Noon ki baori aur Jaipur ki thandak

Jaipur ki baori dopahar mein sabse zyada zinda lagti hai. Bahar dhoop sakht, andar patthar thanda; seedhiyan neeche jaati hain to saans bhi dheemi pad jaati hai. Kahin kisi chhat ki diwar se saaya gira hai, kahin kabootar pankh samet kar baith gaye hain. Ek do padosi bas yun hi aa kar kinare par rukte hain — paani dekhne, hawa lene, ya bas ghani der se chalti zindagi ko thoda thehraane. Mhare Jaipur mein aisi baori sirf purani imarat nahi, roz ka chhota sa araam hai. Dopahar ka woh pal, jab bazaar ki bhaag-daur zara door lagti hai, aur patthar apni sadiyon purani thandak se sabko ek jaisi chupp de deta hai. Bas itna hi.
