Did find a milk and vegetable fat and heavily sugared sweet called Mesu and Seeng Daana-large peanuts, salted and roasted by hand. Speciality of Gujarat, but loved all over. I also managed to find t weo kinds of moongodi and my desperately needed kinnows.Munching down the highway ,these goats too...
Hubby dear and I are second Generation army/navy brats and this being close to the border area ,we received quite an education. Among the snippets were details about how Tata motors started making trucks for the Indian army. In the 1950's they collaborated with Mercedes Benz and made the TMB or the Tata Mercedes Benz Trucks.Time has stood still for almost 60 years, and as a tribute to the quality of the Tata Mercedes Benz trucks...they are still used to haul sand and the golden sandstone in the western part of Rajasthan.
The driver was quite happy to have his picture and one of his beautiful truck taken.
Beautifully painted and restored, with the proclamation of his allegiance to his Khwaja ,the driver was impressed by my camera and my skill.
That tigers eye is actually the Mercedes Benz symbol.
At the roadside dhaba, where we stopped to pick up a fresh bottle of water ,one of the visitors was munching away at the remains of some ones breakfast. According to the boy there , he'll make a sweater someday.
Human ingenuity...strips torn from used tyres are used to make charpais ,with the plank of wood a nice table. 
The drive was long and the last stretches of the road were not too good.We had three days in Jodhpur, so we were relaxed.
Jodhpur will wait for day 7.
A view of the Massive Mehrangarh Fort.
Rajasthan, the land where history is still alive.
Rajasthan, where people's smiles reach their eyes.
Rajasthan, the land of our ancestors.
There's a story in every stone.
'Till I bake again.
