Lunch at the Main Bazaar Paharganj
by l_joo
The size of shops and restaurants here are so small for 6 tables or less. The one in this photo is a restaurant for sure, that's why I walk in to have my lunch. The reason I pick this one was because it has big menu with obvious price list on the wall. I sit down in a very compact environment full of aging paints and messy looking ceiling. My lunch is served in a big stainless steel plate with 5 compartments full of non-meat foods. The name of this meal is Thali, it cost 35 rupees each, very tasty. They wash plates on the floor beside the drain and if they wipe, they wipe with a piece of multi-purpose cloth for table, sweat, body, etc.

Humayun's Tomb
by Nprawira
Humayun was the 2nd Mughal emperor and is buried in the Nizamuddin Complex along with his wives. The tomb is in perfect symmetry seen from all sides. There is a single pathway leading to the tomb enclosed within the outer walls that is lined with trees on both sides, making the journey a tranquil and comfortable one amidst the chaos outside. This is an appropriate precursor before visiting the granddaddy of all Indian tombs, the Taj Mahal, since the latter gained inspiration from the former.
