India ! Incredible India!
Been to The Jantar Mantar, Qutub Minar, and The Metro Museum.
3 sites, built in different time periods, by different rulers and
communities, but related to each other in a clear sense .
SCIENCE.
1. Jantar Mantar -- showcasing the achievements of Indian scientists
in Astronomy in the pre-machinistic era. The observatory, made of 6
huge Yantras, tracking the movements of various celestial bodies, is a
giant example of India's brainpower...
2. Qutub Minar-- The stone carved marvel. 72.5 metres of pure rock-hard
poetry. There are Verses sculpted in Arabic along the fluted minar
that look like flowers and vines. There is the famous Iron pillar
located in the same complex. It has been there since the 16 century,
rust-free. And is still a masterpiece in metallurgy. These both
monuments, mixing science with religion, culture with architecture,
pride with passion bring us a sense of pride for our nation.
3. Metro Museum, Patel chowk metro station-- This one, a modern
metaphore of India's reach into technology shows the travel of the
Delhi Metro since its inception to today. The museum is a living proof
of dedication, hardwork and discipline of the DMRC employees to bring
the dream to life.
All the 3 places, have impressed me a lot, and raised my opinion of
Incredible India to a higher level.
