A young bunch of Bangaloreans explore Delhi.
It was a beautiful sunny day to walk through the Qutub complex. While the
Minar is the most popular structure here, the complex has a host of
other treasures - one of the 1st mosques that was infact made from
material of hindu & jain temples, the Smith's folly that was once
atop the Qutub Minar, the mysterious iron pillar that doesn't rust, the dome-less but
exquisite tomb of Illtutmish, a half
constructed minar close by - the Alai Minar & so much more...
The few hours spent at the beautiful complex completely transported us to a different era. We strolled as if spellbound, took loads of photographs,
were greeted by parrots perched on the old ruins, we wondered aloud how
such a tall structure was constructed in the 12th century without cranes & todays hi-tech machinery, how a 6000kg
iron pillar was erected here...
We ended this memorable day with a drink at one of the
restaurants overlooking this wonder.
With Mohit, Kinnary & Rohit
