Radio Meow FM
by illumina
While we were adjusting to the time difference, we listened to local radio on a couple of evenings and found Meow FM (104.8FM). They played some good old 80s and 90s indie music which we enjoyed, and had some interesting talk and phone-in pieces for their mainly female listeners (it's station aimed at women). But what kept us hooked was their catchphrase - we had no idea what it means, but we found it quite amusing! Thodi Meethi, Thodi Catty! (I've since learned it means a little sweet, a little catty!). http://meowfm.com/delhi.html
The Iron Pillar
by SirRichard
One thing you cannot miss in the Qutab Minar is this column, built around 400 AD. Scientists have not discovered how this 7 metres high iron pillar, which is of such purity that it has not rusted after 2000 years, could be cast with the technology of the time. It is said that if you can encircle the pillar with your hands whilst standing with your back to it, your wish will be fulfilled!! (I did it ;-))

Taxi
by diageva
Taxi is what you should take for long distances, for example to go to the airport or to the other side of Delhi. They are more expensive than rickshaws, but they are not very expensive, they will wait for you and bring you back if you need it for very little. As other transports you have to speak about the price before taking it.
At the airport you take prepaid taxies at a window you will find at the outside
Airport - Hotel Relax (near Connaught place) 250 R.
Taxi cross Delhi and back waiting for us nearly one hour .200 R
Taxi Agra - Delhi 2.900 R
Taxi Delhi - Agra is more expensive cause they have to pay taxes or something like that
