My previous visit to the Rajdhani was typically touristy. This time though its more like an extended holiday; eventhough its work that I have come here to do. And if you ask me this is the best way to discover a city. Go live there, for a month or two.
The walk from the bus stop to home, auto rides, the galli ka kirana store, the children's park around the corner, the bargains - its these that flavor the experience.
I feel at home, in this city. Not sure why. From the moment I landed.
--------------------------------------------
The temperature and pollution here are an issue. But one always finds a way to beat them.
So it was destination Mussoorie - Hrishikesh - Haridwar.
3 of us did the travelling. 8 hours earlier, I had no clue who the other two were and had never laid eyes on them. It is the closest I have come to travelling alone and it makes the whole trip so much cooler.
Reason# 11, why you should go travelling -
to realise how you can will an ailing body to savour the chills of a hill station.

I've always wanted to visit Haridwar.. north India, in general.
Hopefully, I will soon.
I dont think you would hav stepped into Chennai with half as much enthu as you had into Delhi!! :P
No. Seriously speaking, you ll love the city (any city or any town[like hyd ;)] or any village [like Kolar :)]) only when you really start exploring,only when both you and the natives, are willing to make you 'feel at home'.
