Code, Red Yellow kyo ho rahe ho ^ ^ . I dont think any indian in india knows about GS. Pardesi desiyon ke paas bhaut time hota hai. If you want to have meeting in Tx, Florida or Louisiana then let me know.
Codey go to Qutub Minar...within the complex there is an Iron pillar from the time of Akhoka, 3 BC or something. To this day scientists have not been able to figure out why it hasn't rusted...there are buddhist sholkas written all around the ruins circling the Minar. You will also gain some perspective in looking at the bricks and stones of the Minar itself..some of them have sankrit inscriptions. :)
My favorite place in Delhi is HUmayun's tomb..it was recently refurbished under the auspices of world heritage sites and it is a great hidden gem in Nizzamuddin.
Also go to Bahai temple and obviously no trip to Delhi is complete without a trip to the national museum and crafts musem.
Also, if you get time, go check out the nightlife..which is booming. Along with a trip to satellite cities like Gurgaon and NOIDA where the bulk of IT and ITES companies have set up shops and made a subculture of young, enterprising INdia.
jab dillli jaa rahe ho to agre bhi ghoom aao!!
Dilli-Agra combination has considerable Moghul architecture and I tell you its quite worth a visit..
some places to visit in Delhi are Qutab Minar , Bahai Temple , Humayun's tomb, Red Fort( dont know whether it is open) , Appu Ghar ( if you dig Disney time theme parks), Jama Masjid
If you are going to India then do visit Delhi and once you are there , its not a problem to go to Agra which is a 2-3 hrs drive from there. Hum bhi gaee thay last year via bus from Lahore. Now, if you could take that, it would be awesome, in that way you'd be able see a bit of Jalandhar too as the bus stops at intervals in that region. Now, the best and the most interesting thing that i noticed was this stark difference across the border. In the bharti punjab its a real treat to see women clad in duppata riding bikes or Delhi where women are found wearing burkha, jeans, skirts, kurta pajama...you name it, without getting bothered abt the men folk there.
Delhi main bhi there are quite a few places to see, so no sweat even if you can't make it to Agra. I missed a chance to go to Agra 'cuz I started missing my mom there for some reason but I don't regret cutting short my trip. Enjoy!
Hum hain na yahaN aap ka su suwagatam yaani istiqbaal karnay k liyay

but i m in old delhi - the walled city it is called

aur hai na ajeeb baat aik iklota dilli wala guppy hooN main
jo dilli main hi maujood hai.
so you are most welcome to delhi - by my guest
ghalib ka ghar hai gali qasim jaan main Hamdard dawakhany k samnay
aur unn ka mazaar hai Hzt. nizamuddin k ilaqay main
tashreef laa-iyay sab ki ser karwadi jayegi
aur dilli main kaun kaun si jagah ghoomnay ki hai to iss silsilay main arz hai k yahaN aik jagah hai qasab pura woh zaroor dekhiyay jee khush ho jayega
yeh ilaqa shahjahani eid gah say mulhiq hai – aur yaqeenan apni misaal aap hai
