June 25, 2010

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had been to Delhi before. But I think I was naive then, not to notice the shortcomings of this city. Today we went on the customary one day trip of Delhi.

Delhi is fucking hot and boring. Other than the wonderful Delhi metro [which is easily the best metro in India as of today], I liked nothing here.The whole city looks like being repaired for the upcoming Commonwealth games what with many of the monuments closed or being renovated [India gate, Akshardham ...]. And the rest half of the roads have blockades courtesy Delhi Metro.

- I observed seperate lanes for public transport buses and cars on some busy roads, which is appreciable.
- And only the roads leading to and around the Rashtrpati Bhavan seemed good to me.
- Every second road was named [either after or before] Nehru, Rajiv or Indira.


A great snap at Indira Gandhi Memorial


An interesting signboard at TeenMurthi Bhavan


India Gate


Another signboard that indicates the seperate lanes for buses, I was talking about
