Dilli meri jaan

I suddenly love Delhi! Just when I want to leave it.

I am smitten by Delhi's winters. Incredibly charming! Yeah it gets cold once in a while, but what the hell, that is a small price to pay for the following:

1. The essentailly European Khan Market with its lovely eateries. (Choko la and Khan Chacha)
2. Walking around CP, gol, gol, gol and staring at the multitude of people.
3. The obscenely rich GK-I market. I love the smell of money.
4. All the food in Def Col market, and all the times me and the "Sudanese freind" of mine spent there
5. The hustle of Lajpat Nagar market
6. The narrow streets of Chandni Chowk doling out hot hot paranthas and jalebis - the paranthas rock, but old jalebi joint sucks
7. India Gate - anytime of the day, any day. It's such a lovely sight
8. Wide roads and bad traffic sense
9. Rajpath and looking down Raisina hill to look at India Gate, at night
10. Sharavana Bhavan's Ghee Poli and 14 mini sambhar idly (never loved south indian food so much)
11. AIIMS flyover (I always feel I am not in India)
12. The whole of Lutyen's Delhi and just the thrill of feeling "Wow! This place rocks dude" everytime you drive by Shanti Path or Pandara Road or Ashoka Road or Archbishop Markois Marg (;) Kaaaaaaajuuuuulll will love me for this)
