Cultural capital of India is not just a showcase of Indian culture and tradition, but it embraced Englishmen tastes to give it a different touch altogether. The city earned its name City of Palaces with its tall and elegant palatial mansions, spread out in many places to attract the crowd. And the one that made our must-see list is the famous Victoria Memorial. Unfortunately the doors were closed for Durga Puja and we could only enjoy its outside beauty. No worries...better luck next time...
Next one in our list was St. Paul's Cathedral church. Luckily, Durga Puja had no impact on its opening and the church was filled with people and prayers.
Next beauty was NOT in our list, but our camera couldn't control eating its image while driving. Just finding the name of this structure took me 10 minutes, and now I proudly present its name Right-away & Paid-for aka Whiteaway, LaidLaw & co :-)
At last, my long time wish to visit Mother's house fulfilled at Missionaries of Charities. We were greeted by two mothers at the entrance and the place felt like a temple. We peeked into Mother's small room upstairs, all it had was a small bed, world map, desk, crown of thorns and folders to sort out things for the day. It's heart touching to see Mother's small room above the kitchen. Though its location makes it the hottest room, Mother insisted no fan or AC be installed. Indeed it's a PALACE OF LOVE.
Our respectful obeisances to Mother Teresa and her great work.
