Acha, one last (perhaps...) question: What is a zilla? I mean...okay I'm gonna sound like a complete idiot now..but a gaaon is a village, a sheher is a city, a desh is a country... LOL... so keeping those basic translations in mind, what is a zilla?

It's not that I don't understand the Hindi language...I speak Urdu at home..so I'm very much familiar with Hindi... but the term zilla is still "foreign" to me... initially I thought that zilla translates to district, but if Jaitsar is located in Jodhpur district, then how did it become a district itself?

u ws ryt initially..zilla means district...any city can become a district if it fulfill sm criteria like population or infrastructure fascilities
in d shw eveeythng z possible bt practically jaitser kind of village cant be a district even in d show still jaitser hv no infrastructure fascilities nd in real jaitser z a typical village whr soo much dust,rough roads,nd ppls r using camel for agriculture nd transpotation...nt all prsns bt still i saw many ppls dr.

zilla/district is a group of such villages

small town is group of district

big town/city is places like jaipur

jaipur is a city but not as big as mumbai

udaipur is somewhat between small town and city...saanchi lives in hostel maybe because her house is very far from her college

like mumbai is divided into places like thane, colaba,panvel in the same way maybe udaipur is divided...the places is a part of same city but very far from each other

so maybe its the same case...if KB haveli is located in main city and her college must be in outskirts than she needs to stay in hostel to lessen the trauma of trvelling
