NEW DELHI,INDIA

The debate continues for ages, which is the better city to live in? Is it the political capital or the commercial capital of India? Is it Delhi or Mumbai? Both the cities provide refuge to millions of job seekers who come from different parts of India. Two metros have two different lifestyles, two different cultures. One is cosmopolitan, one is traditional. However, it's upto the individual perception that speaks for the city one is dwelling in.

Come to Delhi, the capital city of India, you will be greeted by 50 plus impressive flyovers. If it still doesn't astound you, get a round of Old Delhi, the true colour of Delhi, with monuments and lanes devoted to special cuisine, will definitely enchant you, while Mumbai's infrastructure is terrible. Stay one year or so, you will truly become a Delhiite known for its Dilliwala style – not paying bus fare, lawlessness, foul mouth…the list is long, what you don't find in Mumbai.

Mumbai -- the first impression it gives: the names of the places – that don't grimace your face, thanks to Bollywood movies and entertainment industry that we have been watching while growing up. You see people religiously maintaining a queue in bus stands which can't be seen in Delhi. Moreover, you feel that there is no "entropy" in day-to-day life activities. Life goes on lying on the windy beaches. Not to forget – a ride in interlink train comes as the testing time for you, to test your endurance and patience.

There are several other comparisons. While Delhi is too cold and too hot, Mumbai is neither cold, nor too hot. While Delhi is totally unsafe for women, Mumbai is believed to be a safe abode of the weaker sex if we neglect few infamous incidents. There are endless topics to be compared such as the terrible traffic of Mumbai, unsafe roads of Delhi or Continuous power supply of Mumbai , power and water crisis of Delhi. Debate will be on, on and on.

But at the end, both the cities are marvelous and lively in their own respect. Both the cities have their own plus and minus. Choosing the city – Delhi or Mumbai lies on what is your perspective towards life, it truly defines you.
