I bring to you - The India Gate which was erected to commemorate the Indian soldiers who died in the WWI and the Afgan Wars.
"To the dead of the Indian armies who fell honoured in France and Flanders Mesopotamia and Persia East Africa Gallipoli and elsewhere in the near and the far-east and in sacred memory also of those whose names are recorded and who fell in India or the north-west frontier and during the Third Afgan War. "
The skies may have been overcast but that didn't spoil our (my) posing mood.
The fountain pond behind me is the place where kids and adults alike love to swim and play on a hot sunny day. There was a little boy who was running towards me bottom-half naked crying out "Photo photo". Talk about feeling awkward.

Standing in its presence left me awestruck.

Signature SMU Jump
Lovely Day to spend in the park.

Till it starts blowing up dust and causing huge sandstorms. But that didnt spoil the fun for the kids in the water...

even though the guys had to fight to battle the sandstorms...
it didnt spoil my fun or my initial intention of taking pictures.


After which, we headed to Khan Market to shop and have lunch. It started drizzling but we hurried to make our reservations at this world-famous cafe called "Big Chill" which has been recommended in all the travel guide books to Delhi.



The whole place was decorated with old movies and pictures of the old stars like Audrey Hepburn.
Jamorn and Frankenstein Monster.
Audrey Hepburn, Pink Ginger fizz Drink and Me.
Vikram and his choc ice-cream - obviously contented.


Jamorn looking famished with his food - chicken tossed with red wine cream sauce pasta.
MY lunch at 430pm. I had grilled chicken breast stuffed with asparagus sauce and forest mushrooms. It tasted so good, the rest of them thought it was grilled fish!
Melvin's Lamb-sticks. Haha they tasted like bak-kwa to me. Singapore-food-deprived!
Then came the desserts! Woohoo!!! No qualms about putting on weight here :)
Probably the reason why Big Chill has been successful in keeping its secret recipies.




Blueberry Cheescake. Texture: melt-in your mouth. Taste: Light. Effect: Perfect for a heavy meal.
Our choc mudpie. Words fail to express its effects. Definately too good to be true.
After all that rich food, we NEEDED to work it off by shopping! So here's Janpath.

Dinner at Yo! China: Xiao Long Baos called Chicken Dumplings. Not too bad for an Indian-Chinese Restaurant.


Cushion Covers for the house
Genie Lamp for daddy
Pink Baby-doll top for me

And much more presents :)
PS: Today is also the day where the world has decided on the New Seven Wonders. I bet Taj Mahal is one of them!!
