डफ़लीवाला आया है
पिछले कुछ सालोंसे हाथ मैं डफ़ली लेकर ख़ुदको ग़रीबोंका मसीहा बताने वाले लोगोंका बड़ा जथ्था सड़कोंपर दिखाई देने लगा है। यह सालोसाल छात्र बने रहते हैं, नागरिकोंके टैक्स पर नागरिकोंको भड़काते हैं। इन्हे ना हिन्दू से प्यार है ना हिंदुस्तान से लगाव। अपने मिथ्या स्वार्थ के लिए गरीबी को इस्तेमाल करते हैं , गुंडागर्दी करते…

Qutub Minar : Standing Tall On The Ruins
“What is the history of Qutub Minar?” first thing my niece asked me when we planned our trip to Delhi. The only answer I had was, “It is a huge tower built by a king called ‘Qutub ud-Din Aibak’. It is made of stone and has beautiful carvings on it.” First time when I visited…
