From Agra we drove to Jaipur (for my second visit) and arrived in time for lunch. I was beyond excited to see my “Jaipur family” again and show Annabel around!
Our first night in Jaipur I took Annabel to a local light show in a nearby park and then dinner at my favorite restaurant: The Peacock Rooftop Restaurant
Two weeks before I life Jaipur for Delhi I met a 16 year old tuktuk driver. His tuktuk looked like something out of “Pimp My Ride” and he started playing a remix to Macklemore’s ThriftShop. Natural my friends and I started singing along and that I how I learned that this young boy’s father had driven Macklemore around Jaipur for three full days in January.
Flash forward to April 7th— I told Annabel about meeting this boy and we ended up calling his father and booking his tuktuk to take us from the light show to dinner.
Shabir, the father, told us all about his time with Macklemore, a photo of the two of them, and and personal from Macklemore thanking him (yes, I did see Macklemore’s personal gmail).
Shabir told us that Macklemore had payed him 3000 USDs for the three days, which allowed him to retire his old tuktuk and by the new, pimped-out tuktuk.
Before we left for dinner Shabir offered to teach us to drive a tuktuk, take us to local shops, and around Jaipur— of course we said “yes please!”
Long story short: we met Shabir on the 9th and he taught us how to drive a tuktuk (it was stubble central for me because unfortunately it was stick)! He also took us shopping for palm reading, and drinks.
During my palm reading I was told that I have low blood pressure (true), I have bad eyesight and will go deaf in the future (it is possible), and that my father would be more successful if he was self implied (hahahhahaha).
After the tuktuk driver took us out for drinks and I had my first diet coke in ages! During our time at the bar I ended up entering myself into an arranged marriage with his 18yr old son and Annabel became his girlfriend(?)— is was quite a funny evening!
