a fair with culture


One day weekend started with waking up at 11 AM and logging straight onto gtalk which in turn made a JIT plan in less than 60seconds.

By 12:30 we were on the road off the Surajkund Mela *yay achievement*

As we were progressing towards the venue, comes in a call, redirecting us to Tughlaqabad Fort (which we were convinced was right behind Surajkund)

Quick trivia – the fort was built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of Tughlaq dynasty, of the Delhi Sultanate of India in 1321, which was later abandoned in 1327 *wiki*

After couple of hours of mindless jokes, innumerable portraits and cooked up stories we moved towards our initial planned destination.

In the backdrop of Surajkund Lake held a colorful festival showcasing the artists, painters, weavers and sculptors from Andra Pradesh for this year and its culture was shown in colors, materials, architecture, furniture and decorations along with mouth watering food and some amazing foot tapping rhythms .

By the end of the day our legs were aching with pain but on our faces we had a smile which needed no explanation.

what a way to spend an awesome Sunday!!
