haha mahal

Looks grand, doesn't it. I thought so too, when I saw it in the picture, and part of the visit to Rajastan's Jaipur was to see this building. But boy, wasn't I for a disappointment. It looks nice and all, when in a camera frame it just includes this structure, but when you look down, on the street, it is all dirt and garbage, and frail looking people, and dirty cars and commotion and every horrible thing you can think of. The picture itself shows an automobile tire, which is not supposed to be on a street sign. Dang! I should have also taken a picture of the street where this structur e stands. Pretty depressing.
