Lotus Temple Seen from the VFS UK New Delhi Office Building

Posted on November 10, 2009

Lotus Temple, New Delhi
I took this picture after I came out of the VFS UK New Delhi Office in Nehru Place today. I have cropped it heavily as the zoom in the basic point and shoot is not much. I somehow like pillars that I have captured in the foreground by accident. Honest, I have no recollection of framing them consciously!

Coming to getting my own picture, the last two times I got my photograph clicked at the VFS office itself. This time the gentleman operating the booth was a few minutes late and then he told me, “the off season for UK has started that is why you see so little crowd today.”

They took my form, so that means they are going to process the application. Let us see when do I get it.

    I have being to the office once (not for me ofcourse) and the view from there was marvelous.These pillar are not yet eyesores, but sooner they will be. But the sight from a moving metro will even be more spectacular.

    अर्थ का अनर्थ – that is what happens when you write Hindi in Roman script. Ramesh, her name is "Chhavi" (छवि), which means "reflection". "Key" is "chaabhi" (चाभी).

    Nilesh they have a long term vias but I guess he fee is in excess of 40,000 rupees.Ramesh the trip is still a little uncertain. And of course I was serious about the book, now on the other hand the same can't be said about you when you talk about my pictures :DRush no, it was 10.00 am and I thought the light was already quite harsh :(Tarun thank you so much for sharing your observations.Thank you Doli.Fida 😀 not that is giving a spin to my words!Atul thanks for that clarification, I was somehow missing that everytime Ramesh posed that question.

    Trying for a long term Visa for UK does not seem worth the money spent in fees. You may apply for a 5yr or 2yr visa but even after paying the fees for 5yrs you may just be given a 2yrs visa. This happened to a close friend who had traveled almost on alternate years to UK 3 times, before he thought of applying for the 5yr visa.Wish you have a good trip!

    Fida Ramesh is planning to write a book sometime in future. This started in response to a suggestion I made, that was Ramesh write a book! :DNamita, I too have heard of that and anyway my visas are determined by my employers. So that is one less decision to make. 😀
