Khajuraho
We have reached Khajuraho. We started quite early from Gwalior today. But the road was in an awful state from Gwalior to Jhansi. After Jhansi it improved a little bit.
We were late to see the temples. We had to stop frequently because of the heat. It is killing us. In the hotel, the AC couldn’t cool the room and it seemed we were inside a blast furnace. The heat radiation was unbearable. At 9 pm we shifted to a ground floor room, which is marginally better. It doesn’t face sun light directly. It has no AC. But still it is much better.
We visited the western group of temples. But we were late. The closing time is 6.30 pm and we entered the campus at 5.50. Tomorrow morning I plan to see the temples. we will also change the hotel. We have identified one, which is just opposite the temples. The rooms are damp. Good for us.
We are feeling genuinely weak now. My legs have lost all strength. Pat, physically and mentally, is in a sorry state. We didn’t face such heat even in Rajasthan and Gujarat. I wonder how people live in such places.
One word before I end. It is a misconception that Khajuraho is all about erotic sculptures. They are there. But they are insignificant compared to what we see at Konarak and Puri. I am SEEING REALLY disappointed faces among the tourists – both local and those from abroad.

As u r getting a rare opportunity to observe india closely, i request u to explore the variety and its inherent beauty(may be ugliness) of lifestyle of places u r going through and share those voews with us. Then only your accounts will break the boundary of mere commentary and attain the level of art.
