The centuries couldn't change the beauty of this place. It's always been like this, the roofs of Paris! It is recognizable at a glance, the blue of the roofs of Paris, draped in zinc and slate, enhanced by the eternal red brick chimneys.  We saw them shine on the canvases, these roofs, on the canvas and in the movies.  We remember the Aristocats and the four hundred blows of little Antoine by François Truffaut… To those, the roofs offered a unique and personal escape, a parenthesis, in which they could sing, run, play and dream, floating almost at- above the world, like on a cloud ...

The Remains Of Mughal Glory

Lahori Gate of the Red Fort, Delhi.  Entrance to the Red Fort, Delhi It was on this day in 1931, that the city of Delhi was officially inaugurated as the capital of British territories in India, while the name ‘New Delhi’ was first used in 1927. Two decades earlier, in 1911, the British had made the decision to transfer the capital from Kolkata (then called Calcutta) to Delhi. New Delhi remained the capital of India after independence, and the partition of the country in 1947. The Lahori Gate of the Red Fort, featured on today’s homepage, is a significant landmark of the city of Delhi. While the fort served as the residence of the Mughal emperors for over 200 years, it is today used as the venue from where the prime minister addresses the nation on occasions like Independence Day.
