Pigeons over Ashok Pillar
January 2nd, 2012 No comments »Shot these birds at the Qutub Minar Complex in New Delhi.
The iron pillar of Delhi, India is a 7 meter (22 feet) high pillar in the Qutub complex which is notable for the composition of the metals used in its construction.
The pillar, which weighs more than six tons, is said to have been fashioned at the time of Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (375–413), though other authorities give dates as early as 912 BCE. The pillar initially stood in the centre of a Jain temple complex housing twenty-seven temples that were destroyed by Qutub-ud-din Aybak, and their material was used in building the Qutub Minar and Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque. The pillar and ruins of the temple stand all around the Qutb complex today. The pillar is 98% pure wrought iron, and is a testament to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian ironsmiths. It has attracted the attention of both archaeologists and metallurgists, as it has withstood corrosion for over 1,600 years in the open air.
Its a popular belies if you can touch your hands backwards on around the pillar you wish can come true but now there is a fence around the pillar so you cannot do that .

Hong Kong International Airport
November 24th, 2011 No comments »Hong Kong Airport, originally uploaded by Swami Stream.
Hong Kong International Airport (IATA: HKG, ICAO: VHHH) is the main airport in Hong Kong. It is colloquially known as Chek Lap Kok Airport (赤鱲角機場), being built on the island of Chek Lap Kok by land reclamation.
The plane literally is over the sear before the plane touches the runway its beautiful scene to watch landing there where you see trails of water left by speed boat, fishing trawlers and big Ships
The airport opened for commercial operations in 1998, replacing Kai Tak, and is an important regional trans-shipment centre,
This also acts like a hub for Cathay Pacific so you will pass through this airport if you are traveling from Asia to any destinations like US, and SEA .
Here is another picture of us taking off from HKIA

Good Morning Seoul
November 20th, 2011 No comments »Shot of Seoul early in ther motning from my room. I was staying in the Intercontinental Coex in Seoul.
The Intercontinental Coex is very conveniently located near the Coex mall and a really nice district of little restaurants and shops.It is also right across the street from a lovely Buddhist monastery, so you can hear the bells . The basement has a link to Lotte Duty Free right next to the restaurant where they serve breakfast.
The connectivity from Icheon Airport is also very good. You get out of custom as take a KAL limousine bus which costs 15000 won . I made a mistake by getting into a non KAL bus which dropped me at Intercontinental Grand but then the hotel ensured I was dropped at the right hotel. The journey from icheon takes around 75 minutes depending on Traffic .
There are a lot of shopping places around this hotel including the Hyundai Mall right next to Intercontinental Grant the other side and of the street.
Weather in Seoul was very pleasant during November at around 19 Degrees C and nice to walk around. I did not have much chance to do any touristy stuff as I was a business trip but would definitely come back for visiting the places in and around Seoul.
