Rajasthan trip: Jaipur leg

This post is part of Rajasthan series. Read previous post – Destination Rajasthan.
It was a calm afternoon of tenth December 2009, being on-board the Mumbai-Jaipur superfast express, I arrived as per schedule time at my first destination of the trip. As mentioned in previous post, I was relieved from apprehensions about getting ripped off by auto-rickshaw drivers for intra-city transportation all because of Raju and also Arun Bhat for the reference in his india-travel-blog. Raju’s service was so reliable that he called me up in morning itself to know about my expected arrival time and asked me to acknowledge him when the train leaves the penultimate station.
