rewarding experience....
India a land of snake charmers and magicians
and the capital of this land of mysteries is Delhi. Delhi
is just not a city but it is a book-- a book that narrates
the history of India. The city was built and destroyed seven
times and has been witness to the various events which has
brought India through the history books. Seven times this
city went through the pain of being built and rebuilt.
Today as the capital of India Delhi is the
seat of administration and the monuments which tell the saga
of a bygone era stand there. These icons are testimony to
the grandeur of past and also an attraction for the tourists.
With an area of 1483 sq. Kms, Delhi is all set to acquire
full statehood. The charm of Delhi has attracted Emperors,
Conquerors and poor in equally. It is correctly said that
Delhi is a land of 'Dilwalas' or for people with heart. This
phrase acquires a true colour when one goes around the lanes
of Delhi.
