Like an oasis. Almost like the Gallaghers’
Far from a ‘sh*t name’, as one of the Gallaghers apparently called it, Oasis seems like a relief to ears in 2018. Fittingly enough, because an oasis is bound to bring relief. Both from the unbearable heat and like exhibited here, from the multitude of banal atrocities to instruments that’s passed as music these days. So not only have I started listening to the once hugely popular Brit band more, the look out for an oasis from the terrifyingly boring routine has come into effect, in full swing.
Among the myriad of weekend-getaway choices one has from a city like Delhi, we began to search for an oasis of our own. An ideal location would’ve been about four-five hours away (to satisfy our never-ending urge to drive), with ridiculously liberal use of greenery per square metre, and of course, the quaint and serenity of well, an oasis. A few hours thrusting the life out of my keyboard later, I eventually found one. Possibly one in a million. It’s called the Water House Resort, is located roughly 40 km off Jaipur, and fits our rather short list of criteria, too.
As the name suggests, it comprises houses made over water. Think fancy houseboats but without the ability to move — it’s an oasis, not a lagoon. Surprising to say the least, especially in a state like Rajasthan, where culture, colours, and even tasty food sort of make up for the lack of water. Thankfully that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of either culture or delicacies at the Water House Resort, but more on that soon.
