AN UNUSUAL BIRTHDAY NIGHT :P
This birthday I decided to keep my own plans on hold and wait for my hubby to shell out something on his own. After all why should I always keep planning !! :D I remained mum throughout the week; my husband knew in his mind that everything is set. One day before , when I was still mum, he understood that he has to take the matter in his own hands and therefore he started begging that I should think something :D I grinned ear to ear and then elaborated what I had in mind.
For dinner we went to the Park hotel. We both love this place and the ambience is amazing. After dinner , we decided to stroll around. The best thing about Delhi is that it is a perfect blend of technology and history!! I am simply mesmerised by the Mughal architecture!! So for a change , we decided to pay a visit to Tomb of Sikander lodi, the second ruler of Lodi Dynasty. Is not it unusual to visit a mausoleum on one's birthday?? Well, not for freaks like us!! It was pitch dark when we reached there and it was a totally different experience romping around the dimly lit ruins!!
After an early dinner, we set out for the tomb which was located on Lodi Road between the Khan market and Safdurjung tomb. The whole place was dimly lit which gave an eerie feeling of history :D
As it was almost half past eight, it was time for the place to close. The guards started blewing whistles to evacuate the place and we decided to explore this place sometime later; during daytime sans the eerie feeling!!
Though we didnot want to go back home. After all its my birthday!! So we headed towards our all time favourite eating cum shopping joint Dilli Haat.
It was time for Dilli Haat to shut down too!! So we had to head towards home..finally..no option :D And it was the perfect conclusion of my birthday!! This was my third after marriage and fourth after meeting my Mr right. Time indeed flies soo fast!!!
TRAVEL TIP: I have started adding this as a suggestion from my well wishers.
1.Visit here in broad day light
2.Delhi is uncomfortable during summers for those who are not used to
3.Carry plenty of water and umbrella or hat.
