Jaipurthrumylens!! is now on GPSmyCity

Jaipurthrumylens.com is often visited by potential travelers seeking information on Jaipur, places to visit, and so on. Visitors are often directed via Google to Jaipurthrumylens.com while searching for information related to Jaipur.

Though the internet is a great resource, it presents its own set of problems. How do you access an article previously read on a later date say when you are actually in Jaipur? There’s too much information available on the internet & one ends up getting bewildered by it. The sheer amount of time one wastes searching for the same set of information is another problem in itself. Bookmarking can be one option but it’s not always feasible.

Considering these issues, I’m happy to announce that from now on, selected posts from Jaipurthrumylens.com are now available for free download on an iOS-based travel app called GPSmyCity.

All this is free!! So no worries about using an expensive data plan during your travel!

For a small fee, you can upgrade & download articles with embedded google map coordinates, so finding any tourist attraction, restaurants, market or important landmarks is never a problem.

    1. Thank You Mana! It took me quite some time to understand and accept the offer from GPmyCity team. I decided to accept the offer because without readers, my posts have no meaning. I would like tourists to be benefited with my write-ups!
      Don’t worry, whenever you decide to visit Jaipur, I’ll help you around apart from the app! 🙂

      1. Recently I discarded most travel guides, articles and maps we had (at our place) in an old sturdy suitcase. My mother asked me to have a look and manage them. My whole family is a travel lover. So we actually used many of them. When i had a look at the brochures etc., I thought how easy it was to choose places in a particular place. I also found correspondence of my father with different state tourism departments. They were all personalised and made me fell calm as things were done with much care and not hazardously like they are done these days.

        Will surely have to visit Jaipur some day and take a well planned tour with your help. But as of now, i am consoling myself by taking up visiting one monument at a time (Sunday in my case) of my city.

      2. I know how much fun it was in old times when one would receive reply by snail mail after days unlike instant revert now!
        It’s a great initiative mana. Being tourist in your own city is fun too! 🙂

      3. It is fun indeed! And you know what I found in my recent trip? How they were preserving stone walls and sculptures of a temple! They were finely crushing red stone and then adding many herbs (a list of which I noted) and then making a paste in a huge चक्की that ran by bullocks. I saw it all. And will be making a post on it sooner or later.

        As for snail mail, i very much use it on purpose just for the sheer excitement it gives.
