Stranger- 2 -Delhi


I have been here for 6 years...this city of Delhi where many claim there's an old world charm.....and a warmth within....i find it difficult to take in....i have'nt found many an individual born ,brought up here holding a liking for their own "Dilli". Everyone says you grow to like a place, "bon homie" grows on you for the place...and i hoped it will grow on me....forget the love at least the liking...but to no avail....is it becoz my Delhi days have a lot of my personal pain as well?...does your liking for a city have anything to do with your personal life there....does it have a way of leaving impressions on you....to an extend possibly...but i refuse to accept the concept completely...'coz delhi seems to lack a basic warmth fo a human being....every city i feel should offer a personal space of comfort for a human being, one that can have a universal appeal and i strongly feel for there is nothing that Delhi offers that way....every one is a stranger here... i feel away...in a windy patch...not without a steady support...strange ...how much is this strangeness of Delhi capable of doing...
