That city, the New Delhi
built to the South of the old capital city
new brew,
but rich in history, heritage and art
the Lotus temple, Mogul palace or the Fort
When the whole country sleeps like a baby
Delhiites wake up to the midnight street stalls
to the street vendors that sell their best Indian cuisine
and also escape the chaos of the day
pollution, traffic, population – so untamed
Cheap, seedy local bars around the corner
or the classy, expensive venues for the upper class crowd
vast circles of malls with expensive branded stores
and countless beggars on the sidewalk surrounding the mall
The widening gap between the haves and have-nots
