Skeety's just arrived from the Surajkund Mela (Haryana). 'twas her maiden visit there. Have little to share in words, except that:
* It was FUN.
* Had buddhi ke baal aka candy floss after eons!
* Spent one day exclusively with mommy.
* Apart from the Mela, saw the Surajkund as well.
Notes: The Surajkund, as the name suggests is a water tank (now there's no water there), believed to have been constructed by Raja Suraj Pal of the Tomar dynasty. It dates back to the 10th Cnetury A.D. when sun worship was popular in India. The shape of the kund resembles that of the rising sun curving eastwards. This is due to the semicircular stepped stone. The bed of the kund is 130 metres in diameter.
* The Punjabis rock and will always do. Loved the folk songs.
It is on till tomorrow only. So, if any of you can manage. Runnnnnnn!P.S.: This mela is held from February 1-15 every year :)

WoW...some very nicely captured shots there....can real feel the pulse of the mela...it surely had been great fun out there...have a nice weekend!
one more thing that i've missed in those 20 years of stay in delhi.
Ahh, went there a last year, and 5 years ago too. The crowds, unfortunately, have thinned a lot. But the place generally has a charm of it's own.
Great pictures :)
PS. It's a pity to see the surajkund dry up.
it is not me but atif who deserves the credit here. but i would have written something similar though. sorry, forgot to put in credits !!
