This is the path right outside our house compound in our native village, Basera in Rajasthan. The barrenness is stricking, more so in this picture. I had my cousin's Pulsar 220 to roam around the village.

A typical cactus plant found in this part of the state.

Well near the temple...

The 'Sati' goddess at the temple and the pujaris. It's said that long time back when the Thakur of the area died, this is the place where his wife became a Sati.

At the lake beside our temple. Simmering and pristine...

That's the compound outside our house. Seems barren. And hotly silent. But I stood there hearing many sounds - parrots, cuckoo, sparrows, cows, buffaloes, pigeons...

A barren street outside our home. This woman was carrying her little kid in that basket atop her head. Temperature - 41 C.

I enjoy the barrenness of Rajasthan. Here, I'm on my way to my native place, a village called Bansera, in Bhilwara district.
