Just let the cultural and modern&amp;nbsp; delights in Delhi sink in .That was what I did ! My sis&amp;nbsp; Kala&amp;nbsp; is made for&amp;nbsp; plans and people getting together and workmon clockwork precision! And so the "HO-HO trip,the metro rail t rip&amp;nbsp; and the car trip within a matter of few days !&lt;br /&gt;The Diwani Am of the Red fort, the Parliament, Punjabi dhabas, Kerala temple, the Akshardam , the Lotus temple of the Bahais and the Taj ..What a melee of visions&amp;nbsp; and visonaries ! In contradiction,&amp;nbsp; our youngsters find for us new visions... food courts, 3 D films.multistoried fragile looking glass towers and not to forget -&amp;nbsp; the metro rail .When has India not been in transition ?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But now, today is already history&amp;nbsp; and the future. Never the present ! for the presence of the Present seems&amp;nbsp; like a cascade.. water falls and is&amp;nbsp; broken into myriad drops each reflecting a part of the world and space around. Its as though the Present is that drop which hangs in the air just at the point of dropping and making&amp;nbsp; the past. Marvelling at the Taj, it is usual to say "The Time stands still" ! For me , that moment was not revealed . For I run helter skelter after the mirage of time !&amp;nbsp; In the Diwani am, the time seems hapless. where is all that glory ?.. Just like the hall,&amp;nbsp; time is just a&amp;nbsp; hollow shell of the snail out of which the snail has slowly moved away just leaving&amp;nbsp; a shining trail for those who want to seek it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the well of the Parliament, time is counted for the visitors but the discussions in there are nullified&amp;nbsp; often by the walkouts and time is lost !You come out of the Akshardam&amp;nbsp; caves as though from time as a memorial&amp;nbsp; and you meditate in the Lotus to seek the time that is eternal.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Yes Delhi cannot be&amp;nbsp; seen without its backdrop of&amp;nbsp; Time .that is why it delights there any one is a time travellersitting on timemachine which crosses many&amp;nbsp; latitudes and longitudes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/259354591921909009-7923480239861193541?l=newaves.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newaves.blogspot.com/feeds/7923480239861193541/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newaves.blogspot.com/2011/04/delhi-delights.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/259354591921909009/posts/default/7923480239861193541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/259354591921909009/posts/default/7923480239861193541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newaves.blogspot.com/2011/04/delhi-delights.html' title='Delhi delights!'/><author><name>Chandrika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02724947491576035492</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-259354591921909009.post-7893126795766118230</id><published>2011-02-18T18:12:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-03T04:20:52.852-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Surface mails</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;Any surface area, anywhere has become a message post. The posts are of&amp;nbsp; hardly any value... for example, names of children on the&amp;nbsp; car windshields.What is the message behind this? that the children own the car? that if caught by the police , to contact these children?&lt;br /&gt;Packaging for protection of the product now has multiple functions...not just the info about the product itself, but the transparency&amp;nbsp; of the packaging leads the viewer to&amp;nbsp; multiple visions of the value of the product. This in itself&amp;nbsp; is of course&amp;nbsp; not a bad idea; but when the product is of not much value, the packaging quickly gives the message of a super product ! shirts in plastic covers have an aura of&amp;nbsp; a great brand which invites clients&amp;nbsp; not to touch and feel the quality of the cloth but look and savour the beauty of the shirt which lies within and get enchanted with visions of wearing it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/259354591921909009-7893126795766118230?l=newaves.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newaves.blogspot.com/feeds/7893126795766118230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://newaves.blogspot.com/2011/02/surface-mails.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/259354591921909009/posts/default/7893126795766118230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/259354591921909009/posts/default/7893126795766118230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newaves.blogspot.com/2011/02/surface-mails.html' title='Surface mails'/><author><name>Chandrika</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02724947491576035492</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
