I enjoyed the Rann of Kutch and I enjoyed staying in the tents in the Melas. The tourism ministry there was extremely helpful and I think I am so glad we had two weeks to spend in Bhuj, Kutch. I have clicked crazy pictures and videos for memory sake and I’ve got so much stuff from there. I did so much shopping which I’ve actually used in my apartment where I stay. So, Kutch is going to be a part of my life for a really long time."
