A grandfather with two grandchild, a boy and a girl boards the Metro.
Ritwik- Grandpa which place we will be visiting today ?
Rammanohar- Today we will be going to quite a few places.
Anaaya- Which ones ? Which ones ?
Rammanohar- Agarsen ki baoli, a mini Qutub Minar, Shri Digambar Jain Mandir, and Red fort.
Ritwik- I know Qutub minar. Our teacher taught us in our class.
Rammanohar- Good. I think, this Qutub Minar will be different than what you have been taught in our class.
Ritwik- How far are we from there ?
Rammanohar- One is nearby.
Anaaya- What is Baoli ?
Rammanohar- They are structures which are used to collect water, in order to use it later. There are steps, with each step down, we can reach to the bottom end of it, as we use water.
Anaaya- We have not used Baoli to collect water.
Rammanohar- Yes Anaaya. They were used anciently, when there was no piped running water through our tap.
Ritwik- And I will tell you about Qutub Minar. It is a circle shaped building. It is a five storey building, made by Qutub-ud-din-Aibak, in Mehrauli.
Rammanohar- Excellent. Here are the candies. Take them.
Ritwik ate one candy and put others in his pocket.
Rammanohar- Ritwik, share them with your sister and her fellow passenger.
Ritwik gave a candy to Anaaya and other to Orangutan.
Ritwik- Hello, my name is Ritwik. What's your name ?
Luthy- Hi, I am Luthy. Nice to meet you. Thankyou for candy.
Ritwik- Nice to meet you too. Welcome.
Ritwik- Grandpa. I want to go to temple which has bird hospital. Where is it ?
Rammanohar- It is in old Delhi. It is opposite to Red fort.
Anaaya- I know about Red fort. It is red castle made by Shah Jahan.
Rammanohar- Very good. Here take your candies.
Anaaya shares candy with Ritwik and Luthy.
Anaaya- So grandpa they treat birds at that temple.
Rammanohar- Yes. It is Shri Digambar Jain Mandir. Jain religion taught us to care for every living being. So this thought goes to care for bird as well.
Anaaya- So they bandaged wounded bird up.
Rammanohar- Yes, so that bird can be healthy and be able to fly high in the sky.
Anaaya- I want to see. I want to see.
Rammanohar- We will go there after lunchtime.
Anaaya- Grandpa. You were saying about Mini Qutub Minar. What will be different about it ?
Rammanohar- Yes this Mini Qutub Minar is situated in Hastal village. It is near Uttam Nagar East metro station. It was made, because earlier kings used to come here during hunting expedition.
Ritwik- I want to see that also.
Rammanohar- We will.
