Delhi, the capital of mystical India, is a splash of different religions and cultures - a magical co-existence of people from different corners of the country. And, it truly is a riot of entertaining activities and fascinating events waiting to be explored and experienced. Infact,  very often, Delhi has been called and labelled as 'Dilli - Dilwalon ki ...' meaning this is the city of the big-hearted. And it is this large-heartedness that you will see - not only in the generosity of the people here but also in the city and its offerings, itself. It entices, ensnares and draws you in, much like the spider does to the fly; only this is a welcome trap. Soon, you would be enamored by Delhi and its charm and would join the multitude of its lovers. Religion, Food, Shopping, Activities, Events - indeed, there is so much to explore and experience here, that you will soon realize you have no hope of survival unless you have visited every tourist spot, savoured every local delicacy and explored every historical monument.

And, though I am thrilled to accept the award, I must admit that I am at a loss to understand what this award is for. So, I will simply take it at its literal meaning and assume that my blog is neat and as real as it can get. (Really?!) She is a book lover and her book reviews are a must read. also, not to mention her giving me this very unusual award.  Thank you so much, Georgia!

She had reached the end of her patience. Irritated. Frustrated. Defeated. That’s what she felt. The future looked bleak. She had given up completely. Obviously, there was no other way to end this. Without looking back, she looked down from where she was and leapt off. Landing on...

On a recent family trip to an out-of-town golf course, I had been designated as the unofficial photographer, and we had obtained permission for me to go on the golf course, despite not playing myself. I had a golf cart all to myself, and had promised to stay off the course; while my parents shared one and were on the course, playing. The golf course was vast and picturesque with lush greenery, hilly terrain with its sheer cliffs and steep valleys. I was busy taking photographs and videos while trailing them in my cart. The entire morning had remained uneventful. My parents continued to play golf. I continued to take photographs. Of the golf course, the flora, the hills, the blue skies and sometimes, if I felt generous, of my parents too.
