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

network. Stalin had envisioned these

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.
