The Capital and Other Places

The trip there and back was nice enough although my stomach did not like the ride too much. Still! Pictures! :D

Below are some of the pictures (of the locations) sneaked in between pictures of family and myself posing horrendously at Places of Sight-Seeing. :P

The Qutub Minar! Kindly refer to your middle school history book for details regarding who built it, for what purpose and when. I'm just giving you the name and picture. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! :P

This is the Bahai Temple also called the Lotus Temple. I vomited on its stairs while descending. You probably didn't want that piece of information. :P But wait, let me explain. My dad dragged us out sight-seeing at two in the afternoon right after a heavy lunch after a tiring train journey. What else do you expect? Still, the people who work there are pretty nice, since this lady let me use the staff washroom to clean up. :)

A part of the Observatory at the Jantar Mantar! And the yantras are still used today. Seriously, you can imagine how talented the architects and scientists were back then!

Yes! There is actually such a place, I kid you not, readers! It lies on the way to Agra and we stopped there for a rejuvenating syrupy concoction they pass off as masala tea. :P

The entrance to the Agra Fort.

A view from one of the balconies of the Agra Fort. :)

This would be the Resident smart scurrying Squirrel of the Agra Fort. Tee hee. :P

The oft quoted, oft mentioned Poetry in Marble. Need I say more?
