Of Pillars and Ancient Doorways
I visited Hauz Khas last year for the first time. Then I went back again in January and roamed around the ancient ruins. I liked this passage most from all the pictures I clicked. However it was not as quiet as the first picture will suggest. It was full of college going students who came with their guitar…
