RE: Everyday life in the streets of Delhi
@mywanderlust, you mentioned about slums in the beginning of your blog, but the common street of Delhi is not a slum. I mean I couldn't see any correlation between slum and the street photos in the blog.
How ever personally, I felt the photos appear to be more of showing Delhi in a poor light. I have been to Delhi on more than one occasion
Of course it has its share of busy streets and traffic. After all Delhi is the capital of the second most populous country in the world. It is world's 4th most populous city. So crowd in the street is given.
Delhi has a history of over 400 years. It's been the seat of power of various kingdoms and empires since centuries, there are hundreds of monumental sites and thousands of heritage buildings here. I would have loved to see the cleaner part of Delhi along with the garbage and animals on road. It would have been a much better balanced view of Delhi to foreign eyes.
Just saying ..
You are right. Delhi is huge. My bad that I used Delhi instead of "old" delhi. Yes there are many beautiful historical places to see in Delhi, mostly tourist spots but what I wanted to show is what you see when you go outside those sites. I try to walk and explore outside those tourist spots and see the place as a local. This place is totally different from western countries but at the same time amazing. Thank you for your comment :))
@mywanderlust, Please forgive me if my comment hurt you. that was not my intention. I was a bit harsh there. India is a beautiful country. Please explore and show us more of our country. I am sorry.
Hi @topdog, no need to apologize my friend. I appreciate any feedback weather good or bad. I can understand what you feel when you read my post since you are from India. Im not saying India is bad. I know there are a lot of beautiful places in India. I've spent months in India from my travels in Asia and I would say India is the highlight of my trip. History, food, culture and of course the people!
@mywanderlust, Thanks for your reply. You have a large heart. Keep steeming. God Bless you with lots of success here .
Thank you sir, you too. I followed you and I hope to learn more about India from your posts. Happy steeming my friend!
