Government needs to Reflect

The government needs to reflect. The handling of the corruption in the country needs to be done in a better manner. Hopefully, this phase of the campaign initiated by India Against Corruption will yield results and the ministers sitting in the North Block will be able to take sensible decisions.


Here is the Parliament of India, where our ministers sit. These days they function only to pass bills which increase their salaries. make it compulsory for government officials to greet the MPs and MLAs with certain courtesies and ensure that the taxpayers money is used in the worst possible manner.

Lights, Camera, Celebrations!

As a part of the Republic Day celebrations the Raj Path (the straight road connecting India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhawan, the official residence of the President of India) and the buildings at the end of the road and nearby are decorated with lights from January 26th to January 29. India celebrates its Republic Day on January 26 and the celebrations come to a close with the Beating Retreat, held on January 29.


India Gate adorned the tri-color (these are the colors of the flag of India) and looked beautiful.


Below is the dome of the Rashtrapati Bhawan as seen from the Central Secretariat.


This is the Raisina Hill, Rashtrapati Bhawan in the middle, flanked by the North and South Blocks on either side.

And up next is the Parliament of India, looking like a jeweled crown.


I had a fabulous time walking from India Gate to Raisina Hills with my mom and brother. There were many families out in full strength enjoying the cool evening.

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.

North Block, Raisina Hill

This is the North Block, which houses the Ministry of Finance and the Home Ministry. It sits pretty on the right of the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President's office, on the Raisina Hill. Infested by monkeys and I am not referring to politicians, this beautiful building built by the Britishers as the seat of power, continues to house the government after more than 60 years of India's independence.
