I
have
just
returned
after
shooting
for
the
film
Anamika
in
Rajasthan.
It
is
already
a
beautiful
state
and
the
place
we
went
to
is
simply
majestic.
I
was
lucky
that
my
director
Ananth
Mahadevan
had
decided
to
shoot
in
one
of
the
most
beautiful
places
possible
that
was
Bikaner.
There
is
a
palace
about
20
kilometers
away
from
Bikaner
called
Gajner
palace.
We
shot
in
Gajner
palace
and
this
is
the
only
place
that
I
would
like
to
go
back
to
with
that
special
someone
in
my
life.
I
really
do
not
know
why
people
prefer
to
go
abroad
most
of
the
time.
We
have
so
much
beauty
in
our
country,
we
have
so
many
fabulous
places
that
we
can
go
to.
Even
the
foreigners,
who
come
here
to
India
have
praises
for
the
beauty
and
the
heritage
of
our
country.
Gajner
palace
is
a
place
that
has
just
won
me
over.
We
shot
two
schedules
and
packed
up
from
there,
but
I'm
just
coaxing
Ananth
that
we
have
another
song
to
shoot
and
we
should
do
that
at
Gajner.
The
palace
is
magical
especially
when
you
come
from
a
city
which
is
so
fast
and
you
go
to
a
peaceful
place
like
this.
It
has
such
a
sense
of
tranquility
to
it.
It's
like
coming
back
home.
I
have
fallen
in
love
with
the
peace
and
tranquility
of
this
place.
It
is
a
place
where
you
can
be
completely
alone
and
still
not
feel
sad
in
you
loneliness.
It
is
a
peaceful
loneliness.
You
will
feel
that
you
are
living
in
the
time
of
the
maharajas.
This
place
is
meant
for
people
who
like
heritage
and
know
how
to
appreciate
its
beauty.
This
palace
belongs
to
the
rajas
and
is
now
converted
into
a
hotel.
There
is
a
man
made
lake
probably
built
by
the
maharajas
or
the
Britishers
and
it
is
beautiful
especially
at
night
when
you
have
all
the
lights
reflecting
from
the
water.
The
palace
itself
has
its
restaurant
which
serves
awesome
typical
Rajasthani
food.
It
is
a
feast
for
the
taste
buds
of
foodies
like
me.
The
gatti
ka
sabji,
buttermilk,
dal
baati.....
......brings
water
into
my
mouth.
I
feel
that
all
those
people
who
visit
Rajasthan,
should
also
plan
a
visit
to
Gajner
Palace.
All
that
I
would
like
to
say
on
my
part
is
to
go
and
unwind
in
the
luxuries
of
this
beautiful
heritage
palace.
