GHIYATHU’D-DIN TUGHLUQ’S Tomb

This is a self built tomb with a mausoleum enclosed within high battered pentagonal stone walls, ,strengthened with bastions and looks like a small fortress. Initially it was surrounded by an artificial lake fed by the overflowing water of natural channels. It was connected with the Tughluqabad Fort by a path of stone which is presently intersected by the main road.
This monument was built during around AD 1322-1325 and still can challenge many monuments of India as far as architectural work is concern.

Wait for the green...

I was traveling towards Gurgaon from IIT gate, New Delhi… it was just another good day bright with white sun light and cool breeze. In my path, near Chhatarpur Metro station the incredible India, once more, forced me to take my camera out of bag… An Indian elephant is waiting for green signal at a crossing... An incredible wait for green :)

Grace of god!

No Name...@ M. P. Birla Planetarium, Kolkata

It was July last year... I was there at my home town, Kolkata (Calcutta).
During a nice rainy evening I took shelter at front gate of M.P. Birla Planetarium. It was a real nice experience of being tapped there in the mystical rays coming out of the hanging light...It was amazing.

I found no suitable name for this pic...so it is simply No Name.... What can be more mystical than having no name?

Thanks for spending time @ CLICK!

Rainy day and a story of exploration....

Last weekend was quite rainy forcing me to remain indoor for two consecutive days... soon chatting and story books proved ill-equipped to kill time and I started staring at bathing nature with some romantic thought (may be :P)... then suddenly I found three calves in our abandoned front gate....as the gate was open (thanks to the person who kept it open) three of them entered one by one and gave strange look at everything around ...soon their inquisitive mind forced them to explore the place and one of them started with a plant nearby and then one another....But the third one started with our iron gate... all together it was a lovely show.

what you say?
