Ye Delhi hai mere Yaar..............................

Recently got a chance to visit capital of the Largest Democracy in the world for ..i was pretty excited as this was my first trip to our capital...20 years back when i was a kid my dad got a chance to visit the capital city and he made an adventures trip to Delhi by refusing to follow the railway reservation chart and opted for a road journey and that too with 2 of his juniors in a truck...my journey was not as adventures as him but still I it was amazing.....

The moment I landed in the Delhi i really felt very proud and honored to be a citizen of this wonderful country...the city is really gearing up for the 2010 games and its in the mood of change...

but still has maintained its own charm and culture dont know but i found every corner of the city very welcoming....

History being my favorite subject I got attached to almost all the places I visited during this short trip..i really felt mesmerized when i stood in fornt of the India gate and had a look at the Rajpath. I walked all along the Rajpath from India gate till the Rashtrapati Bhavan and tried to imagine and feel what our  men in uniform must be feeling on 26th Jan every year.

Visit to Lal Kila made me feel very small, the monument is a sign of greatness of our architects and visions of the emperors who made impossible things possible....

But the most memorable thing for me during this stay was my visit to Rajghat. I have always admired Bapu for his honesty,"my experiments with the truth" always kept on telling me that "to be honest is the most difficult thing in this world". I found Rajghat a place where u can sit for hours together without getting disturbed by anything. I spent almost an hour there but when I left, I felt it wasn't sufficient. Its a place which offers you peace and comfort and one cant just stop himself from folding his hands in front of the remains of the Father of our nation... the Mahatma....

All in all I just loved the place, the place which decides the fate of billions of Indians, the place which has got invaded hundreds of times from its existence but still has refused to bow down and stood tall and welcomed all be it Afghans, Moughals or any other invader who arrived here to destroy this beautiful city but could never leave the city and became Indians and remained here forever..... the city whose every corner has a history to tell you, the city which offers laziz kababs and awesome chole bhatura on every nukkad, the City called Delhi the capital of our country......
