The Capital, Meri Dilli Meri Shaan
Delhi, Dilli, Dehli, Indraprastha, the city is and has always been the first and the best city of India since forever.
Be it hymns of Mahabharata or shaayari of Mirza Ghalib, my city has been celebrated since anitiquity. Millions have died and are still dying on its roads to achieve their Delhi Dreams. Delhi is the Jewel in India's crown, many from Akbar to the British tried to shift India's focus from Delhi to other cities but they all had to come back to it. India can have another Bombay, Chandigarh or Bangalore but no other city can become Delhi. Funny thing is Delhi is so unique that we never hear any comparisons of it to any other city, or Delhi trying to be some other city. (e.g. Bombay is called NYC of India or wannabe Shanghai of India). Delhi is so great that even her satellite towns are becoming prime cities in India.
Delhi the greenest city is home to millions of people, and the only major city in the world of which Jats are a native population. From Muslims and Baniyas of Chandani Chowk to the Punjabis of Lajpat Nagar; from the Tibetan Refugees of North Delhi to the illegal Bangladeshis of East Delhi, all call Delhi their home. Delhi has accepted everyone in its fold but at a price to pay. And this price is the sheer toughness of this city, Delhi is a hard place to be for faint hearted. Roads are battlegrounds, living is expensive, public facilities are overflowing, ropies, dopies beggars, peddlars, hookers, muggers, fairies, pimps, rapists, corrupts, all the scum seems to have landed on Delhi streets along with never ending garbage. But then to live in Delhi its all worth it.
Delhi has best food, best schools, best fashion, best shopping, best clubs, best bars, best dressed people, biggest religious places, best roads, in all of India.
And people, well what should I say about them, being a Delhiite myself I know that writing these praises on this forum only adds to my modesty and humility. We Delhiites know that what Delhi is and what other cities are like, we know where one stands and what a city's scene is and call it cocky but not many Delhiites will get on to proving or speak praises of there city, we just know the facts
and see them happening everyday. Dilli hai Dilwaalon ki.
I wish I could share the feeling that I get when I say I am from Delhi, Delhi the city that shaped and shapes India, Delhi the city that destroyes itself and then comes back with a bang, Delhi India's heart, Delhi. Once again Meri Dilli Meri Shaan
