Marvelous Places to Explore in Delhi

New Delhi, the capital of India has a lot to offer in terms of old world charm and modern delights. The overall charisma of ancient monuments, rich history and contemporary delights will surely impress every visitor, who wants to come and explore this magnificent city. The contemporary Delhi is a proud metropolis compromising high rise buildings, gleaming malls and friendly people, which fascinated me a lot during my last trip to the city. The best time to visit Delhi would be between October and March as the weather gets extremely hot and humid during the summer season. I last visited Delhi in November, and the weather was quite pleasant during that time. The morning and evening cold certainly helped me in exploring the magnificent Red Fort, Qutub Minar, India Gate, Parliament House, Jama Masjid, and Humayun’s Tomb to name a few. Moreover, newer tourist attractions such as Lotus Temple, Akshardam Temple, and ISKON to name a few gave me an insight into the tourist-friendly Delhi. These tourist-friendly places will be among the best places to visit and explore from October to March as this period is considered the optimal climate of delhi.
When I visited Akshardam Temple, the overall feeling of spiritual satisfaction took me to a attractiveness of the temple. Lodi Gardens, National Rail Museum and Jantar Mantar satisfied my travel expectations to the fullest. The overall ancient architectural brilliance exemplified the aura and splendor of the Mughal rulers, who reigned over Delhi. The summer season can get very harsh for the visitors with temperatures reaching as high as 48 degrees, therefore it is best to visit Delhi from October to March. However, the winter season might also get severe, but visitors won’t be facing hot winds and blistering heat. I will advise visitors to explore Delhi during festivals such as Diwali, Holi and Navratri as this festive period can be the best time to visit Delhi. Shops offer attractive discounts and other schemes to customers on almost every product during the festive period in order to lure customers. My friends also managed to get attractive branded clothes at discounted rate in Connaught Place when we visited Delhi last November. Moreover, Chandni Chowk, Dilli Haat, and Khan Market to name few are the other attractive shopping destinations where we enjoyed to the fullest, not to forget the mouth-watering street food as well, which we were able to explore because of the favorable climate of Delhi in November.

Securing the safety of the Indian – police stations in India

I had to visit one of the Police stations in India, and that made me realize how long they go in ensuring the safety and the security of our countrymen.  Given that India is such a diverse country and people of the country move within the nation without major constraints, it becomes imperative to secure their safety and ensure that there are not treated badly within our own country.  The police have been empowered to ensure this and are actively involved in the process serving as the friend of the public as well as their savior sparing no effort to ensure that they do their job to the best of their abilities.

In particular the police stations in Uttar Pradesh, that I visited is very active in punishing any miscreants, thereby ensuring the happiness of the locals.  Given that the state has many villages where the literacy levels are considerably at a lower level, the role of the police becomes very important especially in crimes against women- including rape, child abuse, child marriage etc.   I could see the police are very supportive of the public and lend an ear to their miseries that they narrate and see what best they can do to sort out their problem.  Very recently in the backdrop of me reading news about the safety in the state, I could see how the officials at the police stations have performed their duty with such dedication.

However, one thing I want to mention here is that the police stations in India are not a place to be visited only by the wrong doers or the miscreants.  It is our right to walk into these government offices and express our unhappiness or grief and the police officers look into the matter immediately.  I would always suggest to all friends and acquaintances that we need to leave no stone unturned in getting justice for our own needs as this is the right of every citizen of the country.  This is in fact one of our fundamental rights, and we as educated citizens should not let go of this at any cost.

The police stations in Uttar Pradesh are all empowered to take complaints and register FIR.  So, when I, for example, give a complaint in one station, today, because of the technological advancement, the police are able to nab the criminals by passing on the information to the other stations.  I did not that these stations today have specific cells for cybercrime, women cells etc. that are all empowering us to step out with more safety and security and helping us to conduct our life more peacefully.

The capital of India has a multiethnic society as individuals from different states of the country come to Delhi for lucrative career opportunities, best medical facilities and excellent education. Moreover, the city has presence of several domestic as well as international companies as well. Delhi has a very rich cultural heritage, which can be seen in day to day lives of people living in the northern part of India, particularly culture of delhi people. The historical metropolis has still preserved its ancient culture amongst our fast paced cosmopolitan lifestyle. Delhi still reflects its magnificent age-old charm and ethnicity thorough the memories of the colossal Mughal and British architecture. The metropolis is identified for its festivals and fairs of diverse religions celebrated with unmatched fervor and enthusiasm. We tend to celebrate age-old traditional fairs and festivals such as Phoolwaalon-Ki-Sair with same enthusiasm and interest. With ever
increasing number of individuals migrating from different states to Delhi, the regional festivals such as Durga Pooja and Chhath Puja are also observed. Moreover, striking malls, Cineplex’s, discotheques, lounges and fine dining restaurants have also had an effect on the overall lifestyle of delhi people.  

We as Delhiites were ready to welcome different athletes and tourists from different regions of the globe during the momentous Commonwealth Games. In addition, different social, literary and arts events in the city are to be arranged during these days. These include drama, dance, health, food, music, and even night life, thus portraying a vivid lifestyle of delhi people. Several different forms of dance events are arranged in Delhi that comprises salsa parties, regional dance programs and even easter dance. We really love our food and therefore different types of foods can be explored in the city and it is going to be an ideal spot for foodies. In this scenario, the city’s hotels and restaurants tend to play a very important role. Prominent restaurants such as We2, Pind Balluchi, Haldiram's, Bikanerwala, and 5-star hotels like such as The Connaught, Le Meridian, Oberoi, and Taj to name a few provide some mouth-watering options. These eating joints actually cater to different categories and budgets of people. We love to eat and discussion about our food is in fact not complete without the booze and drinks. The culture of delhi people is mostly influenced by Punjabis, Jats and Haryanvis, therefore we love our drinks and enjoy a lot during festivals and weddings.
