Next day took me around the
underground Moscow. No, I am not
talking about the crime-spewing dark
underbelly that characterises all large
cities, but I am referring to the palatial
Metro Stations of Moscow’s Metro

as palaces for the proletariat. Some of

After a short visit to Victory Park
and Triumphal Arch, I called it a
day over a chilled glass of beer at
the Hard Rock Café situated on
a historical pedestrian avenue
called Arbat Street. Interestingly,
here I had a chance-encounter
with dancing Russian devotees of


ISKCON. Though I had no intention to
cover any more landmarks that day, I
swung by Red Square again and on my
way back to the hotel, I could not resist
capturing a stunning blue hour image
of Bolshoi Auditorium - the home
ground of the world-famous Bolshoi
Ballet Troupe.
