Old Delhi, New Delhi, Any Delhi

If India is the country of contrasts, then Delhi is certainly the appropriate capital. Serviced, among others, by hordes of muscly-calved Indians treading away at cycle rikshas (the Mumbaikers even turn up their noses as normal auto rikshas), it is also the home of one of the most efficient, clean and generally spit-free underground system I have yet had the pleasure to use. The London Public Transport Board should consider a study trip.
But the charm of having a cow stroll along main road is probably something which wears rather thin rather quickly, especially if you are in a hurry. On the whole, Mumbai is still my personal number one, but Delhi has potential. And I would be interested in seeing what it looks like after the current spate of "digging hole and filling it again" has been successfully terminated. You never know. India has a tendency to surprise.
