Why did we stop with ballroom dances??? Like seriously to waltz around a room with a handsome stranger to classical music while others look at us with envy and after the music ends both of you with flushed cheeks, breathing fast, the sexual tension ; that was the shit.

⚜ Baroque month on @mynocturnality

Visited the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vastusanghralaya (formerly known as Prince of Wales Museum) in Mumbai.

I'm totally in love with the architectural style - Indo-Saracenic coupled with Islamic and Gujarati styles and English brickwork.

It is one of the best museums in the whole country that is famous for sculptures, artefacts and several ancient artworks.

Penshurst Church, Kent, England.

Façades of South Bombay

A visit to the Gateway of India

It is a memorial arch built in the Indo-Saracenic style (an amalgamation of British, Hindu and Islamic styles) to commemorate the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary as it was the first visit of a British monarch to India.

The monument is of RCC and yellow basalt. The jaali work (latticework) is intricate and decorative.

Fun fact: The King and the Queen were only able to see the cardboard model of this structure as the work was not yet completed :)
