"In New Delhi, you’ll see the overt remnants of the former colonial power. Wide streets, big squares, spacious parks and ornamental and bombastic governmental buildings. This is also the part of Delhi where you can visit Gandhi’s memorial. Old Delhi is quite the opposite. It makes you think you’ve ended up in a beehive. Small narrow alleys, little shops and a bustling daily life. This is also the area where you’ll find, amidst all the hectic daily practices, serenity and quietness when you enter the Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque) and have a look over Delhi’s outskirts and visit the Red Fort. Besides that, there are several good museums and interesting sights dispersed over the rest of Delhi and its vicinity, such as the National Museum and Humayun’s Tomb." --- World66 travel guide

1. India is one of the oldest civilisations in this world!
2. Delhi is more than 2500 years old and was the seat of the Mughal Dynasty.
3. Indian culture is fascinating! (Slumdog Millionaire doesnt show you the entire deal, though you'd definitely need an open mind to enjoy India.)
4. Assault of the senses - Intense colours, new smells (both good & bad I'm sure!), crazy sounds of urban human traffic.
5. Extreme constrasts - riches & poverty/modernity & backwardness.
6. Authentic Indian food! You can stuff your face with hotter than the sun curries!
7. Will definitely give you a culture shock. (Just think Little India [Serangoon/Race course road] X 2923872301 in intensity.)
8. It will be surely be warmer than England. :D
9. Athens, Istanbul & Marrakesh are too far away!
10. We dont need to take 12hour flights!
11. You & I both should still be able to afford to fly to Delhi!
12. Rupees are relatively cheap! Shopping!!!
    
13. There are many historical monuments to visit! (Please refer below.)
14. This day trip looks pretty amazing! The District Park, Hauz Khas is just about two Km from the AIIMS / Safdarjung flyover.
    
15. Festivals!!! Phulwalon - Ki - Sair or the Flower sellers Procession & Dussehra, commemorates the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king, Ravana. It's a month-long Ram Lila dance festival depicting scenes from the epic Ramayana, while gigantic effigies of Ravana are set on fire on the Dussehara evening itself.
16. Check out the Indian nightlife. Hindi music, here I come!
17. Practise your bhangra moves!
18. Hunt down sultry Bollywood celebrities!
19. I get to see you in October.
20. If still in doubt, number 19 is should be the most convincing reason of all.
