   Hi. Just wanted to draw your attention to a post almost exactly one year ago: CP goes grassy – http://www.thedelhiwalla.com/2010/07/11/dateline-connaught-place-cp-goes-grassy/

   The grass went bare in a couple of weeks, just as we expected. But now, NDMC is actually tearing out the peat and putting in concrete. The CWG waste continues!

   you have done well to cover chittoprosad’s exhibition at the delhi art gallery.
   but the fact that his book of sketches is being sold for Rs. 600 (200 times the printed price) should have been highlighted.
   it is plain ironical and against the very values the man himself stood for.
   When my friend pointed out the above to the lady behind the counter she remarked that chittoprosad had failed to market himself.
   really?! and is this how they are marketing him by disrespecting what he stood for?!
   his art was for the masses and should not be reduced to a coffee-table elite-pleasing commodity, to say the least!

   Don’t know how I stumbled upon your site and was engrossed in the Mission Delhi portfolios here. Accept my heartfelt congratulations on bringing out this other facet of Delhi.

   Hope to see more. Let me know if there is a way to connect and be a part of your effort.

   Best wishes.

   I enjoy reading your articles, most of them anyway! I would like to especially mention your recent piece on an old lady of Old Delh – I have not read anything better than that in journalism, or even in more serious writing. It was so moving! You have a talent and consciousness of your own. I also love your photography, for example, the few but wonderful shots of women of Delhi. Cheers!

    Hello Mayank
    Loved your post on the Bougainvillea….a bloom that I instantly connect with memories of my childhood. Thanks.
    While going through your post, I remembered a large space of scrubland that lies between the edge of Delhi and Gurgaon that has a stupendous growth of wild bougainvillae in a myriad of colours. ( There is a narrow “pukka” road that runs through it) It has been a few years since I used that route and hopefully, it has not be developed. ( I said HOPEFULLY !) Maybe you could take a look .

      Mayank: the petals of boungainvillea flowers are not big, colorful structures most easily seen. Those structures are modified leaves and are called bracts. Three bracts enclose one, two, or three flowers, usually white or yellow in color.

    Hi Mayank,

    I read your blog while in Delhi and it helped me explore the city better. Whenever my non Indian friends travel to India I recommend your blog to know the hidden gems of the city.

    Keep up the good work!!

    Is there any chance I can borrow half a day of yours to visit Old Delhi in January 2012?

    Wow, its a small world. The certain Abdul Khaliq you mention in this article, http://www.thedelhiwalla.com/2011/12/08/city-food-habshi-halwa-ballimaran/ was my grandfather. His full name was Sheikh Abdul Khaliq. We have a thriving business in Karachi, Pakistan to this date! Not sure how I can place this comment on that article, doesn’t show any place to post a comment.

    Hi from K.L.
    I enjoy reading your posts. I’m coming to Delhi for the first time on Saturday. Looking forward to the sceneries so beautifully captured by you here. I have 1 question, is the book ‘Devdas’ in English easily available in Delhi, and where can I get hold of one? I’ve watched the film (with SRK in it) and thought it must be more interesting reading it.

    Thanks

    Is there any way to get a dozen copies of your Portraits book? Would like to pick them up at the end of the month when I am traveling through Delhi from Jodhpur to the US. A friend would
    like them to give
    to participants at her writing workshop planned for Jodhpur next year.
    Love your books!
    Thanks, Micky
