To each their own

A still from one of my favorite places in India... Old Delhi

Every saturday Hindus offer Mustard oil, and earthen lamps with mustard oil to Shani Dev in India. Shani is one of the "Navgrah", 9 planets and is the elder brother of Yamraj, God of death! Shani is probably one of the most feared ones however if placed favorably in a horoscope does wonders!

All in One Weekend

This weekend was such a tiring but satisfying weekend!

Went to

- Chandni Chawk in Old Delhi for lights, and wall-clocks

- Khari Baoli in Old Delhi for Candles and Dry-fruits

- Sadar Bazaar near Old Delhi for Crackers and Fireworks

- Cottage Emporium in Central Delhi for solid wood furniture

- Uttar Pradesh Shilpotsav in NOIDA for handicrafts and snacks

- Jwala Heri in West Delhi for random Diwali shopping

Every single time I visit the markets in Old Delhi, I love that place more than the last time!

Yaari Dosri Taaza Maaza...

Making friends is easy... take a picture show it to the person, and ask if he thinks there is a picture that I can take... and make sure you thank him too :)

the formula works and I know it by experience... because I now have a new set of friends...

Bimal Kumar... called Kaliya... has a chai ki dukaan near the Khari Bawli T point, Fatehpuri Masjid, Chandni chawk..

Kishan, the cool dude who handles the shoes at the Shani Dev mandir near the Metro Station, Chandni Chawk...

Bitto... who sells fruits near the Tpoint as mentioned above...

Munna, the pan wala, who knows that me and Aro do not want the hard supari in our Meetha Pan...

Anil Yadav, who sells flowers in the Chandni Chawk Phool Mandi... and looking for a job outside...

And Munna, told someone who asked what and who we were... that we are writers and photographers, and thats our line... and that we are writing a book... and we are thinking that we should actually...

Photos coming soon...

and if you think you are a foodie, i might make you rethink about it...

Happy SWEET New Year....

Whats the best way to start a new year in firang land?

Well... don't think about it much...

the best way to start a new year in Firang Land is to have देसी घी के मोतीचूर के लड्डू from कन्वार्जी in चांदनी चौक, पुरानी दिल्ली

Yes..I just had two from the kg pack that I have to enjoy in the coming days...

Thank you Amit for this... The new year could not get better than this... thanks bro...
