Today is 15th August... I love to travel on public holidays are the roads are free of traffic and markets are not crowded (if they are open at all)

We went to Red Fort... saw the fort in all its glory and then took a left turn into Chandni Chowk.
First stop was "jalebis" and then another to buy engraved book with small glass pieces on it.
Second stop was Gurdwara Sis Ganj - immaculately clean place considering its in the heart of some of the oldest parts of Delhi.
Last stop was "Paranthe wali gali" had paranthas there in a shop that was established in 1875 - CM Sheila Dixit and Filmmaker/stars Imtiaz Ali/Ranbir Kapoor were the other patrons earlier and we ate under their watchful eyes of the photograph.

The "paranthas" tasted more like pooris. They dont use onion or garlic. Saw quite a few foreigners braving the flys and the dirt and still enjoying the show. Must watch/eat for anyone who visits Delhi. Try out the papad parantha or rabri parantha if you are adventurous.
