In a reverie over Rajasthan
- Share via
I enjoyed Linda Minoo’s narrative, “Another View of Camel Drivers” [Letters, Dec. 14]. It brought back fond memories of my own experience in 1998, when I toured small villages in Rajasthan for two hours by camel caravan, led by polite, enthusiastic camel drivers who, to my surprise, turned out to be that evening’s entertainers. They treated us to the most harmonious vocals I have ever heard, accompanied exquisitely on their own handcrafted instruments. After their unforgettable outdoor concert, we retired to our luxurious, carpeted tents with hot and cold running shower, sink, flushable toilets and comfy beds.
If I weren’t so busy globetrotting to other unseen places, I would return to Rajasthan in a New York minute, if only to hear again the beautiful singing of our camel drivers!
