It was also the longest in writing but, again, I enjoyed every bit of that. It is not easy to put the essence of a city like Delhi in one post; there were many false starts and much virtual paper made it to the virtual trash. I hope I managed to give you a little peek into the heart of Dilli. [...] [...] A Delhi Summer - on the Streets is amongst my absolutely favourite posts so far.

I am really out of date! I love your pictures, brings back memories of Delhi waaaay back when!!! It is still all good though, and I try to visit every year at least for a couple of weeks, summer no problem since I now live in Texas! My kids think I am nuts but they come along anyway, poor things never complain even during power cuts! They love to browse the Janpath stalls! I bribe them with all the junk we can carry back! <em>Hey, Pepper Mama, welcome to AMTP! It's always nice to revisit! If you want mangoes, it's gotta be summer time!

Hey, Pepper Mama, welcome to AMTP!

It’s always nice to revisit! If you want mangoes, it’s gotta be summer time! And it’s great that you bring the kids too - they must get to know their roots.

Your blog brought back many happy memories of the gulmohar and the amaltas, though I knew it as Laburnum in those days. I went for a visit in 2002, and didn't recognize most of the city, except for India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan and a few other landmarks. Even my old school (CJM) was different, the girls wear salwar kameezes now, as opposed to the skirts and blouses in white with red buttons of my time. I look forward to more descriptions of Dilli and more interesting recipes. <em>Not that long before - just a year! I am glad I could bring back some happy memories. Delhi is changing too fast - all the flyovers and the above-ground Metro are making it ugly...It will live on in nostalgia though... Thanks for the visit, Lalitha.</em> Hi Anita,

Delhi is changing too fast - all the flyovers and the above-ground Metro are making it ugly…It will live on in nostalgia though…
Thanks for the visit, Lalitha.

I had a chance to visit Delhi enroute to Jaipur during my last visit for 2 days, I loved the city, food and especially shopping :). 2 days were way too less of time. Your post does take me back to those 2 days. I hope I get another chance to explore the city again soon. Added you to my blogroll !!! <em>Hi Sreelu. I am happy that I could bring back Delhi memories for you! Two days is too little for Delhi...there will be other times, surely.</em> Wow Anitha,

Hi Sreelu. I am happy that I could bring back Delhi memories for you! Two days is too little for Delhi…there will be other times, surely.

This particular matar-kulcha was my favorite!!! The kulcha wala would sit under this huge peepal tree in the neighborhood market, and my nani would insist we take clean plates from home to eat them on. haha like that made a difference. So how would one make the light fluffy kulchas at home.... we dont get kulchas at the indian store (at least not in the bay area). Nice post. <em>Ah, there you are, at last! :) (or maybe not - that e mail is different - in which case, welcome!) The kulcha, the kind eaten with the matar, is a hard one as far as cooking at home is concerned. I too, am looking for a recipe. Recipes for the Punjabi kulcha are there but not this kind.</em> Mmmmm…. you bring back memories of grwoing up in Delhi. This particular matar-kulcha was my favorite!!!
