Welcome to India , namely New Delhi ,
India is the South Asian nation among the largest in the world,
and also the second in the world for the number of inhabitants .
The megalopolis is vast and consists of a tangle of narrow streets ,
in which , however, it’s nice to get lost , discovering some of the hidden treasures. Rich palaces, monuments and parks … go and see a little between its beauties !
Chandni Chowk ( Silver Street ) ,
was at one time the largest emporium of fragrances of the east, today it is a grandiose and colorful market
India Gate, this is a monument erected to commemorate the fallen soldiers
during the First World War,
has the form of a triumphal arch and is 42 meters high , under the arch is the tomb of the unknown soldier .
The Qutb complex , is nothing more than a collection of ancient monuments ,
among which the minaret Qutb , it is precisely the most famous minaret in the world,

so named because dl color of the sandstone with which it was built ,
This citadel is another Indian beauty Unesco World Heritage Site ,
allows access to different buildings :

We want to remember a wonderful party ,
with which the Hindu tradition
celebrates the spring , we’re talking about the festival of Holi , a festival of colors unforgettable !
We also remember the Rajpath Avenue ,
the most imposing avenue of the capital, is considered a sacred place because it is here that Gandhi was cremated

“Aaaaaaancora tu….ma non dovevamo vederci più?” Cantava Battisti…ma pensandoci su forse sarebbe più opportuno accompagnare il tuo commento con una bellissima canzone di Marco Masini :))
Comunque, noto con piacere che hai deciso di tornare sui tuoi passi e continuare a seguirmi con tanta dedizione; ne sono felice! Del resto, come diceva Indro Montanelli, “non c’è alleato più prezioso di un nemico cretino” (anche questa l’ho copiaincollata dal web! scusami)
Quanto alla foto, stavo preparando un articolo su Bucartest ed erroneamente la foto è finita in quello di Nuova Delhi, ma per fortuna ci sei tu che mi fai gratuitamente da referee!
A presto, cara Nina. Sono sicura che tornerai a trovarmi a breve.

Come potrei abbandonarti???Il tuo blog mi fa ridere a crepapelle!
tiramisu1 says
Ah no infatti, è che l’altra volta avevi detto che non avresti più perso il tuo tempo sul mio blog e mi ero spaventata. Per fortuna che sei tornata Ninuccia.
E comunque fattela sta risata, Risus abundat in ore stult… ah no Ninorum!
P.S. vedo che migliori, ormai ogni 10 minuti mi scrivi. Ma non c’è il sole in calabria oggi??? Troppo computer fa male alla vista!
