About Me
- Name: Pavan Gupta
India has always fascinated me for different reasons. The vastness of its culture, the diversity of people’s opinions and the limitations of its vision. Despite our diversity, we need to have a collective vision. India is not a country of four metropolis or a couple of high-tech cities. This nation of a billion people has 29 states and 6 union territories. We have 35 state and territorial capitals. How much do we know about each of these important cities?
Professionally I am a graphic designer from Bombay, India. In 1987, I co-authored a book on Corporate India, but my desire to throw a wider net and pick up much more information remains intact. I want my people from every city and every state to write and photograph details and information that would be interesting to the viewers around the world. We have so much to talk about and so much to share - this medium and this technology can help fulfill our collective dreams.

This is interesting. A city, in Haryana, from where I belong also named after Feroz shah Tuglaq. Although Feroz is not part of name now. This City is Hissar (Haryana). The city name used to be Hisar-e-Feroz (Fort of/by/for Feroz). The fort there provides the memory of love between a local girl (from Gujjar Community, thats why the fort is still known as Gujari Mahal) and a king of Delhi. Before, Taj Mahal, Gujari Mahal was the story of folklores ;).
I pasted few pics of Gujari Mahal at my photo blog,

The story (Hissar) is provided at multiple (web) links,
