Another Independence Day, just like another holiday, with its crowded marketplaces, food, selfies, balloons and smiles...

A general sigh for the general misdemeanor of everything this city and its distant charms touch...

Is it fair to attempt to capture within the crevices of ignored and broken columns the reflection of an entire city- a vast, bustling one? If not, then how do you explain those moments when you look at some tiny detail somewhere and sigh as the words "oh, Delhi" escape your mouth?

Just another overview of just another beautiful evening melting into warm shades and eventual rains, taking over the city and its satellites!

Weekday evenings in Delhi hit you like a pleasant surprise sometimes, especially when you visit one of the more "touristy" places. Having shed themselves of their customary hospitality, they become spaces for those who seek openness, even in the tiniest of alleyways- or rather, some kind of opening up of newer ways to look at the city, or to become a part of it more closely.

Of all the simple delights that Triveni Terrace Café has to offer to us, we found Beetroot Halwa the last time we were there, and oh, how much we loved this unique combination of healthiness and ghee they put in front of us!

What's your Triveni favorite?

During the peak of the monsoon, Delhi skies begin to enter the time of the year where they start drawing stories mapped in the shadows they throw over the city. With each day having layers and plots and twists and turns and characters of its own, you could sit down and wonder at the sky for hours on end.

The odd one out amongst a series of odd ones out, or, in other words, a pictorial representation of everything that can be individually talked of in Delhi!

Footpaths for baggage, and roads for weight.

It feels like the same spaces in Delhi hold to them an infinity of possible ways of being looked at. They seem to carry with them the infinities of ways they have been looked at like inscribed history, bringing to you photographs put on double exposure millions of times, or millions of melodies playing all at once.

On the note of the little gifts left by the interval monsoon rains, on the sides of the ghastly flooded roads and houses.

Because it feels like a Wenger's Deli waffle and burger treat kind of Sunday :)

What is your favorite food item from the Connaught Place legend?

29/06/2018

Washed out evenings at Indian Coffee House and the endlessly shifting shades of blue are the kind of peace you cannot relate to from a distance!

28/06/2018

Dilliwaalas bringing a little colour to the incoming shades of blues and greys of the monsoom :) would prefer these chhatris any rainy day :D

- because everything here is the best according to NASA? :P

Spotted in Hudson Lane.

23/06/2018

For the love of the part of the evening where everything in the city seems to be running in slow motion- even those who have just started with their days, their night jobs, and the orange of the street lights becomes a part of the city's twilight sky.

Charting the course of the history of the city with its prime leftovers: garbage piles.

Can you think of a better food hub than Hudson Lane to drive away your Monday blues with affordable, delicious desi café options? This Monday, we suggest that you try out the recently opened Epic Kitchen and Bar. With a good range of campus food on their menu, and a number of rare finds in the area, the spot might just be your new favorite! We loved their cheesy chicken rolls, which were basically done spring-roll style, and served with a mildly spicy cheese dip- the perfect finger food! And of course, we're all hearts to a place that does its honey chilli potatoes well- and here, they were served piping hot, super crispy and just bang-on flavourful!

We also loved their vegetarian tandoori platter, which had soya chaap, paneer and broccolis, all cooked in delicious sauces and masalas. While they could up the flavour when it comes to shakes, their paan shake is a must try- thick, and full of flavour! Oh, and they also have live music on weekends. So here's to another gem in North Campus!

Scorching heat might be the only determining factor for deciding all you do the entire day these days but when you've got a city like this with so many surprises to unfold, we'd say you get an umbrella and venture out!

And of course, who can stop the untroubled crowds from visiting the initially befuddling, and then the serene, soothing Lotus Temple?

14/06/2018

When the autowaala got no time for your excuses and just might be on a ride of his own with loud disco music, you know you're in Delhi!

12/06/2018

Just one of those magically vivid evenings right before the pin-drop silence of the breaking of the fast at iftar begins!

Picture taken at the majestic Jama Masjid.

11/06/2018

Delhi remains the city of unnamed monuments and graves than it is that of the named ones- most of them scattered around the ticketed ones, made part of their complex boundaries. If only there was some documentation, some idea we had about the leftovers of centuries old, of what they meant...

Picture taken near Qutub Minar.

Going around Delhi's monuments in the simmering June heat is a different kind of pleasure we've learned to take on over time. With absolutely no crowds, it's as if the building has been taken back to where it belongs, back to when it wasn't a ticketed sight, but just the building in itself, carrying the significance it did at the time.

Picture taken at our favorite, Safdarjung's Tomb. Do you go over Delhi in the heat or prefer indoors?

08/06/2018

Because if it's not a day for idiyappam and coconut milk, is it a day for the rest of it at all?! Here's to another reason for being grateful to the capital- authentic food from all over the country!

Do you ever wonder how long it'll be till the street vendor disappears from Delhi? How many years, decades- and everything moves to the malls? What a horror to imagine, isn't it, with all the haggling possibilities, all the ways the crowd moves between the streets?

Corners of the city in the centers of the city- always found fleeting in smoke.

Being away from Delhi feels like this: you forget how to look at ruins, because nowhere but Delhi is a slow ruining of all.

Apologies for the scattered posts, we're away from Delhi! :) Picture taken in Saket.

Something happens to your body as you enter Sunder Nursery. It’s as if, once you enter the gates of the nursery, followed by a usually deserted road right in the heart of the city where there is the busiest of traffic jams always present otherwise, you’re transported into a new visual dimension altogether, step-by-step. The recently inaugurated piece of historical heaven, which has made its way into popular Instagram and Facebook images, leaves such an impression on your mind that you can never find a place that compares to it. Read on to know glimpses of what Sunder Nursery might hold for you!

Do you ever end up blaming Delhi for the fact that you're always emotionally jumbled up? :P Such a strange city, or rather, such an estranging city; it's always making you feel alien to what it made you feel like just a couple of seconds ago, with all its rapidly shifting spaces and feelings and people and lack and immensity of love.

While the Yamuna River flows above its danger levels often during the monsoons, it also does something that we rarely witness in the city- it flows, like every river should, instead of gathering endless amounts of chemicals and appearing to be a city-wide still drain. How strange, that it is only once you're outside the city that you realise how the natural flow of the river is restricted by the space the city allows it to be, or all the space the city needs to murder it. #DelhiGate Video taken only a few kilometers from the city, from the newly inaugurated Eastern Peripheral Highway. #Delhi #Dilli #Delhiwala #DelhiExplorer #Delhigram #SoDelhi #India #Instagram #Heritage #IndiaPictures #DelhiHai #Delhidiaries #Delhi_Hub #IndiaStories #IncredibleIndia #LonelyPlanetIndia #NatGeo #City #Travel #BestofDelhi #CreativeImageMag #IndiaCulturalHub #Stories #skyporn
