Delhi

It's been about a week since I got back from Delhi and again, sorry for the delay. Delhi is a beautiful city that blends both new and old India into one delicious experience. Being India's capital, it has the feel of an important political and cultural center, like Washington DC but much older. Many of the old buildings in and around Delhi are relics from former rulers (mostly British; some ancient Mogul sites). However, Delhi leaves no doubt about India's complete independence and there are the monuments, Gov't buildings and national museums to prove it. The city is dripping with culture, provided by its rich history and at the same time Delhi is a perfect example of a change going on throughout India. Just outside of the city is one of the many, and possibly the largest, silicon valleys of India. In just 6 years a huge industrial center has popped up to accommodate for new IT businesses both from within India and abroad. This fast growing suburb of Delhi shows just how accommodating and adaptable the Indian IT sector is. As the world has growing needs for technology services, India is working hard to immediately fill them. This is possibly there greatest attribute for succeeding in a globalized world.
