a Sunnie and I decided to walk the Mint Compound Road and then climb up the Naubat Pahad and walk back. So we parked the car near Prasad's and walked along the Mint Road. It was interesting to know that there is a Mint Museum which is something I would like to visit (reminds me that I still have to visit the Public Gardens museum). Then some interesting temples and we turned and hit the main road and turned up the hill and went up the Naubat Pahad. The gates to the temple were closed and I asked the watchman dramatically why they put gates between me and god. He laughed and said that just as Kuchela came between a devotee and Krishna they put this gate and that we must wait another 10 minutes till 7. We both laughed and we said we will come another day when the lord will summon us and went way. Past the Secretariat and past the Tank Bund where we stopped at some point to watch the sunrise, towards People's Plaza and then some pics of Indira Gandhi's and PV Narasimha Rao's statues. I already got one of Ambedkar so it was three statues today. Stopped at Minerva for a bite and some coffee and that was that for the day.
An idea germinated in my mind - do a full circle walk around Tank Bund once day - 10 kms.
