St. Thomas' Nursery School

This is where it all began. My earliest memories are of going to school. My mom tells me that unlike other children I never cried while going to school. While, others wanted to stay at home with their mothers, I was always glad to go to school. I have never doubted this narration since almost 23 years after I first went to school, I still feel like going back to not only this building but to the loving care my teachers gave me and the freedom of expression that the school as a whole drilled into me. St. Thomas' School, I love you and miss you.

Off To A Picnic

School children I spotted going for a picnic. I loved seeing these little kiddies in their uniforms, holding hands and singing rhymes all excited for the picnic. They were excited and were shouting their songs to decibel levels that could prove to be injurious. But I guess it was worth it. Reminded me of school picnics I used to enjoy in my days. Delhi weather is just right for a lovely picnic. Do lemme know if you want to join me for a picnic. We can arrange a big gathering on December 25.

Fine Arts Class

An art class going in the open grounds of Qutab Minar complex. These are students of 12th standard, working on their final submissions for the fine arts subject. They were drawing and painting beautiful images of the Minaret and the other structures in the complex.

Qutb Minar, Mehrauli

I started my day today with a 20 kilometre drive to Mehrauli to visit Qutb Minar, the minaret that symbolizes Delhi, just like Eiffel Tower is synonyms with Paris. The morning trip was fun as I returned to the monument after 20 odd years. I had first gone to the Qutb complex with the school trip when I was in class 1. It is as beautiful as I remember.

Below is a plaque that tells the visitors all about Qutb Minar.
