India a land of snake charmers and
magicians and the capital of this land of mysteries is Delhi. Delhi is
just not a city but it is a book-- a book which narrates the history of
India. The city was built and destroyed seven times and has been witness
to the various events which has brought India through the history books.
Seven times this city went through the pain of being built and rebuilt.
