You may love it, you may hate it....oh no, you will find it very hard to hate it, and you definitely cannot ignore it. This is Delhi, the capital city of our beloved country, the place where ideas are formed and broken, dreams are fulfilled and shattered, where anything can happen. The city of limitless possibilities.
I have never lived in Delhi but I have been there many
times, and the city occupies a special place in my heart. And over the years I’ve
watched it change, and behold, it’s become beautiful.
Let’s talk about the Design first. Delhi’s got something to
cater to every need of people. On one hand we have some of Asia’s largest malls
(City Walk!), and on the other hand we have Lajpat Nagar where you can just
spend the whole day shopping for inexpensive items.
And the food. If you haven’t tasted the chole bhature found
on the streets here, let me tell you, you’re missing something in life. From
the street food to the swankiest of restaurants and the most diverse variety of
cuisines from all over the world, you can find everything here.
Which brings us to the most enchanting aspect of this city:
its diversity. Being the capital, it’s home for people from every corner of the
country – you can never feel out of place here. At any street corner, you can
find Hindi, Telugu, Punjabi and Assamese among many others – being spoken
simultaneously. And there are a fair amount of guests from around the world as
well. The composite Delhi culture we have thus has a charm of its own – it comprises
parts of every culture and blends them in an absolutely unique way.
And last but definitely not the least – the rich heritage.
The Red Fort, Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb are majestic to behold. Jantar
Mantar gives us a glimpse at India’s rich scientific knowledge. There is no
shortage of tourist spots in Delhi – if you want to have a nice time with
friends or family and witness the memorial of India’s brave soldiers, you can
visit the India Gate. If you are spiritually inclined, you can visit the
Akshardham Temple or the Jama Masjid. The Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is a must-see
too. Or if you just want to take a break from everything and have a quiet time,
you can spend time at the Lotus Temple. And there are still many more to add to
this list.
Coming to the most important aspect: Drive. To visit all
these, you need to get around, right? Delhi has got one of the best roads in
India – and if you’re someone like me who loves to drive, you will find it a
pleasure to live here. It’s well connected to the adjacent places too – my personal
favourite being the DND Flyway. I was amazed at the first time I took the metro
rail here – it’s absolutely world-class. And pleasantly clean!
Delhi is definitely a city that’s #madeofgreat. And if you’re
in a Tata Motors car, it will certainly enhance your experience. To know more,
