Hi Raksha from Fiji
I stayed At Delhi for 2 weeks with my parents
We went on pilgrimage for 6 weeks and found Delhi to be a lovely city
In fact I used to walk at night, alone
People were so respectful and kind. Of course we stayed at the beautiful ISKCON temple at Delhi and fell in love with beautiful city and people
It's sad to note such things such as gang rape but they happen everywhere
We just have to be smart
Of course when I went out at night I always took my chanting beads and have neck beads as well.
I always had my evening walk and except for the occasional beggars or rubbish I had no major issue
This was 2009
In 2007, I visited Delhi for only 2 days with an elderly aunty
Guess what, we had so much fun that I reached the Delhi airport on the wrong date
Yes we missed the flight!
Due to time zones I reached on Fiji time which was the next day
Anyway the people who cared for us and made it possible for us to go back home were all strangers, but they were so kind
In fact we expected so much hardship and perhaps as in the movies abuse but by Lord Krishna's grace left in 2 days with more fun in Delhi
Lovely place with wonderful people
