		<title>Missing the Chandni Chowk ricks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Each morning my news-obsessed papa says this country is going to dogs. I say this city is going to dogs. It&#8217;s a hot November afternoon and I&#8217;m in Chandni Chowk. Gurdwara Seesganj Sahib is in front of me; Jain Mandir is close by, and Jama Masjid not far. So holy a place and yet no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hauz Khas village, South Delhi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[6.23am: Waking up in Hauz Khas Village, my new address. Looking out the window into the 13th century ruins. Ferozeshah’s tomb, the madrasa, the lake. Beyond - Deer Park. The trees laced with the morning mist. The rest of Delhi invisible.
6.45am: Sitting with EM Forster’s A Room With A View.
7.47am: The back terrace lit up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Have you met this Delhiwalla who love the Pakistanis?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The celebrated Delhi-based author Khushwant Singh loves Pakistan, a nation often looked at with suspicion, and sometimes even with hatred, by a majority of Indians.
One winter evening in 2009 at a rare public appearance, the 94-year-old novelist, facing a select audience that included the Indian prime minister’s wife, said, “I wish more Indians realise that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Listening Nepali melodies in the heart of the smoggy, smoky, choking Delhi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The smoggy ITO crossing can hardly be mistaken for the breezy Mall Road of Mussoorie. But curiously, it is here that the natives of Kumaon and Garhwal presently residing in Delhi head for their music fix. All thanks to four rickety stalls specializing in Garhwali and Kumaoni music videos.
These stalls are a treasure-trove for Uttaranchali [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking for paya nihari in the cold wintry Old Delhi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shahjahanabad was a city of emperors and courtesans, kaftans and the Kohinoor, beef and ghee. This morning I am searching for its past splendor. The ancient alleys of Matia Mahal bazaar, under the watchful eyes of Jama Masjid, are redolent of morning meals. Kesar-flavored milk. Sewai. Jalebis. Soon a rich, meaty aroma tempts me. Paya-nihari.

		<title>Life of a photo studio in the time of digicams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A 70-year-old shop is expected to wallow in its past. Yesterday must always be richer than today and tomorrow should be forever uncertain. If it&#8217;s a photo studio, the tragedy has to be weepier. After all, who needs to go to photo studios now?
Everyone with a digicam is a wannabe photographer (like The Delhi Walla). [...]]]></description>

		<title>The stories of CP&#8217;s Central News Agency</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Her talk is hardly different than that of most grandmothers – all about ‘our days, your days’. “Call me narrow-minded, but today’s newspapers carry such vulgar ads,” says Santosh Puri, the director of Central News Agency, one of Delhi’s biggest and oldest companies that distribute Indian as well as foreign newspapers in the Capital. Her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet Editor, India&#8217;s most written about dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One October evening in 2009, The Delhi Walla finally met Editor, a spoilt south Delhi brat with a weakness for Parmesan cheese and chocolate chip cookies. A resident of Nizamuddin East, a pricey neighbourhood dotted with gardens and ruins, Editor owns “a nice collar, a nice leash and a serviceable winter coat.”
He also owns two [...]]]></description>

		<title>My last day in Madrid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[9pm. Begona metro station. Walking down the stairs. Ticket counter. Waving at the lady behind the glass. We are friends. One euro for Chueca, Madrid&#8217;s Paharganj. Now running down the escalators. Turning right. A long corridor. Left. Escalators again. Platform. Four minutes for the next train. Sitting down on the floor. Reading Mansfield Park (bought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Delhiwalla&#8217;s Madrid Diary - Second Day in Europe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unlike in the Delhi Metro, doors in the Madrid&#8217;s do not open automatically. You have to press the green button when the train stops at the station. Also, unlike us Delhiwallas, Madridis do not storm in like jungle beasts.
That said the Madrid Metro does not have many rules. No special seats for women. No bar [...]]]></description>
