Lil Flea market is the most organised & perfect place for you to shop. It is been organised during the year in a few major cities. Basically, the organisers designed the market with a great deal of effort, carefully & in a creative manner keeping in mind that it promotes good quality home-grown brands and independent artists.If you are a shopaholic person, then you must this visit this place as it is a place for unique and quirky products. Helps in discovering various types of products, tend to know about fashion and style. Lil flea market is a hub for style statement, πŸ’Ό bags, handmade jewellery, printed shoes .Additionally, it offers a vast variety of mouthwatering dishes, experimental meals and mixture of fusion food. Lil flea has a huge amount of stock for those whose stomach is looking for the lip smacking food πŸ˜‹

The 52nd Statesman Vintage & Classic Car Rally 2018 was held here today (11th Feb). Some of the rarest of the rare cars on display for few hours. Buick, Cadillac, Studebaker, Fiat, Riley, Rolls Royce, Chevrolet, Ford, Bentley, Plymouth, and lots more! Coupled with live retro music. Truly amazing experience of watching vintage cars passing by, listening to Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful world!

The Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium commonly known by its former name, National Stadium is a field hockey stadium in New Delhi, India. The stadium is named after former Indian field hockey player, Dhyan Chand. It served as the venue for the 1st Asian Games in 1951.The stadium was built in 1933 as a gift for Delhi from the Maharaja of Bhavnagar, it was originally multipurpose stadium and named the Irwin Amphitheatre. It was designed by Anthony S. DeMillo and opened by Lord Willingdon. As per the original plans of architect of New Delhi Edwin Lutyens there was to be garden at the site, to provide a clear view of the historic Purana Quila (Old Fort) in the backdrop, as it lay perpendicular to the axis beginning from Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidents House) through Rajpath and ending at the India Gate, his plans were however overruled. It was renamed National Stadium before the 1951 Asian Games, Dhyan Chands name was added in 2002...

1st time when I visit this place in 2015, the beauty of the ground and the practice area was good.In the year 2018 it becomes worst because of low maintenance.In 2015 I can see players are practicing hockey now I can see players practicing cricket over there in the practice ground.So many events are conducted in the free parking area like Max Bupa health walk(every year feb) and govt events.

One of the highly sensitive and full of security.
