Review of Delhi by Sanjana Chawla

Delhi, the capital city of India is famous for several reasons. The city has everything within its vicinity. Food, clothes, furniture, decor, electronics- name it and you have it all! Delhi being my (Read More)home city has a special place in my heart. From high-end malls like Ambience, DLF, Promenade and Pacific, you have thrift shops like Janpath, Sarojini nagar and Central market which are as famous and crowded as the shopping malls. You can never get bored when in Delhi as the places to visit here are a lot. One can go on a city tour and explore all the monuments like Qutub minaar, Red fort, Lotus temple, Laal quila, Humayuns tomb or go on a garden spree and enjoy the beautiful greenery and flower blooms at the Garden of five senses, Mughal garden and Lodhi garden. The best way to go around Delhi is to hop on a blue 'Ho!-ho! Bus' and roam around in a day. Art and artifacts lovers have a lot to explore in Delhi as well. You can go on a visit to the National Arts Gallery or spend a day in the Dilli Haat at INA or if you are lucky enough, you can get to explore the Trade fair at Pragati Maidan, or the Surajkund crafts fair or the Dastkaari bazaar. Delhi and its lip smacking food are famous worldwide. Chole bhature, rajma chawal, gop gappe, chaat, chole kulche, kulfis and ice creams; everything served in Delhi is loved by all adults and children like. My ever favourite food to eat in Delhi is the yummy plate of rajma chawal served in Shankar Market, CP, kulfi from Roshan in Chandnichowk, yummy crispy Kachodi served in Kamla Nagar and Moolchand paranthe wala in South Delhi. Chandnichowk and Lajpat Nagar market are the two markets that suffice all your shopping as well as food cravings. Delhi has a well-established metro connectivity and you can easily go to one part of the city to the other. Besides the well-known places in Delhi, there are a handful of hidden gems which deserve a visit as well. The Tibetan Market near Majnu ka Tila has an eastern vibe going on and you can buy trendy clothes and satisfy your hunger with yummy momos and pancakes. Champa Gali, also known as the Liberty Village is located near the Saket metro station and is very lively and full of cafes and an air-conditioned thrift store. The Banglasahib Gurudwara in CP, Nizammudin Dargah and the Cathedral Church holds high significance ans are visited by people from different parts of the country. Several films like Delhi-6, Rockstar and Fukrey have been shot in the capital and you will love going to these places visited by your favourite stars all by yourself!
