Connaught Place | New Delhi



One of my best friend says, "What if art ruled the world?"

Well, I'd say there could be nothing better. Even while I was walking and thinking constantly about what he wrote, I couldn't stop wondering that what if the world of art was the only world? I wouldv'e been super glad, somtimes you don't need choices. Nothing has to make sense, you like it, you go see it, you stare at it, you wonder, you think, you contemplate, it may become your muse for the next project, it may inspire, it makes you a poet, a writer, anything you dream of it transpires. It's funny what art can do to you. It makes me jump, it makes me cry, it makes me smile, it gives me goosebumps, it makes me want to meet new people, it makes me want to write about it, it makes want to travel and see how many levels are there to it or are there no levels at all or is it all an illusion. Questions and several answers, what should I follow? what should I write? what should I like? 

"Life without art would've been just bleh" - A post I had seen a while back.

The plans that are not planned are the best, that's what happened the other day. It was a typical day, got back from college, saw Frozen, fell in love with Olaf blah blah blah. All of sudden fish craving happened and the first place that came to our mind was "Cha Bar" at Connaught Place. I knew I'd stumble across some old stuff but when I saw this eagle I can't explain the feeling. This is what I wrote on Instagram- 


"I still can't believe it. It's so surreal. The fact that I cried and jumped at the same time when I saw this. I knew it was love at first sight. Call me crazy but that's the way it's gonna be. "






Artist: Rukkit
Location : CP Outer Circle (H block Parking)

Apart from the eagle that day I happened to see this old piece and the first thought " Under The Sea" - the faous song from the Disney movie "The Little Mermaid" you must be wondering that all things are connected to Disney movies, well yes :) My life is surrounded by Disney movies, their quotes, their strong characters and I sometimes make friends on the basis of Disney movies and how they react to them and think of them. So beware.


Delhi Street Art
Location : Outer Circle

 This is another strong piece coupled with a few more around the place. The middle portion of the wall shows birds escaping the cage and more.




Delhi Street Art
Location : Between A & B block

 This bang opposite on the same building. Catches a lot of attention. The colors are the best. Fly away, breakaway.

Delhi Street Art Project 
Location : Between Block A & B

 This is on some brown, drab old wall, almost negleced wall to be precise. The purple makes a huge difference. This was clicked on a different day.


Random Graffiti
Location : Near Bercos behind A block

I am sure there are more fantastic pieces of art around CP, I promise to bring them here to you soon. Cannot wait for the Dhoomimal art fair though. You guys should check it out yourself. It starts in th first week of April around G Block close to the Khadi emporium.
