Dear Readers,
I am elated to share with you the news that today I formally joined the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur as a faculty in its department of History and good Lord! what an assuring piece of news it is. Jaipur, the city of my dreams, the most romantic city of our country has taken me into its pinkish folds. As I lay inebriated in the glittering dusk of this enchanting city, all that occurs to my mind is the sheer desperation and passion I held within myself to consummate my love for this sheher.
The sight of the grand and gorgeous Birla temple on my way back home against the backdrop of the medieval fortress of Moti Dungri hurled me backwards into the throes of time reminding me of all those countless occasions when I would stare at these monuments and wish to be a citizen of this beautiful town. By the grace of All mighty, I have finally been accepted by this generous city.
I aim at writing no sissy eulogy in praise of the beauty of this town. The overwhelming aesthetics of this place, however, fuels a strange creativity pang inside any thinking soul and it is this that wants me to belong to this place. It cannot be said for sure that will this belonging really affect my productivity but for the moment, the very fact that Jaipur has become my home is enough to send my mind racing.....
