Inspite of hailing from Rajasthan, I had never been to Jodhpur. I guess it was a combination of Jodhpur being too close to Jaipur; the usual hot weather and the fact that I could visit it whenever I wanted!

I received an early morning call from Nitish (instagram-nitishwaila) when he randomly remarked that he and his friends were headed to Sambhar Lake and I was welcome to join them.
