Yeh Dilli hai mere yaar-----------bas ishq mohabbat pyar---------
These lyrics are most suitable to the sentiment of a Delhite. Although Delhi has changed a lot, especially since the last two three decades, the soul has not changed. Delhi is a rare combination of traditional and modernity. You can find ancient monuments alongside the modern malls and Metro.The wide roads, the greenery, the many huge markets to suit all pockets and the glorious cultural and political heritage, there is no limit. Then there is the magical and ever so mystical Connaught Place. From where to start and where to end !
I still cherish the sweet memories of my college days---going for picnics and parties to Buddha garden, Surajkund and Batkal lake. It was quieter in those times, less number of people and cars on roads. Delhi winters are perhaps the most enjoyable times. The food is delicious , whether at a chaat corner or at a kabab dhaba.
It is very difficult to describe Delhi in few words. It is an idea, a concept, a sentiment. Those who have lived in Delhi might perhaps understand the nostalgic feeling , which I have for Delhi.
Long live DELHI!
