Arriving to the capital city of Delhi , I found it to be better than Mumbai on many issues. For one it’s has a better standard of living alongside a lower cost of living. Two great combinations. I did find the pollution on certain day to be overwhelming, but I haven’t forgotten that Delhi is the first city around the world to adopt a ‘green’ CNG fuel for it’s public transportation system which I took from the airport to one of the Four Star Hotels in Delhi where I had book a room for the week.
Delhi is definitely more affordable than Mumbai, where I just came from. I’ve heard that I might be able to find a very reasonable price in regard to real estate. So, switching from wanting to live in Mumbai to living in Delhi was an easy choice. I can’t imagine surviving in Mumbai given the shear astronomical cost of eating out or how much vegetables cost there. I don’t make that much money, and Mumbai would make me almost a pauper .
So, living in Delhi will be like living in luxury. Delhi is a dream city for me because I’m a history addict and an art lover. Delhi has been India’s capital before time and every dynasty left it’s own architectural grandeur for me to explore and appreciate. Moreover, I’ll enjoy watching the changing of the seasons; Delhi has a pleasant winter, where Delhi is a fashion Mecca parade of people dressed to impress in their winter wools. For spring I’ll be able to see all the well-planned tree-lined streets turn from a barren skeleton canopy to a new flowering blossoming wonderland all the while witnessing the morning ragas by the musical stalwarts at Nehru Park. I’ll also have the fun of changing my wardrobe every six months.
I have found my new home in Delhi and I am very excited and happy that there is such a wonderful place here in India. Truly a dream come true for me.
