The Backstreets of Delhi

The streets of Delhi are only for the brave of heart. They provide as much adventure and excitement as rock climbing or river rafting. If you're not a regular shopper and bargaining doesn't come naturally, then the street vendors will eat you alive, much the same way you might gorge on Delhi's famous street chaat. If you're the kind to be aloof and look down on the seeming masses, then you better run. Because you don't belong, not in Delhi. But if you're open to explore, then there's a treat in store for you. Every street is unique, yet nothing is left out. It's chaos, yet never jarring. And the spirit of Delhi is tangible you can feel it like a ribbon snaking in between the crowd, tying everyone together. So listen very closely, and you'll hear it. You'll hear Delhi, with the concerts as well as the street side vendors hawking their wares at the top of their lungs. A place so unique, that there are beautiful parks in the middle of markets, five-stars dining right next to chaat bandhaars. Tourists and locals mingle as one. At that moment, you're not rich, poor, high or low. You're in Delhi, and everyone fits in.
