There is only so much pollution and traffic that one can handle. Being said that it is commendable that you showed Delhi in a balanced fashion. And the part about Indians being majorly vegetarians is not necessarily true. The diet in the NCR region is primarily vegetarian, but go to Eastern or Southern India, you will find vegetarians in lesser numbers.

I went to Portugal and he went to New Delhi, to spend some time with family. I later met him in India and lived with his family in New Delhi for a few months. Spending a solid time in a given place is never the same as traveling around for a while. India still is, to date, the country that has impacted me the most – I can assure you no one leaves this place indifferent. Love it, hate it, do whatever you want – but the things one gets to see and experience in India stay with you forever.
