Delhi, the capital of India, has a rich history. The city is dotted with spellbinding mosques, forts, and monuments left over from the Mughal rulers that once occupied the city. The contrast between rambling Old Delhi and well planned New Delhi is immense, and it’s interesting to spend time exploring both. If you feel in need of some relaxation, just head to one of Delhi’s flourishing landscaped gardens.
Here’s a list of the top attractions and places to visit in Delhi. The great thing is that many of them are free! (And can easily be reached by Delhi’s Hop On Hop Off bus). Or, take one or more of these popular Delhi Tours.
Delhi’s most famous monument, the Red Fort, stands not only as a powerful reminder of the Mughal era India but also a symbol of India’s struggle for freedom. It was build by fifth Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, when he decided to shift his capital there from Agra in 1638. The fort’s turbulent history includes being captured by the Sikhs and the British. To take your imagination back to the ancient era, a one hour sound and light show of the fort’s history is held each evening.
Jama Masjid is another marvelous treasure of the Old City, and it’s one of the largest mosque in India. Its courtyard can hold an incredible 25,000 devotees. The mosque took 12 years to build, and was completed in 1656. A strenuous climb to the top of its southern tower will reward you with a stunning view (albeit obscured by metal security grills) across the rooftops of Delhi. Be sure to dress appropriately when visiting the mosque or you won’t be allowed in. This means covering your head, legs and shoulders. Attire is available there.
Location: Opposite Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi. Near the Red Fort.
Chandni Chowk, the main street of old Delhi, is a shocking contrast to the wide, orderly streets of New Delhi. Cars, cycle rickshaws, hand-pulled carts, pedestrians, and animals all compete for space. It’s chaotic, crumbling and congested, but completely captivating as well. As one of the oldest and busiest markets in India, its narrow winding lanes are full of inexpensive jewelry, fabrics, and electronics. For the more adventurous, Chandni Chowk is an excellent place to sample some of Delhi’s street food. The renowned Karim Hotel, a Delhi dining institution, is also located there.
Location: Old Delhi, near the Red Fort and Jama Masjid.

If you think Humayun’s Tomb looks a bit like the Taj Mahal in Agra, that’s because it was the inspiration for the Taj Mahal’s creation. The tomb was built in 1570, and houses the body of the second Mughal emperor, Humayun. It was the first of this type of Mughal architecture to be built in India, and the Mughal rulers followed it up with an extensive period of construction all over the country. The tomb is part of a greater complex that’s set among beautiful gardens.

Qutab Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world, is an incredible example of early Indo–Islamic architecture. It was built in 1193, but the reason remains a mystery.

The tower has five distinct stories, and is covered with intricate carvings and verses from the holy Quran. There are also a number of other historic monuments on the site.

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
My journey Begins
My very first blog. To be honest, I am excited and nervous. I mean, I always wanted to write a blog, just didn’t know that the opportunity would present itself. But here it is. I am calling this first blog post “Journey” ’cause I think this is the very beginning of something new.
Technology today has given us the freedom to type our views and thoughts and post them on the web. I think it is a very big responsibility because this is some sort of a power. And as the saying goes, “A man is known by the power he yields.” I really hope that I can make my readers happy.
All journeys begin with the first step. I took mine three years ago when I entered the film industry with Jimmy. People talk about that film even today, saying it wasn’t the perfect launch for me. When I look back, I have no regrets because the failure of Jimmy only made me open my eyes and showed me the world the way it is. I realised that I wasn’t good enough back then and somehow, I deserved all the thrashing I got. I think it was one of the best experiences of my life. They say, you should never look back in the past but I always do because it reminds me of my mistakes and that I should never do them again and also from where I am coming from.
Today, I am truly honoured to write this blog because someone out there really thinks that “my” voice will make a difference. I think “success” changes everything. Most importantly, the people around you. Trust me when I say this, I have seen the darkness. I have seen things and heard things people can’t even imagine. I remember, when I signed Haunted I was the happiest guy on the planet because I got the film on my own merit. I am forever indebted to Mr Vikram Bhatt because out of everyone, he is the only one who believed in a failure like me, after Jimmy. Today, I am a successful because of him and him alone.
I thought I had won the battle when I signed Haunted but I didn’t know that the journey had just begun for me. It was the first day of shooting in Ooty and I remember how nervous I was. I was unemployed for three years. Had no confidence at all! The entire pressure was on me as I was the lead of the film, India’s first 3-D Film! I was giving re-takes after re-takes. Vicky sir felt something was bothering me so he called me aside and had a word with me. I still remember what he said. He said, “Mimoh, I know you are nervous but you shouldn’t be because I believe in you. When I signed you for this film, everyone told me NOT to take you as you are a flop actor and you are not bankable but I told them all to take a hike because I believe in this boy and I know he will do justice to this film.” After hearing that I got this sudden urge, a feeling, a force in me to prove to the world, to Vicky Sir and most importantly to myself that yes, I am worth it! I am worth something and this is my fight! This will always be my fight and I will never stop fighting! 🙂
We all have our own battles to fight. This is mine. Hope after reading this, you have that urge too. The urge and the power and the force to fight back because we all have that in us. Sometimes you find it yourself, sometimes, someone else does it for you. 🙂
