@Ses_ame 's Star Photo of Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses uploaded onto Google Maps on 2018-09-14 and showing star views of 952,095 as at 2022-08-11
This was probably taken on a Pantech P9070 ( a now extinct Korean brand) in 2014 and was the very first photo I uploaded to Google Maps. This photo is of a research think tank in New Delhi located in the Cantonment area, a stone’s throw away from the international airport. These premises had come up in 2007 so it was fairly new at the time. I am guessing it got so many hits since it was one of the first photos put up of this building.
I only uploaded all of two photos in 2014 though the tempo picked up in 2015 only to come to a crashing halt in 2017 when I was deprived of the privilege of being a Google guide because the spammers I used to go after with a vengeance came after me and got me banned. In 2021, I suddenly found my points etc had reappeared as mysteriously as they disappeared, and so here I am, back in the sweepstakes:-)
