Old- and New Dehli.

Agra, 23-05-1994. There is this invisible line between Old- and New dehli. In New Dehli, for example, the streets are broad with better organised traffic - no cycle rickshaws, only three wheelers and Ambassedor taxies - more trees and vegetation, big houses with gardens and all the ambassies - no surprise there - are locatedcin New Dehli. In Old Dehli traffic is hectic, almost always jammed, streetsellers, beggars and richshaw wallahs fighting and screaming for a place and hassling you at every street corner. Houses are old and look ready to collapse or catch fire and burn down at any given moment. That rare tree is always used as a public toilet by men as well as women, not much in the way of open spaces and when you see an open space it is used by the homeless. Today i decided to leave all that weird shit behind for a while and spend some time in agra and see the Taj Mahal one more time. Agra`s rickshaw three- wheeler wallahs are terribly competetive and have a strong hotel-business-comission thing going, going by foot with a heavy backpack is totally unacceptable to them.
