I visited Baroda City few days back on a weekend. After my work is done, I still had few hours before I go back to my place. So I thought to discover a new place where I can roam for a while. ~ I asked to my cab driver for the same and he suggested this beautiful place called "Laxmi Villas Palace". (Yes, I love to ask people first before I open Google Maps). ~ Since childhood, we all have a fantasy of being a King or Queen and to enjoy that lavish lifestyle. Bite me if I am wrong. And that same thought runs in our minds again and again, whenever we see any Palace or other Royal Sites. ~ I felt the same when I reach there. A big gate to welcome you inside the property, a long passage just to go through some scenery and that huge entrance welcoming you inside the Royal house. ~ When I entered in the Palace, a guide gave me a pod with headphones, and asked me to play it while roaming in the Palace. So I just pushed the button and started walking. ~ It has some recorded stories about that Palace like how it was build and about the Kings who lived and ruled over there. After a while, I heard an interesting story from one of the King who lived there. ~ He said people assumes royal families enjoy their life at fullest and gets whatever they want very easily but the truth is not always sugary. ~ He shared his few incidents as a prince and as a king. He said, when I was a kid I have to wake up every morning between 4 to 5 am and have to be ready to learn horse riding, wheather I like it or not. After that I had to learn sward fighting and also to participate in daily rituals by wearing all those heavy ornaments and clothes even in summer. ~ If he asks for a tea then it takes around half hour to get it from the kitchen and due to this many times he couldn't enjoy a hot tea, so he had to ask for another one and god knows what not. As he belongs to a royal family so he had to pay a price for it. ~ He teach a very meaningful lesson in the end.
