I went to Delhi in February and took a short tour around the city, although I stayed in Delhi for more than 6 months in 2009 I saw more in the 6hr whirlwind tour this time around..:). I started from Delhi-6 at around 11 and finished by 5 at Lotus temple..went to India Gate again at around 8 for ice cream.A brief glimpse of what I saw..

Beautiful. You seem to be a great observer and click pictures of interesting stuff. Wow, this look of delhi was refreshing.

wow nice. there is originality in those photos. My favourite is the man drinking the tea and the black and white one

Fantastic! Loved the pictures, well done and thanks for sharing them with us.

Beautiful Pics, Robi. Some of these shots are outright stunning.

Well (at the risk of hijacking your thread:p), here are some pics of Delhi I took on a trip in March 2009. Though I don't have your photographic skills (or equipment) hope these will add value to the thread:

Starting off with some pics of the red fort:

Robi - Wrong section ! Travelogues it should be. MODS - please move this.

Pics are awesome by the way. The Lotus Temple is breathtaking and perfect.

I have to ask you - what camera are you using ? And Lens ? I assume it's a DSLR.

The next time you're in town, do send a PM, we NCR Bhpians are a pretty hospitable lot & will take good care of you, be it 6 hours or 6 minutes ;)

Very good compositions, most of the pics have something interesting happening in them. I enjoyed looking at these.

Good Snaps, Thanks for sharing

I was wondering how you could visit all the monuments in just 6 hours

Well its pretty simple actually..I hired a local car for the day with a driver who knew the directions to all places I wanted to visit. I didn't enter any of the monuments be it red fort, lotus temple, the main area in humayun's tomb thus avoided the long queues and saved precious time. I was traveling alone (no one to slow me down) and just had my camera with me (no bags so no time lost at security checks). I also didn't stop for lunch, snacks etc. instead I had a heavy breakfast and carried some water and snacks in the car.
Then first stop was Raj Ghat for around 15 mins (though the actual tour began from Chandni chowk). I got off near the Red Fort entrance and hired a cycle rickshaw for a proper tour around Chandni Chowk (it was the my lucky day as even the rickshaw guy when to stop and slow down for pictures...all the Chandni Chowk pictures are from the rickshaw). I didn't even get down once except at Jama Masjid. Next up was the Rashtrapati Bhawan and India Gate. Then it was time for the Humayun's Tomb. I then went to Qutub Minar before finally ending the tour at Lotus Temple. (11am -5pm thereby avoiding office traffic)

@vkochar: I used a Canon 500D with a 10-20mm Sigma lens for the Delhi Pictures!

What does yeh to bada toingg hai mean? Some kind of slang?

:D

This line ("Ye to bada toing hai") was used in the advertisements by a company of undergarments. It is one of those ads which were banned by the I & B Ministry in the year 2008.

Nice pictures Robimahanta.
Loved the Chandni Chowk and the Lotus temple pictures.

@Predatorwheelz,
Yeh bada toing hai is a nice capture of the Qutub Minar.
And, Love your signature! :D
