‘The Delhi Walla is Delhi’s most idiosyncratic and eccentric website, but reflects a real love of this great but under-loved and underrated city’ – William Dalrymple Completing the colourful series of guidebooks on Delhi, this is a book on the people who make the city what it is. From the touching stories of jobless people, beggars, transgenders and the aged, to the stories of fame and success of Delhi’s celebrities and achievers, it gives you a glimpse into the lives and minds of people who live in the capital. Among those featured are Arundhati Roy, S.H. Raza, Mushirul Hasan, a dog named Editor, a smack addict and a handicapped man with no limbs who supports his parents.
