Visited Delhi for the first time, but it felt like I had been there before. I was only able to visit for a few hours, i wish I could explore more but the conditions in which I came didnt allow it.

Even though it was hot and humid, I was so excited to visit delhi, the weather/pollution didn’t bother me a bit. I was like a baby with candy hoping it would never end. My interaction with people were limited but the ones I has were amazing. The metro is amazing, the hustle and bustle of city is unique. The architecture is beautiful and the food was delicious.

I mentioned to the owner of a bookshop in urdu bazar I was of Pakistani origin and he looked at me like I was some alien. Even though we both were talking to eachother in Urdu.

Hopefully will visit again!!

Please dont ask how I was able to visit india.

I have visited many a cities but your city is much more than just anyother. It’s a feeling(hasaas, ehsaas) that stays with you. It almost seems like I visited it in a passing dream. The desire dearly to pass by again is so deep, to walk the streets just once more. To look over the beautiful bosphorus again and bow down at Sultan Ahmet Mosque in prayer maybe one last time.

But this city isnt mine, it’s yours. I was just a traveler, you are the life of this city, it’s true inheritors and caretakers. Please take good care of it!!
