Detailed Description

Delhi has a long history that has witnessed several dynasties come and go. Great kings longing to leave an impression on the city have given us a veritable treasure trove of monuments. Lal Qila and Qutub Minar are famous across the world. Delhi has a rich and old heritage to show and attract tourists from all over the world and across India too. Because I belong to Delhi and have lived there for almost 22 years, I have experienced and seen Delhi in a very different way than others. I have been to places that are famous as well as places that are not so popular but are part of our rich culture and heritage.

These are the places that somehow get hidden in the spark and reputation of famous monuments, markets, etc. As I have come out of Delhi and made friends from other states of India and abroad, I am still experiencing Delhi in a very different way when I start comparing it with the other states and wonder how different the two states of India can be. Talking to people from other states also gives a different perspective on Delhi, people have their own unique perception of places and people.

So I took on this project where I wanted to give a little glimpse of the experience they might have in terms of the crowd, culture, attire of people, and food through a docudrama. I wanted my first experience handling this medium to demonstrate the good and bad things about Delhi truthfully. a sort of docudrama, which is my own first-hand experience.
