My husband and I moved to Rajasthan six years ago, sight unseen (well, he had seen it about a decade earlier but I’d never even Googled it). Since then, I’ve come to really love this place. It feels like home in spite of the nearly daily reminder that I’m not from here as the locals stare or shout, “Which country?!” I don’t mind it though. This is a land of curious people! And a friendly conversation is as common as a goat on the palace walls.
