The Indian Idles head to the Lotus Temple

So as usual..the two of us...bitten by a bug called "LETS GO" went on sight seeing.
We had no work to do...something clicked my mind...nd we ended up in LOTUS TEMPLE...or BAHAI TEMPLE..
I saw it once 4m outside only 5 years ago...bcoz my great habit of reaching late everywhr.....it got closed by the tym i was there.
We thought nothing...entered thru a shortcut 4m a park kind of or may be a forest kind of....or just something kind of...its name was AASTHA KUNJ(under development it seemed)......
we did some trekking..i thought m in a forest...nd thot may be someone kills us....nd our bodies wnt be found then
But we moved on...the two bros...indian idles...yeah idles..
So it was quite adventorous trekking thru that mud...as if we were climbing a mountain
I was satisfied....i love doing such discovering around nd i gotta pic the moment we were on the top....we looked at the lotus temple 4m our forest....dismantled though..
Nd i said HEY there it is....we donno hw many ppl saw it thru here...bt it was quite a sight....an amazing picture......and unique one too.........nd i was proud i was looking at it 4m a place where no one was present....no humans except we two......nd i took pics standing on the top of the mud mountain we climbed.....i cud see ansal plaza nd othere few buildings 4m dere(opp to teh temple)..
So we had made our own way finally...1st thru the rocks nd then mud....nd crossed the road...entered inside into a place which i saw 5 years ago..
Beautiful garden....lovely flowers....clean....completely clean...nd we took a lot of pics around...nice to see greenery which will become a rarity in the Delhi's upcoming future
I never saw some flowers....shaped like umbrellas.....beach umbrellas to be precise.
Nd there were trees too....i donno why they gave 'em a round shape....it seems funny....one wasnt pruned nicely...looked like a crap tree....mushroom head.
And the temple....wow!....i mean just look at that shape....lotus....it seems so soft....even though when its made of marble nd concrete...a perfect example of "tuff guys look soft"..
Nd we headed inside the library 1st...we din knew it was a library...the moment we saw books we knew it was a library then.....we RAN OUT.
We headed to the stairs...oops there was a pool(i think it was a pool) down there....brilliant blue color...altough water wasnt much...the color just caught my attention.
So got a few pics of myself taken courtesy my bro....just bcoz the color was awesome.
nd yeah there were people around....a thing i dont like.....bt i cant help it.
Families were there...so were colg students....nd couples(i missed "T" even more then)......its a nice place to rest (the pool).
so when our photography session got over...we headed to the stairs above...to go into the temple.We were ordered to stand in a line....close our cellphones...cameras...nd the biggest shocker was....we were asked to remain QUIET!
WHAT???
QUIET???
ME???
Oh man....we cudnt control...we did go inside bt still kept whispering....we cant keep quite...how can u expect us to be.
The moment i entered i looked up....sun's slight sight through the glass...nd the dome is beautiful...its a big hall....where u have to be quite...there were seats all around
Around the corners(inside) are boards displaying BAHA MULLAH'S quotes...altough i liked 'em....understood none!
Nd there was a gal of support staff...absolute beauty...she did look at me 4m head to toe....i got red in the face...she stared so badly!!.hehe...
So it was a fine place....i still didnt find my peace there....actually that forest's loneliness comforted me more than the silence in the temple...i hope I am not showing signs of becoming a HERETIC..
Anyway...that place is cool....anybody troubled with Delhi's summer can find AC here...a natural AC.
Nd my trip was done....so was my bro's....somewhere i was alone too....my peace....something was still missing.
