Paharganj techniques
by l_joo
I am just another backpacker in the street of Main Bazaar Paharganj that day when I saw this guy showing off his skills to tourists. This is a very narrow back street but full of activities such as this one and many others. So many restaurants to choose and so many peoples to look at, even just a drain attracts me so much. My digital camera just couldn't stop snapping and then I saw this man looking at my camera over and over to wait for a shot and I move my hand towards him for this very special one. He wants me to send him the photo, I said okay and pull out a paper with pen for him to write his address but he keep shaking his head. Later he found a guy on street to help him writing the address for me.

Food X
by l_joo about Food X
Don't know what they call this, food X is the name I gave but X does not mean bad foods, instead the X here is so delicious, so fcuking XXX delicious. Don't ask me how to find this place, I can only tell you the location is somewhere there there there in somewhere Paharganj. Streets of Paharganj were probably built in the early days, some are so narrow, about 8-9 feet width only, no way you can tell a tourist the exact directions.
Jama Masjid
by magdalena2007
Jama Masjid is the mosque in Old Delhi. It is one of the largest mosques in India. It felt a bit too touristy for my taste because the only people you saw were mainly Westerners. There were numerous tourist buses outside which probably makes it a bit annoying for the locals. When you walk outside go into the side streets and enjoy the local life a bit (just don't get lost -it's a bit confusing).
