The Highs & Lows Of Delhi
New Delhi is the
capital city of India with a beautiful conglomeration of people from
different religions, cultures and stratas of society. Immensely popular
for its shopping, food, sight seeing opportunities and social activities,
New Delhi is truly the hub of India.

There was a time when
Delhi was known more for its myriad monuments that stand tall as a
symbol and reminder of India's rich history. However, over the years,
Delhi has acquired the reputation of being an extremely notorious city
known more for its killer blue line buses, Meter-Not-Working Autos
rickshaws and ogling men.

If you venture out to
explore Delhi, you will be surprised to see stark contrasts between
the lifestyles of the rich vs. poor, educated and uneducated. Delhi is
home to a plethora of 5 star hotels as well as JJ colonies, people living
in palatial bungalows and those sustaining themselves on the roads,
bearing the brunt of harsh and ever changing weather.
Temperatures in
Delhi sore during the summers with massive humidity and drop considerably during winters making
the weather highly oppressive and extreme for most part of the year.
One of the best things
that could ever happen to New Delhi is the Delhi Metro that has
revolutionized the way the common man travels. After all, who wouldn't
want to travel in a cool, air conditioned train - also a perfect way to avoid
running after and traveling in those killer buses of Delhi.
It is said that there is
always a strong connection between people and their birth place. This
unexplainable and highly emotional bond can create a blind eye, preventing
a person from seeing and acknowledging certain less-likeable aspects of
their favourite city.
I decided to write down

myth and check if I was up to the challenge of looking at Delhi from an
unbiased perspective.

like about New Delhi
