A Little Bit Of Moo
by keeweechic
One thing that took me by surprise was the cows that has taken residence on the raised median strip along this busy road. While I had seen them around the small streets of my hotel in Mumbai, this was a demanding road with no one tending them. Above them ran one of the busiest railway lines in Delhi. How did they get themselves there? I have no idea. Some apparently get themselves to places, some are placed their by their owners (somehow) and left for others to bring feed to.
Delhi Offices
by diageva
As rents at Delhi are very expensive you will find that many offices like travel agencies, money change, banks, shops, hotels ... aren`t at street floor but at 1st or more top floors. Getting up through dark and dirty steps you don't think something good is comming after, but yes ... there are good offices up there ...

Get what u want - Sarojinagar Market
by srhussaini about Market
Sarojini Nagar Market is a lively market where middle-class locals shops are around.
It's a good place just to stroll around and take in the chaos, as it has pedestrian-only zones -- a rarity in India. Shopkeepers boisterously hawk their wares while workers unload goods from auto- and cycle-rickshaws, shoppers scurry about, and diners pause over plates of greasy street food.
The back streets of Sarojini are famous for selling rejected export apparel at bargain prices. The market is open from about 10:30 AM to 7 PM and closed Monday. Garments, Gifts & etc. Reasonable prices
New bus fleet...
by husain
The Govt run/owned Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has been phasing out the old busses and replacing them with thousands of modern ones.
There are also air conditioned (red) busses, which are priced a bit higher (min rs 10 fare, max rs 25), are much less crowded.
The infamous `blueline' busses, which were known for dangerous driving and being responsible for much chaos on the road, are on their way out.
Bus routes are also being rationalised, so as to connect seamlessly with the metro train network.
There has also been a recent addition of hop on- hop off ( or `ho-ho') busses, which are meant for tourists, and run along routes relavant to tourists. They are not too many in number just yet, but should be easy to spot, since theyre coloured purple! I believe they run at 30 mins frequence as of now. Last heard, there were plans to convert these into double decker open top busses, like the london bus concept, with the lower deck being airconditioned and the upper level eing open...
