I am thinking of that moment from a few days ago. It was 8am on a Sunday. I was seated by a lake on the outskirts of Udaipur. The sun peeked through the Aravallis sparking gold on the waters. The silence was broken only by the chirping of birds and swaying of palm trees. Laid out on a picnic blanket in front of me was a breakfast spread of seasonal fruits, muesli bowls, blueberry muffins, cupcakes, flaky croissants and Danish pastries. My butler, clad in a blue block print kurta and bandi, poured me a glass of fresh orange juice, as I watched geese waddle into the waters. Now, when I need a break, I find myself tapping this mental souvenir, which I collected that morning in Udaipur.
