I asked my soul, what is Delhi?
It replied the world is the body Delhi it’s soul.
- Mirza Ghalib

“Be aware because you will be robbed”, they say about Delhi
Be careful or you will lose your heart in Delhi.
Don’t read what you see on the walls in Lodhi garden,
read the poems lost in the old bookshops in Delhi.
Take the metro and see those
