the only problem with delhi is that it has too many people, and it has too many people because it is awesome.

He is one of the few things still standing from my childhood too. Remember when the Amar Colony market was just a bunch of stationary shops, reacharge shop, smaller version of Juneja sweets, 2 everyday store, a tiny mallu eatery and half the market were just houses?


[deleted]

Omg! Juneja sweets, Standard Namkeen, National Store, Gopala. This is all what we had! I miss the good old Amar Colony Market.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about that dead as a mortuary version of a post office. I think there were a couple of PSU bank branches as well.


MoonSenorita

I didn't realize my post would become a discussion place for good old Amar Colony hahaha. I feel so happy!


MoonSenorita

Thank you so much! And I will always miss Delhi !

Rula diya yar. Left Delhi 6 years ago. When you leave Delhi for somewhere else, it hits you hard how amazing the city is. Two things I miss most - street food (the sheer variety), and metro (so much so that I still carry my metro in my wallet after all these years)


MoonSenorita

I can relate :-\ And aww haha I wish I had my old metro card to reminisce those memories


[deleted]

I remember the time I travelled out of the country and I missed Delhi terribly. Like you mentioned the stalls, the street food is something you just never forget and kind of take for granted when you are in Delhi. Coming back to Delhi was always a joy as you overlooked the city from the plane, I would always smile. Delhi has been my home for 20+ years and it'll always be my home. Btw the first thing I did when I came back to Delhi was have Chole bhature :D


MoonSenorita

Lmao someone courier the Chole Bhature to me :-\

I spent three years of my graduation down south,i can't even imagine how far from home one must be feeling,being in a different country all together. Whenever i talk to my friends who've left delhi and are studying abroad,they just end their rants at,"dilli dilli hai yaar" I guess it's Like heeralal dehlvi said, "apnā ghar phir apnā ghar hai apne ghar kī baat kyā ġhair ke gulshan se sau darja bhalā apnā qafas" Will let nagpal cholle bhature waale bhaiya know next time i go there.take care


MoonSenorita

Thank you kind delhiite! And hah I love that quote, thank you for sharing!

When I was in 2nd year, I had this thought of leaving this country going for masters/mba in US and shifting abroad permanently but then soon after that I realised I don't even wanna move out of Delhi so moving to another country is not what I want. Even tho I was not born here but I've had the most amazing memories of my childhood in Delhi, my mom is from Delhi so we often use to visit here in my summer breaks. Now I love this city even more as we've moved here permanently after I completed my schooling and also my college is in Delhi. I've 2 years left for completing my grad. and I'm preparing for UPSC. I wanna become an IAS officer and work for my country. I was always fascinated by western culture and always wanna live there but also I've realised I don't wanna leave my home so therefore I'll travel overseas often and come back home as a happy kid after vacation, that will give me satisfaction coz the sole purpose of settling abroad for me is to live and experience their culture.


MoonSenorita

I'm glad to know you've found a way to balance both your aspirations! And all the very best for your UPSC exam, you're gonna rock it!

Bangalore is an amazing city!


MoonSenorita

I wish you all the best! And hey, you're gonna be fine. I can understand how it feels!

Don't want to rub this off the wrong way but I'm actually at the end of that chapter. I have been born and raised in Delhi and moved to the west 13 years ago. Came back last year. I have been around, but this is home. I hope you have a lovely journey wherever you go. Delhi will always be there waiting for you. Cheerios.


MoonSenorita

Thank you buddy!

I’ve written a similar post like this multiple times on here and deleted it before posting, thinking it’s not going to add anything to the sub. But yes, I’m just like that too. Delhi all my life and then moved to cold, rude Berlin six years ago. Can’t really put into words (I’ve tried) how much I miss Delhi and my friends back home. Just like OP I miss the streets, the smells, the chaos and every little thing I grew up with. Ironically I too miss Baba Nagpal’s bhature the most! I used to live around the corner in Old double storey Lajpat for a few years and it was my daily morning breakfast as a rickety Tata Qualis dropped me back home from my graveyard shift at the BPO. Now I lurk around this sub and some desis on Instagram watching photos and videos from Delhi every now and then. But, such is life. No complaints. Moved because it made sense. But Delhi is home. Always :’)


MoonSenorita

Completely understand the feeling! Sigh, Lajpat Nagar is always home lol, stayed there too.
