Sunday, January 17, 2010



Serene evenings of November, heavy rush in coffee or tea shops, alluring smell of roasted peanuts, corns and sweet potatoes marks the onset of a completely different season in the capital city of India. The season of dense fog mornings and shivering nights. Yes, its the winters in Delhi.

Alike other seasons, winter in Delhi is also very unique. Its the only season in the capital when large number of flights and trains get rescheduled. But, still Delhi'ites love the season a lot.

Despite the cold breeze and long traffic jams, people of this lovely city loves to hangout with friends and families. Even large number of foreign tourists likes to explore Delhi during winters as it enables them to get rid of the scorching sun rays of summer season. During winter evenings, India Gate,one of the perfect exemplar of British rule in India became the melting pot of people of various communities.

 Located in Lutyen's Delhi, India Gate chock-a-blocks with fun loving visitors. Every year on the occasion of New year i.e on 1st January, people from various corners of the city comes here to enjoy the cold weather while sipping a cup of hot tea. Some people even engage themselves in photograph clicking near India Gate and Amar Jyoti Jawan.
Another ideal way to laze out in a winter season is by involving oneself in boating. A fabulous boat ride on the shimmering waters of lake behind Purana Quilla will offer you to grasp the bright sun rays, beholding the beauty of Purana Quilla. Even you can hire a tonga and roam around the historical monuments of the city.

Winters also make it a nice time to visit the Mughal garden and Zoological Park in the city. Every year from 14th February to 28th February, Mughal Garden in Rashtrapati Bhawan remained open for the flower lovers. Its that time of the year when numerous colorful rose species, along with other exotic flowers blooms in the garden.

Some other common sights of Delhi's winter includes evening get-togethers, glamorous weddings, long queue in front of Omellete wallas, crowded shops of Sarojini or Lajput Nagar. So, don't restrict yourself under heavy blankets, come out and enjoy the chilling waves of Delhi's winter.
