The Desert Resort

This place is out in Mandawa, which is in the Jhunjhunu district. We are part of the Shekhawati region, 333704. It is a bit of a different world out here compared to the big cities. Things move a lot slower. The resort is spread out and we spend a lot of time just keeping up with the maintenance. It’s a lot of sand and old buildings around here. We don't have a fancy office. Most of the time we are just out on the grounds making sure things are okay. It’s a bit of an older property, so there is always something that needs fixing or painting. We don't mind the work. The people who come here usually want to see the old carvings and the history of Shekhawati. We just give them their keys and let them be. We aren't the type to hover or use big words to describe the place. It’s a resort in the desert, simple as that. The wind blows the dust around, and we sweep it up. That's the daily routine. We've got a small crew of people from the nearby villages working here. We just treat everyone like neighbors. It’s a quiet life most of the time. When it gets hot, we just find some shade and wait for the sun to go down. We don't have any big mission. We have been here for years, watching the seasons change across the desert landscape.
