ABOUT FACE!
so after a long long train ride (again) from amritsar, i arrived in jaipur. i was planning to just stay one night and them move further west to Jaisalmer for a few days before heading back this way to catch the famed Pushkar Camel Fair which i've read runs from the 12-15 nov.
imagine my surprise when the taxi driver, Ali, told me that it starts on the 9th! the day after tomorrow! i decided to cancel my onward ticket and will go to Pushkar either tomorrow or the day after, depending on my energy.
since my energy is still quite low, i went around by auto (taxi) today. man, life is easy if you are willing to let go of some rupees. at this point, i could pour out rupees to make my life easy. every day i hope that i feel better, it just hasn't happened. those overnight train rides probably arent' the smartest thing.
since i really didn't see much in Jaipur (the pink city), i may have to come back here after pushkar before i go off for the final push to the Taj Mahal and Delhi.

I didn't eat much food on the trains, as it didn't look too appetizing. I even left one plate on a platform for someone else. Trials of travelling. I may divert to Rajasthan if Srinigar is definitely off limits. Looks like a big place. Have you seen any pharmacys? Maybe only in the big cities. Hope you are recovering.

Sounds like Agra or Bust. I hear that there are touristy times and other times to go - most of the times have caveats. Hope you get a good clue.
Hope the food posioning is over.
If you get there, it will be amazing.
Think of it this way, I get to go to Madison next week. Yippee!
