Dont be mistaken city is full of life with skyscrapers, multiplexes, unbelivable number of food joints serving all kinds of food you never could have imagined. I and my husband have moved to number of places but believe me I love this city for its varied culture, excellent food, unbelivable shopping (traditional to modern stuff), number of multiplexes and not to miss the drive in theatre, Akshardham, festive celebrations within socities, the navratra colours, the Uttrayan kite flying and what more the list is never ending...
