Delhi 2010

With big relief of completing MS and a spare day before the connecting train to Chennai, we are on the roads of Delhi to see what our capital is really upto... we were lucky to be just in capital with Commonwealth Games 2010 around the corner... an attempt to make Delhi a super city can be seen with newly laid pedestrian pathway and all ugly shop banners were covered with white cloths and the names printed in English just in hope to serve visitors... but we all know how miserably Delhi was failed by our respectable babus and netas...



first stop was at Jandar Mandar...




I like this one...








our second stop, the India Gate...




patriotism was the feelings when we were around India gate and esp after seeing the Amar Jothi... all these years right from the days I started to track the Republic day parade, used to see this place when defense minister pays tribute to lost unknown Indian soldiers


infront of Presidential Palace - Rastrapathi Bhawan...


i think this place infront of palace is referred to south block/north block


with impressive Qutab Minar... a lasting legacy of Muslim rulers...




with Delhi Iron Pillar - a 1600 years old iron structure... remarkable...

infront of lotus temple... we got in to this place believing there was some hindu worship but later found its place of new religion kind of interesting...




At Lotus temple.... after this we went to checkout Akshardam temple but couldn't get chance to click any picture due to their strict no picture policy... the big trip finally came to end... and with that also the brief union of our gang... it was great experience.. Thanks folks...
