invisible delhi

invisible delhi..what am i talking about?

im talking about the real delhi..the essence of delhi, the identity of delhi..delhi which came into being 100s of years ago.

mughal's most treasured gift to delhi..yeah..tombs & monuments

who said the monuments no longer exists..all that exist are ruins of concrete??

i recently paid a visit to humayun tomb, and trust me, it is the most beautiful, peaceful and charismatic place in delhi..in fact delhi had never looked so wonderful.

if that was not enough, the place was lush green(though i would have preferred trimmed grass).

the place has everything right going for it.., from being situated near central delhi, to the tickets being priced at 10 per head..(only one request: please have drinkable water in the premises of the tomb..i couldnt explore it completely coz my didi was all dehydrated after just 30 minutes, although her high heels were also to be blamed for that).

being in central delhi, i was expecting to find some faces there, but it was real sad to see only foreigners admiring the beauty(entry ticket per head was 250 for a foreigner and 10 for an indian). ahh..are'nt we tired of the ac malls and crowded markets??

really hope that the time comes soon enough when we'l start admiring the invisible delhi, which might just soon become visible..

never trust me when i say i will reach on time, never ever trust me when i say il attend the lectures, but trust me for all that i have said about the tomb and its beauty.
