Mellow Yellow Monday #165 - Rashtrapati Bhavan at Sunset - March 19, 2012

I had a very brief visit to New Delhi, much of it spent in the efforrs to bring
forensic nursing to this part of the world.  My friend and colleague, Virginia
Lynch, and I managed a whirlwind rickshaw ride about the city and arrived
at Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace as the sun was beginning to set.


Rashtrapati Bhavan, is the largest residence of any head of state in the world.

    1. Only about two weeks left for me, Hitesh, and I am so sad that we did not meet. I find myself near tears all the time now....mourning my departure, grateful for all the people I did see and the places I visited. I've been happier here than anywhere in my life and I just wish I had the budget to return. I am going o try. Then you will be first on the list.

    1. It was, indeed, spectacular but I had no time to really explore. I needed six months in India, my original plan....and I hope to come back...really, I'd like to spend my final years, half time here and half time in the US.

  4. So much in India has been awesome. I have cherished my four months here .... hope to be back every year I have left of my life, if I can, somehow, manage it.

  7. Carmen I can't believe I haven't kept up with your extraordinarily evocative adventures - I suppose I was busy having some of my own in Asia... but this omission shall be easily remedied. Looking forward to catching up on all the mirch masala :)
