A big noisy city with a lot of color and chaos
Delhi is usually the starting grounds for many people going into India. The city is home to some say 20 million plus people. It reminds me a lot of Cairo which somewhat felt like home. The streets congested with people, cars honking incessantly all hours of the day and the endless stream of pollution is enough to deter a lot of people. But it did not deter me….
I went to some of the normal tourist sites such as the India Gate, Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Laxmi Narayan Temple, and the Lotus Temple to the Ba’hai Religion, Gandhi Memorial, and the Parliament House during a normal sightseeing trip. The red fort unfortunately was closes as it was a national holiday…
These sites did not amaze me as much as walking through the endless mazes of streets and people around every corner of this city. Going up on rooftops, you can see the amount of people and buildings that go further than the human eye can see. You can spot monkeys jumping from building to building. Lines of bikes, taxis, tuk tuks congested in and endless stream of traffic. Alleys so small that people have problems fitting through them but the locals navigate them just fine…..This is the Delhi that everyone needs to see as this is what coming here is truly about….
