"My town in 10 pictures: Delhi”

Delhi is about 52 km long and almost 50 km wide. I think if it were possible, it would have covered 100 km more in each direction, but other bordering states like UP, Haryana, and Rajasthan won’t allow it to do so. However, it has spread practically 200 km in each direction in the name of the National Capital Region.

  

I have reasons to love my city even if there are some flaws which we've been trying to get rid off. I have lived in different cities and some of them were better than Delhi but I still love my city for its uniqueness.

The Yamuna River, Haryana’s villages and metros surrounds my city, Delhi,, and Rajasthan state’s desert and hilly area of the Aravalli range. My city has an ancient historical background, but it has kept itself green to a large extent. But don’t get confused by my statement that has the word "green" in it. The population of my city might surprise you because few countries have as many people as my city alone.

In 2022, the Delhi Metro will have a population of 32,066,000 people.But if we talk about the Delhi National Capital Region, the population is close to 600 million, with an area of 55,083 km2.

Let me clarify here that I took all these pictures in 2018, when I had just returned to Delhi for a brief break from Sydney and wanted to see my city before I was supposed to go back to Australia for the next three years.

Qutb Minar

So I posted these ten pictures that may or may not be from famous places, but from the angle, people would not showcase them as famous or popular. I chose them because, even if they are from famous places, my selection of spot or angle from which I took them is different. I have tried to showcase them so the world sees them from my point of view.

For instance, how many of you have seen the Qutb Minar, the minaret that is part of over 50 very popular buildings in the Qutb complex in Mehrauli, from such a close spot? I will give you two images of this minaret to give you a better idea of its scrupulous value.

Metro Walk Walking Mall , New Delhi

I’ve been to hundreds of malls in New Delhi, but Metro Walk Walking Mall is my favorite because it has all the shops on the ground floor, no escalators, all the shops are separate from one another, and there is a large water sports complex inside the mall complex itself.

a lovely water sports complex where you can spend a few hours.

Chandni Chowk, Delhi

And when I was in Chandni Chowk, I walked past the Delhi Railway Station and clicked a few shots, but I would show you something different. This park is just in front of the station where you can feed these birds.

Satyam INOX Cinema Delhi

Satyam INOX Patel Nagar is my favorite multiplex cinema, where I go to watch my favorite Indian and international movies. I am not ashamed to admit that I get a concessionary pass because I have a close connection with management.

Akshar Dham, Delhi

Can you imagine how disappointed I was? I was in front of the Akshardham temple after traveling for almost one hour amid the traffic, and I was not allowed to carry my phone, wallet, or camera inside the temple. I wanted to take photographs because I do not visit places with a religious angle, so I came back after taking a few photos from the outside.

Thomas School

I couldn’t stop myself from taking a picture of St. Thomas School Indirapuram because this school is close to my residence, and I sometimes wonder why most teenagers use their motorbikes to come to school and increase the traffic, especially during the mornings and afternoons when the traffic situation becomes almost chaotic as traffic comes to a halt.

So, guys, you can see I am not telling you all the things that sound like boasting about my magnificent city with thousands of beautiful spots, but I am also trying to give you a different scenario that needs our attention.
