Dargaah of Hazrat Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya & Hazrat Amir Khusro – Sweets at Nizamuddin basti : Quick video trip :)

Went to Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Dargaah in Delhi with a bunch of friends.. squeezed that experience into a 3 minute fast-paced video trip here 🙂 Apart from the divine presence in this neighborhood there’s another thing that unites people ..food 🙂 Sharing some quick glimpses of that as well. Hope you like it. Cheers!

Some “tasty” Fun at Work for a Noble Cause :)

Some awesome folks at my workplace got together to cook some simple yet interesting dishes..put up food stalls..and the fund collections went for charity 🙂 We even invited a ‘shakarkandi‘ (roasted sweet-potatoes) wala to host his stall within the office premises…and ofcourse we all pretended to be food-show TV anchors while tasting the food 🙂 Was fun…
