If the whole trip was a graph of awesomeness against time, the gradient for today would have risen well above the x-axis.
After breakfast we went to the Qutub Minar, which was built by the Turks to brag about their conquest. That is the only part I heard and remember before my attention wandered off elsewhere. I appreciated the tour guide, but only for the first twenty minutes.

Peek-a-boo
And there it is, in its towering glory!
After the tour (although she did say she will give us time to take pictures and insisted we stand rooted to one spot listening to her, there was no time at all when she finished, what a bunch of deadly lies!), we hopped on the bus to the next sight-seeing sight, Humayun's Tomb. Before we went in, we had McDonald's lunch outside, a strange potato-vegetable patty burger.
I thought Humayun's Tomb was quite comparable to Taj Mahal. It was no less an awe inspiring sight.

And then we went inside to see the tomb.
The view from the top of the monument
Con-man/Snake charmer outside the site! He was grabbing his snake and positioning it, not charming it!
We went back to the Modern School to witness their Founder's Day Celebration, which was a musical entitled,"Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat". It was pretty fantastic; very flashy, very grand. It's still hard to believe that the musical was only a school production. Even the costumes were amazing.
Nevertheless many times I thought (and hoped) the show was about to end, only for it to drag on into another dance.
