A bit in a hurry, between work and Oktoberfest I wanted to share a few pictures from the incredible weekend in Udaipur in Rajasthan. Here is the entire set on Flickr with almost 200 pics. It was a bit of exhausting with 2 night flights in four days, but it was more than worth it. Seeing my friends from EO Bangalore in such a relaxed environment was a perfect opportunity for bonding. And Udaipur as a city is magnificient, especially with its lake and the famous Taj Palace Hotel in it.
The second evening on Sunday was particularly memorable as it was an Indian ethnic night in the colourful tradition of Rajasthan, including an amazing dance performance.
As I usually get caned for such pictures from my girl-friend, I just pray to the Lord that she gets the irony of that one where I am lying spread out like the Maharaja of Udaipur with his harem ;-)
And that one is really funny. On Monday, in the honorable Times of India , me sitting in Rajasthan and looking at the title page, the photo story with "HIGH SPIRITS" covering Oliver Kahn football-god and his girl friend Verena in the traditional Bavarian dress on the, well, here we are again: Oktoberfest. (Here is the picture in full resolution.)
Hilarious, because that's like the bracket for my Udaipur breakout: The Oktoberfest where I came from and the Oktoberfest where am going to, almost like Sansara, the eternal Hindu cycle of birth and rebirth. And the Oktoberfest where I'll be in approximately one hour again. Cheers & Prost :-)
