Due to Almighty’s grace & as if a boon granted/dream fulfilled,I got a chance to visit Rawatbhata-the place so very close to my heart where I spent those marvellous years of childhood(1961-71),Schooling (1964-75) & later on by God’s grace getting appointed to serve R.A.P.S(1981-85).Afterwards I was transferred to NAPS,Narora in 1985.My readers may pl. refer my Rawatbhata blog dtd 19/11/20 for relevant details .I am associated with the place right since my father was working in Chambal Dam Project(1961-63)afterwhich he joined RAPP in 1963 when Rawatbhata was just like a small town famous for RPS Dam & the upcoming Nuclear power plants! I was a very small kid👦 then.

I am a travel enthusiast from Jaipur, India always full of curiosity to explore new places marked by some cultural, geographical & historical significance around the globe. Also I love visiting places full of adventure/mystery & have undertaken many amazing trekking expeditions to difficult locations needing toughness of body, soul &the spirit. I have explored most of Indian states/UTs to learn about their culture,had cultural exchange with people & learnt to respect their religious beliefs/customs.In September 2019, we went on our first foreign trip(50 days)to Netherlands, France, Belgium& Switzerland.Again in July 2022 ,we got a chance to visit Europe & have visited(75-day trip)Italy ,Portugal, Germany,Spain & Vatican city. The trips were full of amazing monuments,natural landscapes & places of great scenic beauty.Enjoyed the visit enormously.Having traveled so much I felt like travel blogging & here I am doing just that !Apart from travel-blogging I also like poetry. Basically I am an Electrical Engineer retired recently from Central Govt. Service after serving for 38 yrs. Meanwhile I have completed my Master of Social Work degree to pursue my Social obligations towards my fellow beings & am engaged in rendering Social Services to the needy &the disadvantaged ! Also I will like to pursue my new-found interest/hobby of writing Travelogues to benefit my readers by providing max. details like statistics, demography, historical origin, way of life , professions , languages spoken & the culture/customs associated with any place. While enjoying any tourist place, I simply advocate that one must also try to learn about the place. I travel and then share the collected information with the potential traveler .Hence the name of my site - Travel and share.😊

  6. Soothing reminiscences… that carried me too to the lovely Rawatbhata, where my GOI Service started in 1983, some 38 years ago.. Rawatbhata is a place, I love so much for it’s Rajasthani people and their great culture. I remember that I was not familiar with Hindi those days and my shortcoming provided some great experiences and moments which I recall with pleasure even now. I also would like to visit Rawatbhata, once the current pandemic conditions are overcome. Thanks for sharing your experience. My regards to your mother and Best wishes to your all other family members. Wish you many more happy outings!
