Update from Tushar in Delhi, visiting Delhi University as part of his course

Today I had to visit the University of Delhi to obtain a document and it was great feeling to be back on campus. The weather was amazing, so I decided to walk around the campus. The total distance I covered was around 7.5 Km. Thanks!

Supporting Asha with a Walk

Do you wish you could do something more during the global pandemic to help Asha’s work among the urban poor in Delhi?  Many of the poorest families in the slums are facing months of little or no income as a result of the pandemic. In addition to supporting education and health, Asha is also working to alleviate malnutrition in the slums where they are based. Many past and present Asha students have joined with other young people to act as Asha Warriors, taking food, advice and encouragement to the most hard hit. But there is a cost to this.

 Hi Everyone, lots of progress this week in the UK, mostly in the rain! with sunshine as well.   With rain forecast over this weekend it is certainly going to be interesting to see how many get out and about. With £1515 + giftAid raised so far, it's really exciting to see how the next few weeks roll out, 2700 miles pledged with many still to decide, and over 500 miles in 2 weeks, with many still to advise totals.   Cameras have been put to good use as well. Thank you Richard Thank you Linda Thanks you Malcolm

Here we are with our next ramble, which we did yesterday. This time we chose the Lutyens' Delhi (New Delhi) to ramble around. The total distance covered by us was around 9.5 KM, starting from the President's House to the National Museum and moved forward towards the India Gate and finishing the walk at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, near Connaught Place.  While Shahjahanabad had been the capital during Mughal era, New Delhi was chosen as the seat of power by the British Govt. in 1911  (Officially in 1931) shifting the capital from Calcutta to Delhi. But why this decision was taken? First, the British govt. believed it was easier to rule from the centre location, like Delhi, rather than ruling from the far eastern city. Moreover, it was a great source of creating a lineage and gaining support of masses, as Delhi had pre...
