And then you linger with a mixed feeling of wonderment and bewilderment. There lies an expansive urbanity, modernity and a looming grand history in the background. It then comes in layers of multifaceted culture that is uniquely Delhi.
Past the whooshing rickshaws, one gawking tourist should hold tight to his location map of Delhi.
Lest one gets lost in the narrow lanes and obscure walkways filled to bursting with people – the curious, the idling and the mass of earnest peddlers out to make serious living.
At any given day there is a sea of people – that which gives life to Delhi, they say. Not one to wade through Chandni Chowk, Asia's largest wholesale market, one may choose to settle within the confines of the massive Red Fort. The glory faded with age but a probing visitor can still peek at the traces of its past grandeur. |
