Top sights in Delhi through pictures
If I need to choose the top sights in Delhi, then I would definitely opt for the four architectural masterpieces: Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb, Jama Masjid Mosque, and Qutub Minar. Focusing on these four monuments does not mean that Delhi fails to provide its visitors with sights to admire.

A whole world in one city: Delhi, India
As you walk by the colorful shops and busy markets and narrow streets and lavish temples - you realize that the crowd has its own language. I do not mean language like English, or German, or Hindi. It is more like a distant echo in the mountains, or a mixture of music beats from bars on a beach. The streets are filed with some kind of whispers - angry ones, happy ones, inviting ones - but together they remind me of humming birds or buzzing bees. All the words vanish in the air.

The Taj Mahal – a masterpiece that gives shape to love

The most touristic destination is, very likely, not your dream-holiday destination.
She said: "the war took everything from me, but it did not take my skill, my talent, and my wish to live an honest and fulfilled life. I am grateful each day for everything that I have: for my neighbors who help me, for God that keeps me safe, and for all the love in my life that enables me to grow. I need nothing more."

Summertime story telling
Summer has always been my most favorite season of the year. Even as these three months seemingly get shorter (because I am a responsible adult now duhhh) and hotter, one fragment of this season remains everlastingly sacred to me: visiting the sea. Ever since I was a kid, the salty water was the place where I managed to reach meditative-like serenity and to calm my overthinking mind and over-tensed body just by listening to the sound of the waves. The Earth would roar; I would listen. At this oasis of life, I would wait patiently for the sun to kiss the horizon and blend the sky with the most outstanding…
