In love with clichés.
[Text and pictures by Mayank Austen Soofi]
Paharganj = Foreign tourists. Kinari Bazaar = Narrow streets. Khan Market = Rich-looking people. Turkman Gate = Ghetto Muslims. Select Citywalk = Mall rats. Gali Qasim Jaan = Ghalib's haveli. Connaught Place = White pillars. Punjabi Bagh = Punjabi families. GB Road = Sex workers. Gali Parathe Walli = Steamy parathas. Basant Lok = Barcoded consumers. Lodhi Road = Leafy trees.
Trying to get a sense of the place often translates to seeing it through the prism of its popular clichés. It is an easy exercise, but the result is shallow in wisdom and only partially true. Take a look.

Very nice capture of life in Delhi.I like shot outside ghalib memorial as best.
Nice post. I just wish MCD had stricter building codes with strict enforement to better protect heritage building, e.g. ban ugly overhanging wires and billborards at Connaught Place.
