If you miss the train I'm on/Then you'll know that I have gone/You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles...

From the airport, which I showed you last time, today I take you to the Old Delhi railway station. Delhi has several important stations and among these, Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi Railway Station, Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station are the most prominent ones.

I had recently gone to Old Delhi Railway Station to board a train to Jodhpur. The entrance, painted in yellow and red, is grand.
The platform is quite neat and tidy. And the train was on time. So I was a happy traveller :-)

Walled City

This photograph was taken at one end of the Walled City or Old Delhi. The Old Delhi area is surrounded by the walls of Red Fort. This here is an extension of the wall of Red Fort. Walking in this area gave me the feeling of being present in two very different eras at one time. I believe, like many other people who love the city, Delhi has magical powers of transporting a person from the present to past and even to the future. :-)

Waiting

I saw this old man waiting in the bylanes of Old Delhi for some generous soul to come and give him food. My guess is that he is a homeless and depends on the charities of others for survival. He was happy to be photographed.
