So last weekend, when one of our family friends were in Delhi, we planned to go and see India Gate and Qutub Minar (actually to show thier kids..). The last time I had gone to any of the monuments was in class III or something when we were in Delhi...
So after around 13 years...I went out on a proper Dilli Darshan...
1st stop: India Gate
And I have to admit, sirf India Gate ke saamne khade ho kar hi ek patriotism ki feeling aa jaati hai...Uske sirf dekh ke hi ek PROUD feeling aati hai INDIAN hone ki...
2nd stop: Qutub Minar
To think that this monument is within 10 km from my place and I have never seen it. Quite a lot of history about this place too...the area includes the Iron Pillar, a mosque, a couple of tombs and an unbuilt Minar which was planned to be twice the Qutub Minar. Anyways we spent some time sitting in the lush green lawns, then had lunch at Andhra Bhavan and then headed back home.
However a fortnight hasn't passed since the Earth Hour wherein Delhi switched off lights at Qutub Minar too...well the next pic shows the reality- At 11 AM in the morning, most of the flood lamps at Qutub area were on. Ek ghante to band kar li..jab karni chahiye tab ON padhi hai lights...Waah re Dilli...
And yoyo after finally 8 months of using a keyboard without a spacebar and a partially working 'y' key, I now have a new keyboard. :D
PS: I have not written this post now (during office hours..), it is just scheduled to be published now :P
