One day life would make perfect sense
and everything would be sorted. Until then enjoy the winter sun and tea…
A lot of times it is about the happy
ending, but lately my mind has been contradicting this rule of heart. Sometimes
it’s not about the happy ending; rather it is about the story.
The story of some of my favorite
happy places in Delhi follows.

Spend some time at Majnu ka Tila and
your heart would be a happier than ever. Every Dilliwala’s replacement of
McLeodganj, the amazing Majnu ka Tila redefines happiness for me.

Thank me later for awesome food (like
really awesome) and an amazing experience.
Rigo is my favorite restaurant. Then there
is Coffee House for the delicious and heartwarming peach tea and marble cake.
 |
| A cup of tea makes everything better! |
Not to forget the epic cool Ama Café –
such pretty interiors and peaceful aura, the only thing missing are the mighty
mountains and the fragrant breeze.

| Coffee mornings |
Street shopping is an elevating
experience. So the next time your heart craves Tibetan vibes and your brain
tells you that going to Dharamshala is not possible, take your heart, brain and
soul to Majnu ka Tila and fill them with bliss.
Swanky name, quintessential chic, and
ever crowded, that’s Cha Bar.
Bookstores always have a rosy joyous
vibe and Cha Bar leads by example.

Although it is a book café, but the
hustle bustle would barely let you read in peace. Plugging in the earphones might help!

| Table full of happy! |
A great place for casual meeting with friends, bookstore dates, spending rainy evenings with dear Samosa!

The unmatched swag of Delhi – 6. Happiness
has different facets in Old Delhi.
Shaadi shopping, yummy food hogging, touristy
sightseeing and all other bling, if all of this doesn’t make you happy, then
God alone knows what will.

| Jama Masjid and its glory! |
 |
| Woh Meena Bazaar ki raunak aur Lal Qila ki shaan! |
Happiness of varied kinds –
- Oh so popular Instagram Photo Walks
in the old bazaars
- Shopaholic exuberance
- Bibliophile tendencies – Sunday Book
Market at Daryaganj
- DSLR Flaunting – You got a new
camera, I am sure Chandni Chowk candid photography is on your list
- Foodie happiness – Karims and mutton
qorma, paranthe wali gali and cannot type more because of high level of
midnight cravings…

| Crappy picture, amazing food! |
From the rustic lanes of old Delhi to
the verve and flamboyant Khan Market!
Whether you are the LV and Zara type,
or the FabIndia and kohlapuri type, Khan Market never disappoints. Fall prey to
its killer style and you’ll not regret.
The happy and overpriced shopping would
make you feel rich and be beneficial in overcoming the ‘I am so worthless’ feel.
Of course there is the pedestal of
happy places – The Big Chill Café!

Retail Therapy at Khan Market!
And just when you thought that Khan
Market is like that brainless pouty classmate of yours, it surprises you with
some extra dose of unmatched class.

Bahrisons bookstore and its legacy, dainty
Café Turtle – Full Circle bookstore, and so Bombayish Sodabotteopenerwala.
You have to be there to find out what
happy looks like.
P.S – Stop and say hi if you find me
meandering at my ultimate happy place…
I always save the best for the last.
 |
| Shopping, sunshine and happiness at Dilli Haat :) |
You shop for pretty suits/sarees, get
floored by the stunning jewelry, soak up some winter sun, sip kulhad wali chai,
gorge upon irresistible pyaaz ki kachori, shop some more, taste free churan
from the stalls, and finally reach momo heaven! All this and a lot more awaits
you at Dilli Haat.
 |
| Chicken momos and all the happiness! |
Coping with heartbreak wrath, bestie
catching up, gossiping with mom, happy sun kissed dates, or just refueling the ultimate
ethnic feel – Dilli Haat is the place to be.
