My City

I live in Delhi. It is my home town. Delhi is the capital of India. It is a beautiful city. It stands on the bank of river Yamuna. Delhi was born during the Mahabharata time, about 1000 BC. Since then it took seven births. During this period, it faced Aryans, Mughals and Britishers.

Delhi is divided into two parts — Old Delhi and New Delhi. New Delhi is very beautiful. It was constructed by Lutyens. The old Delhi was constructed during the Mughal period. Old Delhi is very crowded. In New Delhi, there are beautiful parks and gardens. Nehru Park, Talkatora Garden, Lodhi Garden and Buddha Park are worth seeing gardens.

Old Delhi has very majestic buildings of great historical importance too.

Delhi is a great centre of trade, industries and education. Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place and Lajpat Nagar are beautiful and famous shopping markets. Delhi is the heart of India. Delhi is a historical city. The old buildings remind us about its glorious past. The people come to Delhi to see the historical places like Qutab Minar, Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Parliament House, National Museum, Gurudwara Sis Ganj, India Gate and Zoo. I like it very much.

Today Delhi has a rapid transport system in the country with its Metro-trains and government has decided to make it a world class city by 2010.
