First Alone Time

March 19, 2012

Well, my skin's allergic reaction was getting worse. The tablet and the cream, originally prescribed by the doctor for my neck allergy, was working. I was sure of it since my neck and collarbone area has shown signs of improvement. Unfortunately, I started having rashes on my arms and legs as well.

First Prescription

American Diner Night

March 18, 2012

After a very long day with the tombs, the jazz and the art, I spent Sunday holed up in my room. Well, actually, I was supposed to go with Amanda, Rosie and Julie (Sue as well?) to the Gandhi Smriti, the house where Mahatma Gandhi stayed until the time he was assassinated. The thing was, when apparently they were knocking at my room, I didn't hear a thing. I blamed my iPod-headset-used-for-Aspi-movie-marathon for that.

So, for the evening, I decided to come with them instead to the American Diner, one of the non-members-can-access food places at the India Habitat Center (Eatopia, the other one, is like a food court, not in an SM kind of way).

Can you see the turban? The boy's turban is smaller (top knot)
than the man's (all around). Probably due to hair length.

It's like the design in Diner Dash. hehe
Clippings and photos are of Bee Gees I think.

Love Intoxication Exhibit at India Habitat Center

March 17, 2012

So, after the Jazz Festival, we headed to our home base area, Lodhi Colony. We stopped at the India Habitat Center as Julie (or was it Chris) wanted to withdraw some money before heading for dinner. So, while they do that, me and Kevin went for the on-going art exhibition (free to enter!) dubbed Love Intoxication.

Delhi 2nd Jazz Fest at Nehru Park

March 17, 2012

So, after all that tomb-raiding, you'd think we probably have no more energy left in our body. Well, yeah. Maybe. But, since we already planned to head out with Chris and Kevin, Julie and I managed to muster enough energy. It's a Jazz Festival and it's free entertainment! What more will you ask for?

Lights lead the way to the event venue within Nehru Park

Jogging at Lodhi Park

I got excited with the tomb-raiding day posts that I forgot to share the photos of my run with Amanda at Lodhi Gardens!

She said she's a slow runner. Well, I'm much slower!

Humayun's Tomb: intricacy for royalty

March 17, 2012

Humayun's Tomb pre-dates the Taj Mahal. It is said that Taj Mahal's domed structure follows after the design of Humayun's Tomb. FYI. :)

First Floor: Several of these arched window-ways
(or something) have a cenotaph

Upon climbing the stairs for the first platform, you'll already see some cenotaphs in arched window areas. However, it is pretty obvious that most of these arches has been restored (aka looks so spanking white).

Oh yes, climbing is popular among the tombs

Humayun's Tomb: first garden-tomb of India

March 17, 2012

The West Gate was actually more than just an entrance gate or portal. The structure also housed the exhibit on Humayun's Tomb's history, architecture and even a scaled diorama of the entire complex, showing smaller surrounding monuments.

This is it! Finally going inside!

The Tomb is a massive structure with marble dome on top. According to the illustration at the exhibit, Emperor Humayun would likes to feed pigeons perched on structures similar to the smaller ones (grey dome; I forgot what these are called. dang!) to feed pigeons.

Oh hello there!
