Rabri – dessert I think of whenever the train stops at Abu Road Railway Station. I had it once during the Mount Abu visit. Delicious indeed.
Update
During my recent 2014 visit to Mount Abu, I again had Rabri at the Abu Road railway station. Cost – Rs. 20/-. The sweet tooth I have for sure. Upon query, I was told outside Abu Road railway station there are a few good sweet shops selling excellent Rabri. Will try next time for sure.
1. Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji reached Ajmer via Marwar. Here Guru Nanak Dev ji met Muslim Pir Chishti Sahib’s disciples Alauddin and Samsudin and had knowledgeable discussions, and from here Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj reached Pushkar city in 1511 AD, where he had knowledgeable discussions with great sages and preached the truth. Baba Ji ordered that human service is the biggest service, have mercy on living beings, build a Dharamshala, serve langar, where the passengers will be well, there you will be well. 2. Shri Guru Govind Singh Ji Maharaj reached Pushkar Raj in 1707 AD while on his way to Nanded and he halted at the bank of the lake which is known as Guru Govind Ghat, where Guruji along with the saints had a bath in the lake. 3. This Gurudwara was established by Saint Baba Lakha Singh Ji and Saint Baba Balwinder Singh ji via Kar-Seva.
While returning to Pushkar, I stopped the motorbike at a Petrol Pump for petrol. Red Chilli paste on top of Boil – God said I. Red Chilli itself is spicy and boil is painful – two deadly combinations. Why?
The traditional way of treatment? Unbelievable for sure.
But the man who works at the petrol station is confident – a paste of red chilli mixed with a little bit of edible lime (Chuna) treats the best as it flushes out the pus formed inside and the boil is cured. He believes what he said, but for me – Unbelievable Traditional Remedy for a Boil on Finger.
What say?
Baijnath Shiva Temple from Pushkar is approx. 16 km via Dev Nagar.
Private jeeps and buses are available close to Pushkar Stadium near Chungi (Toll-Tax), National Highway 89. They will drop you close to Baijnath Shiva temple. You have to walk for 2 km approx. to reach the temple. Own vehicle or taxi is another good option.
I was traveling by Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark motorbike. I went there twice as I like the temple surroundings very much.
And do not forget to do a one km trek next to the temple.
Freelance Massage Therapist the search when I am too tired, especially after a long motorbike drive. To have a body massage is a wish or requirement I do not know but last 20 years I am having massage – head/shoulders/legs/full body in various towns/cities. Very seldom do I meet well knowledgeable massager as per the amount I can afford for body massage but when I met Kishore the search ended.
You may ask: What is a good massager?
I believe as per self-experience firstly a massager should have great pairs of hands which are always a God’s gift. Secondly, he must know body pressure points very well. In general, when the temple of the forehead, shoulders, lower back, calf muscles, and heel are relaxed and I am at sleep I am sure I am having one of the best massages.
Kishore runs a barbershop at Pushkar‘s main bazaar close to Vishram Ghat. Once during Pushkar’s visit, I had a wish for a massage discussed with a local friend, and Kishore was recommended. From that day till the last visit, the choice has been Kishore and only Kishore. I can say he is the best freelance massage therapist in Pushkar I have met to date. A gentle socially knowledgeable person also well known for making colorful dreadlocks. If I am at Pushkar and very tired, I know Kishore Sen (0-94144 15366) is there. No worries.
Jodhpur to Pushkar Distance via Borunda, Merta City is 175 km approx.
I started solo from Jodhpur by Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark motorbike at 10:15 am and reached Pushkar at 2:00 noon hours via Borunda, Merta City. Total journey hours from Jodhpur to Pushkar is approx. four hours.
National Highway 112 as well as National Highway 89, road conditions are fantastic for driving a car or motorbike. And the best is you drive through villages many times.

Today I purchased STUDDS Protective Goggles to wear while driving Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark motorbike. For the last two years, I am wearing STUDDS full-face helmet and fastrack sunglasses, but many times was unable to protect my eyes from wind, dirt, and insects. I hope the new goggles will help. How much do I pay for protective goggles?
Rs. 145/- only.
The best I like about the goggles is the clear shade (available in clear, grey, and yellow). Now if I am driving at night hours I can wear the same – correct? Sasta Sundar and I hope it will be Tikau. What about you?
Which protective goggles do you wear while driving a motorbike?
