India... Part 1

I'm Back... I left for India on the 2nd of December and came back on the 14th. It was a working trip, but I got to do a lot of touristy things too. India is a beautiful place and the people are also so beautiful. I took almost a 1000 pictures so I'm splitting the trip into 2 blogs. This one is the first half of the trip.

Day 1
The first day we did some site-seeing around Delhi.
This is Rasoul, Sudeep and I in front of our hotel.
First day's breakfast.
Streets of Delhi.

Old Fort
Old Fort in Delhi was way cool. It was built in the 16 th Century. The Fort walls are octagonally shaped and extend about a 1.5 miles and are 110 feet height.


Red Fort
Emperor Shah Jahan built the Red Fort after he shifted the capital from Agra to Delhi in 1638. It was called Red Fort because it's surrounded by red sandstone.

This was the main gate to Red Fort.
This is Rasoul, Sudeep and I in front of the thrown in the Red Fort.
