Delhi A Magnanimous Living - eTailing India Expo 2017 Travel Guide

1. Delhi is a city where time travel is feasible. Step aboard your time machine (the sleek and efcient metro) and you can go from Old
Delhi, where labourers haul sacks of spices and jewellers weigh gold on dusty scales, to modern New Delhi, with its colonial-era
parliament buildings and penchant for high tea. Then on to the future: Gurgaon, a satellite city of sky-scraping ofces and glitzy
malls.
This pulsating metropolis has a bigger population than Australia, and is one of the world's most polluted cities. But woven into its rich
fabric are moments of pure beauty: an elderly man threading temple marigolds; Su devotional songs; a boy ying a kite from a
rooftop.
So don't be put off. Delhi is a city that has been repeatedly ravaged and reborn, with vestiges of lost empires in almost every
neighborhood.There'ssomuchtoexperiencehere,it'slikeacountryinitself.
