Journeys for Knowledge

This begins a series of posts chronicling my brief trip to India this year. The trip began was a family vacation to Tijara Fort Palace, which rises above the hills of Rajasthan. Now remodeled into a hotel, the fort set the scene for a family reunion almost 9 years in the making. As we caught up with each other and enjoyed the stunning views, I tried exploring as much of the fort as I could, finding places under repair or simply hidden from public view. For once it was nice to have a vacation where we actually did not go anywhere, but simply rested and relaxed in the sun. We focused on each other, rather than a continuous series of new surroundings, and by the end of the stay felt renewed in our familial bonds.
