How would you feel when you reach the place you wished or dreamed of without knowing? Same thing happen to me in this incident. My friend from Mangolia Mrs. Khaleuna wanted to go to Dharmasala to meet Dalai Lama and listen to his preaching; here the exile government of Tibet also does their government work. She requested me and my other Nepali friend Ms. Neesha Tandukar.
It was a day of Holi Festival, when we reach Dharmasala and due to that I missed my Delhi Holi, but I was more excited to see Dharmasala, the exile government and Dalai Lama. I was unfortunate that the exile government security persons did not allow me to take my camera inside the monastery where Dalai Lama was preaching. I had to satisfy with Dalai Lama’s preach and to see him live in front of me.
I have heard the story about this historical place a lot; I have also seen pictures of it many times, watched it on television and read articles about it. While going through the pictures, I thought it was just a historical place and could not see anything to make myself believe that it is one of the seven wonders of modern world.
When I visited this place I came to know why it is called Seven Wonders of the World. It is not just a token of love from the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to his favorite wife Mumtaz but it can be considered as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Ottoman, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles.
I am still in Delhi and exploring every thing in this metropolitan. From the beggars to richest people of the world, from Metro train to rickshaw, from Rolls Royce to bull carts on the Delhi street.
I have always dreamed of going to some Hindu holy places like Vanaras, Haridwar and many popular destinations among Hindu. This time since I am spending couple of months in Delhi, finally I got opportunity to visit Haridwar 200 Km away from Delhi. We really had a memorable travel to Haridwar and had some exciting experience. We return at night where heavy fog was disturbing our driver to drive. We had our eyes wide open at night if he is driving safe. Thank god he was an experience driver and brought us back to Delhi safe. Continue reading »
Visiting ancient places is really fun and educational. You will know about the history of place and people. Red fort is one of the major landmarks of Delhi, India’s capital.
We were lucky that we happened to visit this landmark in the evening. Every evening they have a musical show there. They give a brief history on India and Red fort. It is fun to attend this show. The colorful light gives attractive view of the fort.
Guys if you happen to visit Delhi then don’t miss this show. For now enjoy the pictures that I took.

View of Bagmati River from Google Earth. Kopundole – Thapathali
May be you guys are asking, why this is want to know where is the land of Bagmati River? Bagmati river is there and the water is flowing over it. Do you think what is seeing now is only the part of the river?
I live in Kopundole near the Bagmati river bridge. I have been seeing this river since childhood and I have an emotional attachment with this river. We used to go there to play swimming may be 20 years back. It was clean till that time, but look at the face of the river after 20 years. It is a holy river for all the Hindus as it flows by the Pashupati Nath Temple. If you show the condition of the river to some tourist, I am sure they will ask you, “Do you call this river a holy river”.
Any way the thing I want to talk today is not about how clean is river or why we call is Holy River or should we stop calling Holy River. This river has been attacked by ever one.
