Delhiwale: Where the stars descended

Hindustan Times  

A dome that’s like a Buddhist stupa. It is Sapru House, however, that is the precious souvenir of our city’s post-independent past. Tucked away on Barakhamba Road in central Delhi, close to the Mandi House circle, you might have passed by it a hundred times without knowing that it has been graced by the presence of international notables such as Ho Chi Minh and Dag Hammarskjold. Inaugurated by the then prime minister Jawarharlal Nehru in 1950, Sapru House was dedicated to his passion - world affairs. Once the pandemic becomes less threatening and it is again safe to mingle with the smart set, Delhi evenings might again include Sapru House as a necessary stop.
