Gurgaon Roads
The roads in my part of the world can get incredibly congested and usually a lair of dust hangs over it. But on some days it turns to magic. On those days I try to pause and click a few pictures. This post is part of Sky Watch Friday. Do check them out, they rock!
Evening Glow at Hauz Khas Lake, New Delhi, India
When I visited the Hauz Khas area in South Delhi for the first time in October 2012 I certainly did not expect to see a lake right in the middle of the chaotic city that is Delhi. But there it was right in front of my eyes. I decided to spend some time exploring the…
