Experience in New Delhi, India by Nitika

What is it like to live in New Delhi? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I mean if you ignore people who stare at you or act as a******s all the time.. or the news about Delhi being the Rape city because we have pathetic people of the suburbs and other states coming into Delhi with their pathetic thoughts and spoiling the whole positivity of a rationalize mind... It's pretty much an ok place to be in.. frankly.. it's a fun city with a lot of educated people with a very good rational mind and judgement.... However, I will say that it's not safe anymore for women to be out in the dark alone or even within a group...
