Swimming Lessons

On Saturday, I went to Lodi Garden to meet friends from ClickCraft after a long gap of nearly six months. Of the 50 odd people who had been sent an invite for the photowalk, three of us fought the urge to sleep a little longer and went to the gardens to go shutter-crazy.

The lesson I learnt while it drizzled on the green gardens, is that mothers of all species are the same. They wake their children up early in the morning and don't lose a minute or miss an opportunity to teach. Was fortunate enough to see these mothers giving their little ones swimming lessons :-)

Purana Qila

Since rains had blessed us in Delhi over the last week, we were optimistic enough to believe that the good luck will continue and our Twitter photo-group -Clickerati decided to visit Purana Qila. Purana in Hindi means Old and Qila means Fort. This is the old fort, and dates back to the time of Mahabharata. Afghan ruler Sher Shah had added to the structures of the fort after he invaded India and made Delhi his capital.

The sun was in its full glory and clouds it seemed had gone on a vacation. Braving the sun, we took our cameras and began clicking our subject.
The ruins of Purana Qila have a romance about them, as they are located at the centre of the ever busy city- Delhi. These are an epitome of calmness and stillness.

Some segments of the fort have been restored and now look as good as new. This minaret caught my eye and I imagined Rapunzel letting her hair down.


There is a mosque within the fort and I had one of the Clickerati members-Devna, pose for me as I tried to capture the reflection of the mosque in her sunglasses.I will be posting more photographs from the Purana Qila soon. :-)
