Delhi - Heart of India

July 09, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

We had friends visiting us from Europe and I was their guide. They wanted to explore Delhi to know more about the mesmerizing history of this city. They informed me that it was very easy to get tickets to Delhi. They booked tickets online from a reliable agent and also got a chance to compare the prices and take the best fare. International airlines like Jet Airways, Air France, British Airways, and Turkish Airlines offered regular  cheap airfares flights to the capital of India .

Rightly said, Delhi is indeed the heart of India’s political and financial system. It is here that the huge government offices are found and major discussions and bills are passed. Delhi is abuzz with action all year round. As contrast to Old Delhi, New Delhi is vibrant and happening city. It is the capital of India and had a treasure of cultural heritage to offer.

Delhi is the first choice among many vacationers given its vast collection of museums, domes, temples and domes. People in Delhi welcome foreigners with open hearts and smile. They are accustomed to the tourists and offer help and guidance when asked for.

We visited the main tourist attractions - the Qutub Minar which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The surrounding area is beautiful and converted into a park and one can find it full of picnickers.

Other sites that we visited were the Tomb of Humayun, the Red fort and the numerous museums. The Tomb of Humayun was constructed using red sandstone with a splendid courtyard. The view is gorgeous and is a true tribute from a wife who missed her husband dearly.

The Red fort is also made of red sandstone and is gigantic. We enjoyed the sound and light show which is captivating and offers a unique combination of movement and music.

Delhi has many museums which reflect the ancient culture and traditions of the India. No less enthralling are the scenic and green parks and gardens and the historic monuments.

Food is a complete zone to explore. Numerous local delights are available to suit different taste buds. We indulged in the local chats and mouth-watering street food. Also one can go overboard at world-class restaurants which are plentiful here. Delhi is also experimenting with Lebanese, Italian, Chinese, Korean cuisine as well.

Delhiites love to eat and drink. You can find decent and modern pubs and nightclubs where the young and energetic step out and have a gala time. They dance on latest movie songs and drink their hearts out.

There are plenty of fun activities here. You can watch the latest Hollywood and Bollywood flicks or catch up excellent plays or dramas at the National Theater. Delhi is very trendy when it comes to fashion. Locals adapt the latest trend be it international or national and also carry it well. There are may up-market malls to shop in. One can also shop in interesting small shops in the by-lanes provided you can haggle well.

I could feel that my visitors immensely enjoyed Delhi. The city will leave you very contented and you will want to come back to it again.
 

Following the Footsteps of Mahatma the Apostle of Non-Violence

March 28, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

Whenever I hear about a terrorist attack or war, I remember Mahatma Gandhi. As Albert Einstein told once, he is such a nice person that the coming generations will never believe that he lived on this earth. The great soul who taught us the strength of love and nonviolence has inspired me always. That is why I got thrilled when I got a chance to visit Delhi on an official tour. India has become one of the largest markets in the world with a large purchasing capacity. That is why none of the multinationals want to skip Delhi from their business map. Even my company also does not want to do that. My mission was to conduct a survey before launching our products there.

Being an official trip, I did not struggle much. We had people to manage our itinerary and book our flight deals. They negotiated well and were able to get airline tickets for cheap airfares . Everything went according to the plans and I landed at the Delhi airport. Being the capital city of India it is well connected with all parts of the world and almost all major airlines operate flights to Delhi from different locations. The city at par with any other major cities in the world and all modern facilities are available here. From the moment I landed here I smelt a good future for my company. The market is vast and the people do not mind to spend on purchases.

My official work went according to the plans and there is nothing special to mention about it. The day of my life came on Sunday. Till then in my free time I had visited the famous Red Fort, India Gate, etc in the evenings. Sunday was a holiday and I too did not have much work. So I slept till ten in the morning and after getting fresh I went to Rajghat, the place, where Mahatma Gandhi rests in peace. There were many people there. By the introduction of cheap flights to Delhi, more and more people are visiting Delhi nowadays. Delhi is a part of the famous golden triangle of India which consists of Agra, where the Tajmahal the monument of eternal love situates and Jaipur, the desert city.

Anyhow, the most attractive thing in Delhi for me is the presence of Mahatma. This was the place where he spent most of his life and taught us to love each other and to hate violence. I went inside Rajghat. I sat there near the place where he was cremated and thought to myself, here lays the person who held the people of a large country in his hands. He did not have physical strength. He was not an expert in using weapons. He never gave hot speeches. However, he knew what love is and expressed it in the right way.


 
He conveyed to millions of people through his heart and people responded to his unconditional love. I felt like acquiring a sort of energy from the space there. I felt his presence near me. I felt him telling me to say no to war and violence. When I returned from there with a heavy heart, I decided to purchase international tickets for Delhi and visit Rajghat again.
