Our trip throughout the capital lead us now to the famous
.
Qutub Minar
or the Victory Tower ( which we like more!)
.
This tower of 72,5m is one of the finest stone tower in India and also one of the most landmark in Delhi. It is built in red sandstone
His foundation started in 1192 during Mughal Empire (the period when North of India was dominated by Muslim Empire) by Qutubuddin Aibak.

the interior of the tower is very interesting to visit...
But where there's curiosity there must be courage too...... If you want to see the top, you'll have to go up 379 steps...... hummm!!!!! we did it !!! We're very brave!! The sight is wonderful from the top!! we can see all the gardens around!!

This monument is very popular! There's a lot of legends related to it.
According to me, this tower is famous for the scene of an old Bollywood movie "Tere Ghar ke samne" in which the actor sings a love song inside the tower... This song is still on lips of all Indians! During my chilhood , i wanted to go there just to sing the song with my sister!!! As she's not here with me, i taught the song to Caroline............hummmmm.....:-/
Dil Ka Bhanwar Kare Pukar
Hehe so Caroline can you sing the song now? You have a great writing style, e.g. "this tower sports... / where there's curiosity there must be courage..."
ReplyDeleteJust a few English tips, in order of appearance:
- one of the finest stone *towers*
- *Its* foundation
- After saying "we did it", you should really stay in the past tense, i.e. "we were very brave, the *view* was wonderful from the top, we could see..."
- There *are* lots of legends...
- According to me --> In my opinion / I believe that
- on the lips of all Indians --> on the tip of every Indian person's tongue: or you could say "every Indian person know this song by heart"
Just to help you a little bit, not to criticise!
Hummmmmm David, that's for you!!! You'll be able to sing too instead of teasing Caroline!!! :-p!!
