I had some work around Lodhi Road yesterday. As I was walking around getting things done - moving from the post office to the metro station, within my eye's reach was Safdarjung's Tomb. I've passed it many many many times, but usually I've been in a car or in a hurry.
Today neither was the case.
So I said, let's go in and see it. I regretting not having a camera, but since this was an unscheduled visit I thought, there will always be photo opportunities later!!
It is a small structure - but magnificent none the less. The gardens that surround it are lovely, and yes, here you will find heroes and heroines sitting under the shade of palm trees romancing eachother (towards the back of the mausoleum, in case any one is interested).
It's always a little eerie seeing a tomb. The dome above echoes all the little noises that surround it, and you feel like you are intruding on someone's slumber.
You almost forget that you're in the 21st century.
