I have been living in the city of Delhi since last 2 years...and experiencing different things at different point of time...everything teaches me something...or u can say that the life here has made me like this only that i try to learn something new from everything...the city wont bereft u from anything..whatever u think,u wil find it here...the city gives u an opportunity to experiment with different things...the city is not so occupied like Moombai neither it is so cool like Hyderabad or Bangalore...
Last few days have realy shattered my views...i m xperiencing it like a hell..the xperience is resisting me to think anything good about Delhi...yup,i m talking about the weather here..
The capital of India seems to be a land locked city.The climate is very much peculiar.Both the summers and winters use to be at its heights.The temperature range varies from 45 degrees in summers to 4 degrees in winters.The winters are marked by mist and fog in the mornings. In summers the heat wave is immense and adequate precaution has to be taken before going out in the hot summer afternoons.Though i am an outsider i am not getting al the materialistic things which i had been getting in my home.And i have to think thousand times before venturing into something keeping in mind my monthly expenses.I can understand the hardship of an outsiders who are living so far from their parents,depriving themselves from the other worldly concerns,struggling hard to make their careers.If i go thru my personal experience,the climate never allows me to be honest to my schedule of doing anything.
The load shedding problem here never withdraws its participation from making the situation worse.The problem doesn't rest here.Let me summarise the situation.
What kind of city is Delhi? From the moment you step out on the roads to the moment when you think that you are in the privacy of your own room, Delhi invades you. As i have mentioned, the weather itself ready to kill u like anything. The auto wallah will fleece you, the bus conductor may just crack your head open with a crowbar, you will watch women being molested on the bus, you will see stupid men behind wheels kill each other on the roads due to rash driving, you will see the worst forms of exploitation of the poor and the powerless, politicians endorsing hatred and violence, you will come home to brown water gushing from your tap and you will sleep drenched in sweat because there is no electricity. This is an usual day in Delhi and none of this is unusual. This will happen to you almost every day.
So the way i had started perceiving Delhi has got changed.I dont have any appreciative regard for it.
I still regret that the glass buildings wont serve you anymore until and unless the government starts thinking of the very basic needs of human being.
Obviously it is a city of immigrants and living each day in Delhi is an act of survival.From my experience i can just say that it is becoming a city of everything and nothing.
The efforts should be from al the sides.The denizens should also make their efforts to keep the city clean and green.They should step up everything what they can do for the development of the city from all sides.
Efforts are always better than daydreaming.So what we see while dreaming,there is no harm in experimenting al the dreams.So keep thinking and keep dreaming.

Never been to Delhi...well sounds like it's a tough city to live in...

I believe my article is more reflecting the flipper side of Delhi...
like other metros the city is suffering from some pros and cons..bt i dnt find the city so gud like Mumbai and Hyderabad...
it is the capital city of India..it is the city which has gt the highest number of millionaires comparatively other metros...the city's infrastructure is developing like a hell....
if u c the ground level,this is the metro city where u find no woman feel safer walking down the streets after 10 in the night...anything can be happened with u anytime and by any1...
really? That sounds like a very unsafe place! Why dun the authorities do anything abt it? Besides isnt the Commonwealth games gonna be in Delhi next time? Security is a very imp part of a city as much as it's beauty and popularity are.
Keshi.
Yup...Delhi is the venue for the next commonwealth games which is going to be held in the year 2010...thats why i had mentioned that the infra is getting very much attention from the government...bt on the safety side,the situation doesn't seem to be so stable..and for this our cops shud be well attentive and should be ready to discard themselves from the corruption...so on this part i can bet that the situation is still the same...
so lots of efforts are yet to be taken...
and until and unless al of us discharge our responsibilities honestly,then only v can dream of developed India and developed Delhi....
Me lived in almost all metros of india...and even me liked delhi the least.
Even mumbai is horrible sometimes...but ateast ppls are decent here.And cities like hyd is heaven in front of these.Had best of times living in hyd...this city surely rocks.
Rite now i am in bangalore....its almost 50 days since i came here and even bangalore is much better than delhi or mumbai...the best part being its awesom weather.It compensates for most of the other things lacking in the city :)
**and until and unless al of us discharge our responsibilities honestly,...
spot on!
Keshi.
@coolvir
the people of any city enhances the charm of a city or town...so in this case Delhi is egregious...majority of people here are not gud...and not co-operative...very much pretentious too...
i have been to Hyd and Mumbai..the people thr r so gud...the Deilithies shud learn something from the people of these metros...
there's a lot to criticise in delhi.. we can go on and on.. there was a time when i felt it was the best.. not anymore.. yet it's the place i'v been born and brought up.. so im still attached to it.. memories,friends.. everything;s here..
@neha
i accept that the dilwalon ki Delhi...bt this old saying seems to be wrong these days...there is obviously a special affection to the place where u've been born and brought up...
good work
