Jaipur, Rajasthan, The Pink City(so named for the overkill of salmon color paint), located in the deserts of western India, is a dry, sandy place, filled to the brim with hungry jewelry shops. This congested metropolis is the capital of Rajasthan and the home to India's oldest movie house. Jaipur is also typically a peaceful place, but when 8 bomb blasts struck the heart of Jaipur's "Old City", on May 13th, leaving over 60 dead, and hundreds wounded, everyone was put on edge. Though the blast occurred less than a mile from my guest-house, i was not physically affected by the attack. One of the places attacked was the Hanuman Temple, where i paid a visit just the day before. Despite this rare occurrence, Jaipur is still an interesting destination, with much to offer, as well as a lot of beautiful people and strongly recommended for any India itinerary
