Delhi.. the city of my Dreams....

"Delhi nurtures you in it's womb of extremities.

You struggle against it till you realize that that's what makes you" via @ThWanderingSoul

Whenever anyone talks about Delhi it takes me back to good old school days, Air Force days.. Even though m away from Delhi for almost 11yrs now but my love for that city is unconditional... Delhi always takes me back into the golden era with panache.

The city that is well known for its weather Extreme hot in Summers and extremely chilly in winters perfect weather to die for. One city where you can enjoy each and every season with warm and loving people and colorful festivals. :)

 Delhi, the capital of India, a city of richness, diversity and power. Dilli, as it is fondly called, is indeed the heart of India... but when somebody says Delhi is unsafe, logo ko tameez nahi hai... it hurts :( this is the city that nurtured me and taught me ethics and values... Probably that is the reason inspite of living in Mumbai for almost 11yrs that Delhi touch is still there in my language....

Delhi has come a long way since the old times. After bagging the prestigious title of India’s capital, Delhi has carved a niche for itself. One of India’s fastest growing cities; it illustrates a beautiful example of the past and the present living together. While the Walled City, our very own integral Old Delhi still dazzles in its ancient charm, the New Delhi is an icon of development. State of the art residential complexes, breathtaking shopping complexes, grand skyscrapers, Delhi has several architectural marvels under its belt.

But today when I hear about Rape cases every other day.. It kills me. I feel this is not the Delhi I grew up in this is not the place where my Angels live.. This is not the city that taught me how to live... But thanks to some amazing people in my life like Anu, Farheen mam, Manu, Anuraag, Yatin, Ish, Raka, Akanksshi who taught me that Diversity of the City is evident from the fact that nobody in the city feels to be a misfit! There would be friends of friends, cousins, distant relations or neighbors of someone living in Delhi making it a home away from home! :)

But to be honest from the bottom of my heart I feel Delhi is a beautiful city. A city which is well-known for its hospitality. No wonder, it has been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times . The charming forts of Delhi are its soul, tucked away in timeless peace, serenity and beauty.

As they say..... Dil ki basti purani dilli hai ~ jo bhi gujra hai usne loota hai....

Delhi has always welcomed everyone with an open mind and heart... and it has only one thing to offer... Unconditional Love...
