Home Sweet Home

Some new things I added to the living room of my house recently.

Foot Over-bridge, Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital

Delhi after rains invites me to take my camera out for a walk. Last evening I decided to not go too far as something interesting caught my eye nearby. I decided to explore the foot over-bridge near Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. The bridge was built as a part of the preparations for the Commonwealth Games held last year.

The unit is swanky and the escalators installed are the main attraction. I was disappointed to find that the escalators are shut down on Sundays because of a low number of footfall. So I climbed the stairs.

Once I reached the bridge, I found these lamps fascinating. They reminded me of the Chinese hat that Po wore in Kung Fu Panda 2.



The bridge not only has escalators and regular steps but also elevators for the physically challenged. Not one to waste an opportunity of clicking a photograph of myself, I took this photograph on the shiny, rain-washed surface of the elevator (which was also shut down on the account of it being Sunday).


It was a sight to see lush green trees lining the roads while a slow but steady movement of cars kept the roads company.


I decided to pack my camera and go home for a cup of tea as the sun set behind the greenery of my beautiful Delhi!

Ray of Hope

For several years I have rarely fulfilled any of my New Year resolutions. This year I am happy to share with you all that I have managed to keep one of the many resolutions for the year 2011. Over the weekend, I bought a DSLR camera for myself with the help and guidance of a dear friend, Ashwini. The fact that I did keep one of the resolutions gives me a ray of hope that I might be able to keep some more in the months to come.

This is the first shot I took from my new camera. In the days to come I will flaunt my new camera and more clicks from the machine will follow.

Pink!

A pink lamp. If you think its too girly... I'll agree with you. I think the reason I clicked this photo, despite my friends jeering at me, is because i like pink and girly stuff. Its always nice to see a little touch of feminity here and there, I believe. This lamp takes its place proudly in the Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) outlet at Janpath.

Lamp, India Gate

A place to have some clean and safe fun is India Gate. Surrounded by plush lawns, this central Delhi monument, which marks the modern history of India, is just the palce to be during a nice cool day that we are having in Delhi today. Since I am stuck in office and trying to amuse myself by looking outside the window at the mild sun, I thought of sharing a part of my favourite spot in Delhi (where I'd rather be than in office, at least today :-)). This is one of the lamps, albeit without a light, which surrounds the main gate, which I have featured on the blog earlier.

Hope you are having a nice weather as well.

Greetings from Delhi.
