Qutub Minar

When I visited Qutub Minar 10 years ago, I never once noticed, this corridor, where every single pillar is of a different design. No duplication whatsoever. And with the evening sun streaming in, it made for a pretty picture.



Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of a sponge cake too????



Another beautiful day ends.

Flower Through the Concrete

My First Time

I went on some wonderful journeys recently. To look at some of the great momuments in Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra. I remember going to these places as a school kid, but back then the emphasis was more on singing in the bus, and making silly poems based on who sat with who. It had its own charm, but now I find myself being able to appreciate the beauty of these ruins even more. Most of them are just huge tombs, but the skill and patience that must have accompanied their construction, amazes me.

I find myself wanting to capture silly things on the street. 4 boys riding on the scooter, celebrating India's win in some cricket match. A little girl crying with a pouty bottom lip on her way to school. Aunties haggling over veggies with a vendor. Those huge tractors from the farms with veggies stackpiled so neatly on them. Vendors selling colorful baloons to kids. A 50-year old distinguished CEO-type licking an ice cream with the same joy as his 4-year old son. A pretty flower just growing out of a cracked concrete driveway.

If you like them, let me know, or just enjoy them. If you know someone who is capturing similar images, drop me a line, and I'd love to go see what they have to share.
