Hi there readers, The prompt came up as Wanderlust 🙂 and they asked about the places which made me feel different and amazing. The place that comes up readily, will be Delhi. The hustle bustle, the crowd, the historic monuments, the food and uniquely, the company. It all amalgamated to be one of the most amazing trip of 7 days. I wrote about them in … Continue reading Wandering through Delhi
These were the last two stops on our list, and there was a specific condition I had for the Bangla Sahib gurdwara, I wanted to visit it at night.

Post my visit to the Red Fort, I made my way to the Lotus Temple, on the other side of the town, using the metro.

The Lotus Temple is a Baha’i House of Worship, which, being in line with the … Continue reading TTL: Delhi: The Lotus Temple

What I did manage … Continue reading TTL: Ahmedabad over the weekend
