"A brutal #heatwave swept swathes of northwest #India on Friday, with maximum temperatures soaring to a scorching 47.4 degrees Celsius in southwest #Delhi's Najafgarh, making it the warmest place in the country."
"Temperatures in #Delhi have hit a record high of 50.5C (122.9F), as authorities warned of water shortages in #India’s capital.
At the SMS hospital in Rajasthan’s capital, #Jaipur, so many bodies of casualties of the heat have arrived at the mortuary that its capacity has been exceeded. Police in the city say many of the victims are poor labourers, who have no choice but to work outside, and homeless people."

Sitzen gerade in einem indischen Zug von #Jaipur nach #NewDelhi. Zwar ein wenig langsamer als ein #ICE, aber bequem, sauber, gutes Catering, günstig, gutes Internet und vor allem: pünktlich.
Erstaunlich, was möglich ist, wenn es keine #CSU gibt!

Mohammad Iqbal, a 17-year-old Muslim boy was lynched to death by an alleged Hindu mob after he was involved in a bike accident with a Hindu in the capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur.

Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Probably the most iconic spot in Jaipur, it is a former Palace. The funny thing about it is that it looks so large but there is actually nothing behind.
Another photo from Gulab Ji Chai Walla in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
Like the first photo I posted, what I love about this one is that it seemed to capture life or something in motion. The sign lists the food options they offer. And then you have the man behind enjoying his snack and chai.
Gulab Ji Chai Walla in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. This stall was down an alleyway. It was very crowded and the tea was great. It was so good we went twice.
What I love about this photo is partially capture the motion or life of the place. Everyone is moving like clockwork, from the chai walla and server in the first photo to the man attempting to give his order. I also love a lot of small details like the glasses and khulads leaning the same way.
And now, some snacks and street foods in Jaipur! The first place we went to was Rawat Misthan Bhandar for Piyaz Kachori and Chili Pakora. It was raining lightly when we arrived and we wanted something a bit lighter. The place was packed with lots of people buying sweets and modaks for Ganesha Chaturthi. @seanbala is not the biggest fan of kachori but even he liked them.
Second stop is Gulab Ji Chai Walla. Nestled in an alleyway, the stand basically serves chai, bread, and a few basic sandwiches. The chai was great. Perfect for a rainy day.
Finally, before we left the city, we decided to get a lassi from Lassiwalla at MI Road. There were three different ones in a line next to eaachother. How to know the real one? 1) the fake ones try to entice you to stop while the real one says nothing and 2) see which one has more khulads in its bin.
Food has been great but we are looking forward to ghar ka khanna (home food) now 🤗
