One visit to the Clocktower and market was enough for me. Usually I thrive on the bustle and energy of a market, but this one seemed to exceed my tolerance level for commotion. I think it was either the millions of flies or cows that kept getting in my way that pushed it over the edge. Either way, it was a good experience to see one time. In the market, you can find any product that you can imagine from plastic containers to bangles to fresh fruits and vegetables. The road is occupied by vendors, people, cars, motorcycles, scooter, cows, and of course millions of flies. Even though this market is frequented by most tourists who come to Jodhpur, I was once again the main local attraction. As we were weaving among the crowds, one man jumped in front of me with a big grin and shouted "Hello cutie!". Abhijeet and his mom got a good laugh and enjoy imitating the stares that people make as I pass through the crowd. Let's just say that these are far from subtle stares. After all of the hustle and bustle, we did treat ourselves to another round of savory nibbles (mirchibada, samosa, and kachori) at the end of the trip.
