Streets of Delhi


I spent two days on the front and back end of my trip in Delhi.  Delhi, like all major cities, has concentrations of wealth and poverty; calm orderly streets and chaotic clusters of humanity are minutes apart.  I chose to stay in the neighborhood of Paharganj because its cheap and centrally located between the British planned capital city of New Delhi and the teaming, steaming streets of Old Delhi.
