Blue City, Johdpur, India
Standing at the top of the blue city, it seems that history was not too far away then. The skyline wouldn't have been too different, the people should have changed little in their ways of life. Whatever has industralization done, it did not seem evident in the majesty of the fort that we have came to land our feet upon.
It does seem a bit lonely at the top. We came across a singaporean who was travelling on his own when we were at the fort that day. He quit his job to travel 3 months in india all by himself. A very scary idea if you were to ask the average tourist. But yet it doesn't seem to undermine him in any bit. He was without a camera, and he was tanned and very weathered; in many aspects untypical of a singaporean. He even told us that he was generally taken for as a nepalese on travel!
But what was the most admirable was the very spirit of discovery, whether it was for seeing the world or to find his inner universe.
How many of us can really let go when we were given choices? How many of us can face up to the test when we are put through it?
How many of us can make the one most important decision?
