Thumbs Up
by l_joo
The restaurant we had our lunch has some waiters never stop looking at 2 of us, probably rare to serve foreign tourists. To let them know we are happy with the foods they served, Andy smiles to them and show them a common Universal gesture with a thumb high up representing good. Who knows that two waiters went out to the street for a while and I heard them talking to each other in Hindi language. Minutes later, one of them came to us together with 2 bottles of Coca-cola look-alike soft drinks. He opens both the bottle caps in front of us and then walks away. Me and Andy staring at each other in confused. We thought they usually serve customers this way with free drinks after meals but later I look closely at the logo of the bottle, Thumbs Up.
Auto-Rickshaws
by June.b
The way around Delhi or India in general, is the Auto-rickshaws.
These yellow roofed open sides tricycles are reliable and you can always find it anywhere, for nearer destinations they're cheap. I paid I guess 20 rupees for a kilometer or two drive. They have meter if you prefer but if it is not really far, you may always bargain.
It's fun, you get to see the sights, hear the sounds and smell the....pollution(?).
It's fun anyway and they can always get through the traffic congestion.
The Pizzas, Burgers & coffee shops!
by intencity about Nirula’s/ McDonalds/Barista
For burgers, pizzas and their ilk, Delhi is proud to present its very own “Nirula’s” besides McDonalds. Nowadays, the old coffee houses have lost out to more market-savvy new entrants like Barista, Breadsmith and Patissier’s Gallery. Their advantage is the range of coffee on offer, plus a new range of sbnacks from flapjacks to cinnamon rolls that attract the hip set. The Big Boy burger at Nirula’s!
HEIGHT OF ELEGANCE - THE QUTB MINAR (3)
by Siddha3th
Within the Qutb Minar enclave, there are various other beautiful structures to see as well. I didn't visit with a guide, so I won't be able to tell you their names.
But it's a real pleasure walking through the perfectly manicured lawns that surround the tower, and then trudging up the rocky pathways to get a better vantage point of the surroundings.
So when you make it to Delhi, be sure to drop in to this 'spear in the sky' which has become so integral to the identity of the city.
Trishawing to school
by l_joo
Many school kids here probably were arranged by their parents to take on trishaw to school and back home, I saw so many when I strolled on street. Some have 5 to 6 on one trishaw, thus intrigued my attention. Surprisingly the trishaw guy can still pedal quit fast, I need to be quick with my camera, otherwise captured nothing.
