Sansad Bhawan: Parliament Of India

This is the view of the Sansad Bhawan, or the Parliament of India from Vijay Chowk. The Parliament is a circular building and is one of the many British architectural gems that adorn the Raisina Hill.

Wrapped Around Your Finger

I had decided to gift myself my first Diamonds, this Diwali. This took me to the jewelers, where I selected a ring and asked the jeweler to reduce the size of the ring according to my finger. He took out this whole bunch of rings to find my size. After trying several of them it was found that I am a size 13. :-)

Waiting for all of you to complement my ring! Hehehehe :D

Some Flowers And A Butterfly

Delhi is flowering again! And butterflies are here too. Good days are here after the scorching heat.

Diwali In Delhi

Happy Diwali to everyone across the globe. May the festival of lights brighten all our lives and bring prosperty to everyone.

There were no celebrations in our house this time, since my paternal grandfather passed away recently. No festivals will be celebrated in our house for the whole of this year.

The city however was as usual in its festive best.

Champions League: Delhi Daredevils vs Wayamba

These posters greeted us at Feroz Shah Kotla Grounds Sunday evening.



Here is Akshat, my younger brother, cheering for our city team, flag et al.
We were lucky enough to get the front row seats in a stadium which was jam-packed.


Here is a screen shot of the man, Dinesh Karthik, who made the match worthwhile, hitting 3 sixes in 3 balls.

Friends cheering and at the same time posing for the camera.

The fate of the match was decided in favour of the home team and most people left earlier than the presentation ceremony.
Fireworks over the floodlights.

What Fun!

October Theme Day: Contrast

I chose this particular photograph for today's theme, keeping the following definition of contrast in mind.

Contrast: The use of opposing elements, such as colors, forms, or lines, in proximity to produce an intensified effect in a work of art. 2. The difference in brightness between the light and dark areas of a picture, such as a photograph or video image.

You can see the North Block in the backdrop and the Rashtrapati Bhawan in the rear-view mirror.
