So finally Delhi kicks off its monotonous yet uniquely amazing struggle to survive. For hundreds of years she has been taking a sturdy use of the Delhiites.
For a new man like me, it can become a glitch just to cope up with the daily ups and downs, a roller coaster ride. From the dawn to the dusk and again from the dusk to the dawn, Delhi is a city which never stops or sleeps.

The honking and jams may deter you from being here for a while but in the evening you’ll find a solace better than anywhere in the world. From the glory of the Red Fort to the husstle of Old Delhi, everything here gets you the way nothing else can. From the punctual regime of DTC to the latency and slackness of the government officials, everything has a unique mix and a perfect balance. Delhi has inculcated everything in her and in the most meticulous manner, like a chef adding every flavor, from the most extreme flavors to the most soothing ones into an unfathomably rich dish.

Its diversity and vastness in every realm has won it a great many accolades from the writers and thinkers of every time. It is so enriched with the history culminated through the ages, that almost every single corner presents you with its own anecdote. A sweet aroma is seeping out of every crevice of this great city awaiting your interests and arrival.

Being a political and strategic center from as early as 500 A.D. has bought it a great opportunity to stay in this realm of constant change and adaptation. It has been the birth place of many great social leaders and reformers. And it has accumulated all of their legacies with success such as second to none. It has went through an era of fight and strife and yet remains to be pious in the ebb and flow of ambiguities.

It is as Mir Ghalib said-

“Koochey nahin dilli ke, auraaq-e-musawwir hain
Jo shakl nazar aayi, tasveer nazar aayi”

(These are not Delhi by-lanes, these are artist’s canvas
Every sight I see looks like a painting)
