A Trip in the Golden Sands - Part I (My First Air Journey)

Ghosh Finally! was my reaction when I got to know that I will be going to Rajasthan. For many years watching all those historical shows, let it be Maharana Pratap, Rani Padmawati, Jodha Akbar, I always wondered how beautiful the palaces would be in reality. Rajasthan the royal state in the north west of a country with such a great heritage is as beautiful as it is shown and said of. This tour was planned by my brother who lives in the United States and comes home once a year. Family Trip is mostly to spend time together and so was the main motive behind this Rajasthan trip. It was a special trip to me in many ways. The first and a memorable one being me traveling in an airplane for the first time. Yeah a simple yet happy memory to remember for time being. My parents were equally excited about the trip as how many times do our parents get to travel leaving their chores behind. The trip started from Aurangabad, the city I live in, which is also called as the Tourism capital of Maharashtra, on 19th of February and it was an early morning flight which would depart as early as 6 in the morning. Yeah 6 isn't early enough but getting ready, arriving at the airport and then waiting all takes enough time. Air India which is in headlines these days was the one by which we were travelling. These days private airlines are preferred more but for me it was not the case as it was my first time and all I wanted was to feel the experience of travelling in an airplane. My brother knew what it feels and thus had booked a window seat for me to enjoy the view of the sky and it was beautiful, just beautiful (attached a photo I took from my window seat). I had heard people say that it feels different when the plane takes off and I saw many people putting cotton buds in their ears and I thought it would be something thrilling but I didn't feel anything when the plane took off and it was a normal experience for me. The joy was of a different kind honestly as me in the sky and the land slowly being apart from me but it was beautiful. I understood that first air travels aren't overrated and they give some sort of an experience for sure. So that was the departure and in 50 minutes we were at Maharana Pratap Airport in  Udaipur, which is roughly 720 Kms from Aurangabad. This was it, finally me in the royal land of Rajasthan. This was all about the beginning of the trip and I will write about the rest soon. I love clicking photos of anything which I feel beautiful, so I attached the photo of the beautiful view from my window seat. Cheers!
