MY Experince In Delhi

[I m writing this just to share my experience in Delhi and from this it might not be considered that as I m against North :) {If you are from North India(Mainly Delhi) better not read this !!}  :)  ]

   I have completed 42 days in Delhi by today. I want to share some of my experience in this Great City, the capital city of our nation.

 

   One might have heard about this city and the facilities and infrastructure which are luxurious. Also some of you might want to be in Delhi and experience the life here in this metropolitan city. But living here in Delhi is not so easy, particularly if you are from South India.

   When I planned to come to Delhi, I had many expectations about this place and people here. The places and facilities here were more than my expectations, but people were not. As far I have seen the people in Delhi lack hospitality, there way of interacting with people is not withstandable(But still Girls are superb to see!! Just to see!! :) )

It will be highly difficult to stay in Delhi without knowing Hindi. I m thankfull to Abhinav, my B.E. roommate who helped me to learn Hindi. I would also like to thank Varun Gupta, Akshay Malhotra, Ankit Jaiswal and others who are part of my learning of Hindi.

  As I mentioned the people of Delhi lack hospitality, they also lack culture and they lack the basic humane behaviour. There is a High school some 400 feet from my room, and I have seen students(Maximum 10th class) drinking beer and smoking cigarettes during their break. In Delhi it is common that you can see a girl smoking in public near colleges and shopping malls as it is in case of boys in Bangalore. Even if you go to a hotel, they won’t treat you as you are treated in Bangalore. All the people here are 'Business Minded'.

  My friend(Dipak) in Bangalore used to say that 'it was not the outer beauty that has to be considered but the inner beauty i.e,character'(He had a reason to say this, that's secondary !!). I felt that it was true to a greater extent when I saw people here. They seem to be good by seeing, but once you interact with them you will be able to know their inner character.

 It is meaningful to state-"Sirf naam ke liye Dilli hai, lekin kisi ke paas Dil tho hai nahi" i.e, "Delhi(Dilli) is just in name, but no one has the heart(Dil)".

 Now let me share some instances that took place in Delhi:

  

  (1) My friend(Dipak), his sister and his parents came from Bangalore to Delhi during their North India trip amid this Diwali week. They went to a Hotel(not to name the hotel) for lunch, they were shocked to see the prices of items in the menu(Coffee-Rs.60, Nan-Rs.100, Gravy-Rs.600). They then decided to go to another hotel and were about to go out from there, then something amazing happened! The waiter gave them another menu which was identical with the previous one but the prices in this new menu were reduced to 25% of the previous prices.(Coffee now came to Rs.15 from Rs.60!). Dipak was astonished to experience this 'Dual Menu Act' and even me when I heard this! This was the first time that I heard something like this-'Dual Menu'!

   (2) My laptop was to be serviced due to some display problem(My laptop needs regular interval diagnosis!). I took it to an authorised hp service centre. They checked it and I was told that there was some problem with display chip and it needed a replacement and the charge would be Rs.6000. I was shocked to hear it, because some 6 months back there was same problem and I gaot it replaced for Rs.2800 and for my benefit the bill of that was there in my bag only, I showed them the bill and argued with them but still I had to pay Rs.4000.

  (3) Lastly I would like to tell about my room owner. I stay in a single room in IARI campus. If someone comes to my room, she raises 100 questions. She tells not to use more water, not to go out of room after 10PM and compels many more restrictions.(So planning  to change the room!)

  These are just some of my experiences in Delhi over a little period of just 42 days. Similar to these there are many experiences. But I m helpless to myself, I have to be here. I wish I would complete my work here and go back to Bangalore at the earliest. I want to go to Bangalore at the earliest as I m missing my parents, brother, sister and mainly MY FRIENDS. 

 (To inform again, I m not against Delhi or its people :) )
