Delhi, better known as the Indian capital, and the host for the soon to be held commonwealth games happens to be a very varied city in terms of experience.
A recent outing in the city recently made me ponder over the various colors,experiences and fervors of the city. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Delhi is the summation of the whole of India. The whole country seems to be summed up in this city.
For the fact, i was roaming around August Kranti Marg, the same road where the Siri Fort Auditorium,North India's first shopping complex Ansal Plaza and the legendary Siri Fort is situated. Those roads also happens to be those very roads where i have been born and brought up in, the roads where i can say 'i belong from'. I've been seeing these roads since they day i was born. There's not even a single year when i've not seen these roads, or interacted with people.
While shopping at Ansal Plaza, i realised something. This city can be very hospitable as well as misbehaved at times. Thats a different thing that the misbehaved ones are generally aggregated, and are mostly untrained,ignorant, working in uncertain situations, and infact less educated.
And on the other hand, it can enormously generous and hospitable, so hospitable that you'll love it. A few good examples are Shoppers Stop,Ansal Plaza , and Karnataka Restaurant,Yusuf Sarai Market. Over years,they have served people with the same care and concern they've been giving for years, without any break. Karnataka Restaurant, which my parents have been visiting for decades now, has been a wonderful place for us to dine in.
And then there is the wonderful Hauz Khas market. The people might not be looking very smart and attractive there, but believe me, its wonderful. By any chance, if you happen to visit the Asian games Village complex(better known as Siri Fort Sports Complex), then do visit Hauz Khas market and Karnataka restaurant(only for the Vegetarian guys) at Yusuf Sarai market. Its a wonderful experience.
And in case you want to roam around in Delhi, prefer going out after 8:30pm. This city is a wonderful place to hangout during late nights.
Do you think the same, or you have something else to add. Feel free to pour in your comments.
