajasthan are laden with an indescribable feeling of joy. The earth bursts into shades of green, the aroma of bhutta pakoras (Corn dumplings) waft out of every house, the immense relief from the hot summer is visible on every face.
