Qutub Minar - A witness of unfulfilled ambition

Updated on:
At times many monuments are such spellbinders that they justify obsessional ambitions and Qutub Minar is one of them. I will tell you later that how this red brick beauty enchanted Alauddin Khilji at that extent that he gave birth to the remnants of Alai Minar. But, for now, let's laud this majestic minaret with this post and be ready to be blown away by its magnificence. In spite  of being my third visit, I was as thrilled as I used to be in my first one. Because,  this time I was all ears to understand it's facts, see its charm with all my eyes open and keep my brain open to grasp all knowledge. Like always,  I was so impatient to catch a glimpse of this monuments and it was again worth it.  Kufic Inscriptions on Qutub Minar What a curvy 237.8 feet (72.5) tall structure situated in the Mehrauli area of Delhi, India!

If you live in Delhi or NCR(National capital region) and want to leave your all weekdays' anxiety behind Damdama lake is the faultless place to visit.

Agrasen ki Baoli : A stepwell from Mahabharata era

Updated on:
                                      What an awesome day it was when I visited 'Agrasen ki Baoli'. Such a tranquil place that makes you feel its presence in the midst of the metropolitan city's chaotic lifestyle. I always feel thrilled while en route to such historical monuments and what exactly I had felt when I saw Agrasen ki Baoli very first time. Unlike other baolis, this baoli is only 60 meters long and 15 meters wide which is not that much gigantic. Still, its rustic charm compels you to adore it. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) which comes under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958 has given the designation of a protected monument to this baoli. This place is situated on Hailey road which is near to Connaught Place, Delhi.                        It hasn't had any historical record of its establishment; nevertheless, it is believed that legendary king from Mahabharata era had built this baoli. The current arc
