Delhi Noir

Travel Guide

Delhi is a city of contrasts – from the poverty of the slums to the richness of other areas, this is a city of two sides and many grey areas in between. The stories depict a city you may not wish to visit however such as the one where

Religious India

There are religious riots, sex in parks, vigilante rickshaw drivers and violence all around. This is a violent city, a dark and foreboding city and the faint hearted should not even open the front cover. It is however the world’s largest democracy so there is a fair interest in delving below the bowels of the city and examining the sludge you find there.

The city streets

The city streets are chaotic and loud, but contrast this with the beautiful building s and the amazing street food. How can such beauty look down  upon such squalor?

Corrupt cops

There is corruption in this city – from the police to the corporations. A look into how and why this is. Luckily in the Hissing Cobra story, one policeman picks on the wrong woman to blackmail.

The slums

Rich people throw away things at such a rate that for us, living in the dump, we only have to wait long enough before whatever we want comes sailing out of the sky – for free! Cars, food, books, furniture, machinery, medicine, bottles toys – you wouldn’t believe how much gets thrown away.
