To DELHI...wid Love!!

“Who said Hunooz Dilli Door Ast (Delhi is yet far away)?”
Coming from a place sum 20 kms away, which is considered an illegitimate cousin of delhi, doesnt stop me frm screaming it out and loud "I LOVE DILLI"..

I was born here, ma pa came to delhi in 1982, three yrs before getting married. I attended high school here. Have been reading bout the great heritage, been on 'delhi darshans' sum trillion of times( every winter breeze and sunshine used to take us to India Gate, having candy floss in the lawns... sunday meant an outing with family and frnds to cannaught place, every school picnic or edu trip meant we were out exploring the rail museum, qutab minar :-) ).
Two decades and still sooo awed by the majestic city. It still is a feast to my eyes. Its the city I call home.
"This is to tell you about Delhi city
the sum and substance, the real nitty-gritty.
And of course you’ll know why I love Delhi
despite the incivility, chaos and melee".

I love delhi: For It rides through contradictions..being led by a woman chief minister and still called 'unsafe for women'. A Rs 2 kutting chai is as good as Rs 90 ka cappuccino. The summers are as scorching as the winters are chilling. The sun rises to 'Aloo lo, bhindi lo, pyaaz lo, tamatar lo'...even if u are d elite and come from the most posh colonies. Where guys on one hand protect their gfs frm prying eyes and odwise go ogling at other women.

I love delhi: For momos at brown sugar, for pastas at big chill, for chaat, for gol gappas,for khan chacha ke rolls, for chandni chowk ke paranthas, jama masjid ki biryani, english dairy ka sasta khana, for priya's ka egg roll, for jnu ka ganga dhaba,for cumsum, for nirulas ka hot chocolate fudge, for bengali market ki raj karchori,for njp ka pocket parantha, for punjabi by nature ki dal makhni, for tom uncle ki maggy, for wengers ke cakes, keventers ke shakes, sda ki beer, iitians ke liye sassi ke paranthe,bill aur hillary clinton ke liye bukhara, mere liye rk puram ke chole bhature...phew...
