"Was Dr Viegas cooking up one of his famous Sunday bluffs with me or were you actually trying to board a train to Jaipur from Bombay Central terminus? A rather bold move, if I may add," Sir PM asked his walking companion and old friend Lady Flora, in the middle of one of their strolls that had resumed after torrential rain kept them mostly planted on their pedestals. He was afraid that his sudden query might upset his temperamental comrade.

Stunned, Lady Flora halted in her stride. "Oh…that was nothing. Well, you see, I was really curious about Pink City and wanted to visit it. Sir Albert had narrated such wonderful things about its heritage and landmarks, and I now hear that the walled city has won a tag from none other than UNESCO. Isn't that fabulous?" she added, trying to divert the attention over being spotted heading towards on an almost-adventure to the World Heritage Site. After all, she knew that her overprotective friend wouldn't take kindly to her secretive escapade.
