Best everyone can enjoy the horse and camel rides.

Nearby the sea front, are many stalls that sell food & refreshments, which sells Bhel-puri, Paani-puri, Pav Bhaji, Chats, Sandwiches, Golas (hand made flavoured ice-sticks) etc. including ‘kulfi’ – the famous Indian ice-cream.

silence and smile are 2 powerful tools,
smile is the way to solve many problems &
silence is the way to avoid many problems.

never search your happiness in others
which will make you feel alone,
search it in yourself & you will feel
happy even when you are left alone.

everyone is good to u
till you expect nothing from them
& u are too good to themonly
till you fulfill their expectations.

nothing can be changed
by changing the face,
but everything can be changed
by facing the change.
