A Place Full of Drama - Delhi.

We went to Delhi for a friend's wedding. The wedding itself was great. It was one of those high, up market weddings in which it was all about what you were wearing or who you were wearing and all that jazz. The wedding was presided by 2 events, we went for one which was the Mehendi function. It was kind off in the open. So we Mumbaiwalas froze. It was cold. The next two days was the actual wedding and the reception. again we froze because it was cold. The wedding party had organised heaters so it was comfortable around them heaters.

I will come to the main point of this post. Well I felt Delhi has a a lot of drama with an attitude attached to it. People can be so daft. Its not funny. People out there are not ready to acknowledge the fact that they don't know something. They have to show there intelligence. Will give you an example. When you ask for directions to a place they won't say they don't know but they will say that it just 5 minutes down the road you are on. But its not only on an entirely different road but in a completely opposite direction. 

Then if you open your mouth and say that you are from Mumbai then you are bombarded with one or all of the following three topics. One whether we know anyone from Bollywood or are related to any of them. Two the underworld and Three and most popular 26/11 whether any of us saw or had someone we knew in the venues of the attacks. Its not funny how they ask these question.

We have always heard of the Delhi Walas showing off about their connections to some politician or a land lord or some big police fellow. We had just heard of it but had never seen it in person. One night we went to a night club called F bar and we witnessed the show off in person. One local guy throws a glass at this foreigner guy and starts yelling " You don't know who I am . I am Lucky". Apparently his name was Lucky and the other guy was just Marcel and was unlucky. well that was a high drama there.

Then of course we women went shopping to the usual places and did what we do best. we went to Chandni Chowk for the Parathas In the Parathe Wali gali. Those had its own charm. Chandni Chowk is know famously called Delhi 6 after the movie by the same name. 

I all we noticed that Delhiwalas were always wanting to compete with Mumbaikars but sadly don't know that Mumbaikars are not even in a competition. 

Its a place of high drama and zero expectations. I would say its a livable city provided you have a car and the attitude to live there. 

In the end I would just say the line from the movie Delhi 6- Yeh Delhi Hai Mere Yaar!!!
