Fast speed Delhi life
You have little time to see people. You have little time to talk with them. And you have no time to think even about yourself. Because all the while you have to move, move and move. You are at work, day and night, 24/7. After all, you are in the national capital – Delhi.
This is the ‘moving-sketch’ of a metropolitan city. Lifestyle in the capital of India largely differs from the lifestyle in the capital of knowledge. The reason is speed. The pace of life is quite higher in Delhi than that in Varanasi. While crossing a road in Varanasi, you can expect from a moving vehicle to give you some time and space.
Fast speed of Delhi life
In Delhi, you will be rather disappointed with such your expectations of making somebody compromise with the speed. Because speed is the rule. Apart from the cacophony and inconvenience of traffic on roads, metro train is much preferable option for people. Well, it saves your time, money and efforts.
From one end to another of Delhi, metro train conveys you in a short time with a great speed. Because speed is the rule. In Varanasi, where I had lived for all the past years since birth, people get time to spend with each other more frequently. Tea-stalls, pan-shops and many other corners of an area provide them nice spaces to meet, to share and to enjoy.
Speed is rule
But people in Delhi are too busy to get some time to pass without a concrete reason because they have to do a lot in less time. They have to run…run and run, acquiring higher and higher momentum with the passing of every second, minute and hour.
Staying in Delhi for the first time, I am learning and trying to follow the rules of the speed. Because speed is the rule.
