Jaipur - To Tell A Tale #10

After a 6-hour trip on his faithful companion, Abu (the elephant), Ranjit arrived on the crowded street of Jaipur. He couldn't get used to the fuss of the merchants in Jaipur. The heat of the afternoon made the clothes sticky. After giving water to Abu with his bucket; Ranjit took the opportunity to take a comforting masala chai in the market. Finally he came to the business of Madhur, footwear manufacturer, in the old part of Agra.

"Dear long lost friend, Ranjit. Welcome, come on in. You can try on the shoes you like."

"I only want some traditional juttis, I come for the wedding of my brother's daughter", answered Ranjit

"For Ganesh! What a pleasure! A wedding. I will give you the best I have at a good price "

After haggling the price enough, Ranjit came to a good agreement for his shoes.

At nightfall, before going to his brother's house, Ranjit decided to bring some snacks: rasgullas, sandesh, papad and chapati (Indian bread).

Ranjit hoped that his niece would like the wool pashmina he had made. Reddish, like the one he wore.

Tomorrow would be a long day ...
