The first time I stumbled upon Lodhi garden was in the summer of 2007. I
was done with my weekend class at the Alliance Francaise and was
searching for an auto. It was 39 degrees ,the heat was literally
radiating off the road, the usually pleasant walk down Lodhi road was
now torturous and to my dismay there was no auto in sight. I decided to
walk back to Alliance , figuring the library would be more sympathetic.
While crossing the road I noticed a beautiful heritage structure behind
the rusting gates of Lodhi garden . The garden- colourful as spring
looked quite inviting. I was auscultating whether I
should ditch my plan and explore the garden . I'm glad I did. Every weekend after this I would spend an hour or two after class here, find a peaceful spot and complete
my homework...
Lodhi Garden, New Delhi
What a relief to the digitally blind eye to savor the greens of Lodhi garden. It for sure features among my favorite hangouts in Delhi. O second thoughts, not really hangouts for I prefer to be there alone soaking in the anonymity that it offers . Loved all the photographs! :)
