But I’ll be honest, for years I carried the classic Mumbai bias against Delhi. You know the one — rash people, chaotic roads, dusty, aggressive, just overall a place I had zero interest in visiting. I’m not proud of it but that was genuinely my image of this city,” the OP wrote.He said that his visit to Delhi only happened because a friend had recently moved to Gurgaon. “Bhai. I was not prepared for what I walked into,” he wrote.Describing the arrival, the Redditor said that the experience immediately challenged their expectations – starting with the weather. “I land in Delhi and it’s just… pleasant? I’m standing outside and actually comfortable? Already things were not going according to plan,” he said.(Also Read:
