Delhi Delights
People asked me why I chose Delhi for this edition, rather than any of the other glamorous cities in India.
This capital of the land of snake charmers, great thinkers, Mughals and sultans has a charm all its own.
Through the dynamic blend of the old and the new, Delhi proudly interlaces - like no other city in the world - the country's traditional social structure within a modern, globalized, and liberalized economy.
Trust me, the whole experience is a must - to be lived amongst its contrasting colors and inhabitants in a state of almost devotional intensity and subtle emotion.
Namaste.
