Sometimes red marks the beginning,
And green the end...

Chawand is 2 hours from here, till then I choose to sit back and dream.  Earlier while reading about Mewar, I came to know that the Mewar dynasty still continues and the present Rana is Maharana Arvind Singh. His son is Lakshara Singh and is married to a princess of a still continuing dynasty from Orissa. Looking through the window, a signboard catches my attention, it reads  "Banswara" with an arrow marked in other direction and "165 km" written in white. "Which place is Banswara?"
