Delhi Diary


1. Delhi is so much over populated with big cars (the sedan types) that it's easier to reach a place by walk than in an automobile.

2. The moment you leave from your house (be it anywhere in Delhi) a traffic jam is waiting for you just 5 minutes away. Once you get struck in a jam...take a short nap...after some time the person behind will honk and wake you up.

3. Delhi females are so environment friendly...the more hotter it becomes...the lesser they wear.

4.Damn the cost of living is so high here. A simple masala dosa in a decent tiffin center costs 70 bucks...for this rate i could have easily gobbled down four in apna hyd.

5.These people seem to have a strange aversion to southies. You can feel it in their attitude towards you.

6.You gotta learn how to bargain. Be it Palika bazaar or Sarojini market, things always come at 40 percent of the initial price.

7. Try not to meddle with a Sardar. You'll repent later.

8. People here are not bothered about their neighbours. It's like each man for himself.

9. I find more females driving cars than males amd they are very careful drivers.

10. People are highly fashion conscious and are ready to ape all the latest trends and fads.

11. This being the seat of power nothing ever gets done in government offices unless you are ready to shell out the dough.

12. The roads are neat, the lawns green and the air is pure need i say more.

13. The flyover at AIIMS is an engineering marvel. I've never seen such a structure which disperses traffic so well.

14. The underground metro railway rocks. It's on par with world class trains.

15. This place is so damn friggin hot that I tend to sweat even while having a bath. (shower mein shower.) So the only solution: have a bath with a bucket of water which has been chilled in the fridge (my mom doesn't agree)

16. The 'iyo' word is used so much here. like in a shop you gotta ask "choclate dijiyo" or "pani layio". Hope i dont carry on the same habbit to Hyderabad. Apna shopkeepers...u know..

17. The toddlers here are so intelligent. They talk abt football and Paris Hilton!

18. There are some 25 news channels which are telecast here! Every third channel is a news channel. And each channel has a new breaking news every one minute.

19. All the temples here are run and managed by Tamilians.

20. I don't understand how the people here are able to survive on a diet consisting only of roti and daal!
