Papadvaala @ India Gate, Delhi

This photographs was clicked at India Gate during beginning of this year. These Papads are very popular in Delhi and can be bought on red lights as well !!! During early days, I used to avoid such things which are sold in open, because of Delhi pollution and dirt all around. Soon I realized that they keep these covered with a plastic piece. Anyway, all these are just excuses... Now I like them and eat wherever I find...

Why are you clicking my photograph? : This is what the expression says !!!

Family time at India Gate in Delhi !!!


If there is some special occasion, or some guests are visiting you and you have no idea what to do... India Gate is the place to reach and have some fun during evenings !!! This is what I used to hear about this place that India Gate is most popular place in Delhi and especially it's best for family outings. I think it's still true if we ignore more frequent visits to Air-conditioned Malls...

A little form of Lutyen's Architecture @ India Gate, Delhi

I am sure that you will be able to recognize this Lamp if you have visited India Gate or President's House in Delhi !!! These are made up on red stone and carved to give this shape... Most of the buildings in this area are made up of same stone.. Like President's House, India Gate, Museum of Modern Art etc...


This shot was taken during a lovely evening during winters of 2010 and other photographs can be checked at http://phototravelings.blogspot.com/2011/02/india-gate-alive-at-night.html

Golgappe Vaala @ India Gate, Delhi

In India and specially in North part, Golgappas are very popular and for many folks, any outing with Golgappas is incomplete and useless ! So it's not hard to locate any stall of Golgappas in a market, around parks or some popular places to visit. This Photograph is taken near India Gate and these folks keep walking with all the stuff to serve people who come here during the evening !!!

Female Hawker selling Chan-jor garam and Chips @ INDIA GATE, Delhi

Its very common to hawkers at some main places in India, selling some chutar-putar snacks, tea-coffee, golgappas, chips etc. Sometimes its irritating when some of the folks just keep following you to sell some stuff but that is not very common. But overall I like the idea as it gives many people a way to earn money through some hard work. I can imagine how difficult it could be to earn money in big cities of countries like India. Some people opt for short-cuts and illegal ways of earning good amount of money, which anyway impact others in negative sense. And these people try to earn their bread-n-butter through hard-work and I love it !!!

India Gate is very popular among tourists who visit Delhi and of-course Delhites love this !!! During summers, its most popular place to hang out during evenings.. Youngsters love to hang out during the night with their friends, while families like to spend evenings with their friends and relatives... Many times, people bring dinner to the lawns around it and go back during late night !!! India Gate is always crowded with people and many events takes places around this...

India Gate @ Delhi, INDIA : Created of Bokeh

Recently I got Nikkor 50mm 1.8 and it has wonderful bokeh !!! During one of my recent visits to India gate, i tried few shots and here is one of them !!! Many times I used to see circular bokeh in the photographs and my first lens was not able to give those results.. bokeh points were always elliptical... Then I read about this concept of bokeh and these are very much dependent on optics of the lens which vary lens to Lens... I have also tried the fish-eye and it's simply wonderful !!!
