Totally away from the maddening crowds and traffic of Old Delhi, i experienced another Old delhi in the lap of mother nature, among chirping fo birds and blossoming flowers. The guide was a native of Old Delhi so he took us to a hidden "Mughal" garden of old delhi with tall ruins and green landscape. so much of history i learnt over there. Old delhi is not about trampling unruly crowds, beggars and nagging rickshaw pullers. Come and see yourself there is a green calmer side also of Old Delhi. You are astonishing Mr Brahm!
discovered a hidden green paradise and that too in the crowded Old Delhi, actually the guide didnot take the usual market area of Old Delhi, instead he took me to a muhgal era garden full off lush greenery and birds. Tall ruins inside the park were laden with a lot of history. I fell in love with the place and with the guide also. Both the place and the guide's personality was captivating....
Akshardham temple complex was breathtaking, amazing feat of engineering. it was a pleasure to walk with guide Mr Brahm . also the bicycle rickshaw ride into a nearby traditional and bustling neighbourhodd was amazing. glittering bazaars and shops were amazing
