&What I like and do not like about Delhi&

A true Delhiite ... I am ready to stand for Delhi whenever there is a debate on the city and its culture. Somehow I always tend to take it personally ha ha ( can't help feeling that ). I am ready with swords and sticks to defend it.. however here are some things I like a dislike about the city:

What I Like:
  • The city experiences all 4 seasons - summer, winter, spring and autumn.
  • The cities delicious food. Seriously,.... I've travelled to so many places but never found food as sumptuous as this. .. I think taste lies in the Delhi water ;) Chat, daal makhani, paneer, mithai.. paranthe... never tasted as good as here
  • Delhi metro... it rocks
  • The kind of job opportunities you have in and around Delhi, NCR
  • The swanky shopping malls side by side the street markets like Sarojini Nagar, etc. Shopping cannot get better and cheaper than Delhi. The fashion capital
  • The greens of Lutyens Delhi. Amazing roads and greenery near India gate.
  • The unlimited options to watch movies anywhere you go. PVR's cineplexes
  • The eye catching crowd... Call me biased,... but Delhi folks are the best looking people in the country..
  • The wide expanse and historical monuments
  • The feeling of being alive which only a Delhiite can experience.. The pace and spirit of the city.
What I don't like
  • The maddening traffic jams. Like in Delhi is a big traffic jam, you step out of the house and you cannot guess when you will reach your destination
  • The hot temper of people on roads... Aggression and road rage over little things. Life is so fast that people, in general, lose patience over trivial issues
  • The summer heat is crazy.....
  • The creepy feeling that the city gives to women at night
  • The lack of inherent discipline ( queues or throwing garbage on the road after eating)
