Heritage monuments in Lodhi Gardens, New Delhi

Lodhi Gardens in New Delhi was landscaped in 1930 by Lady Wellington. The park is a favourite with morning walkers and yoga enthusiasts. The park also houses heritage monuments of the Lodhi era, remnants of the decorated walls of these structures taking us to a period in history when rulers spent money and labour in creating tombs and mosques. Intach ( Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Hertage) organizes heritage walks in the Gardens regularly.

South Korea-Modernity and Tradition

The synthesis of the modern and the traditional that S.Korea has achieved is remarkable. S. Korea comes through as a Society which is truly at peace with its tradition, culture and modernity.


South Korea as a country has many similarities with India and their fast transformation from a developing country to a developed country is inspiring.

This theme inspired my documentary on Seoul called "Seoul-Where Modernity Bows to Tradition"




Here are some still photographs from South Korea

Barcelona, Spain

I visited Barcelona in 2005, a short three day visit. The city is mesmerising for a tourist. The creativity of the place seems to get into you in more ways than one. There is much more to the place than what I have captured in my camera.
