'Delhi is Boring': Woman's Take on Nothing to Do in the City Has Internet Replying 'Open Your Eyes'

There’s no doubt that Delhi is a city where history whispers through every street, inviting travellers with its majestic architectural marvels. From the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and Chandni Chowk to Rajghat, the Lotus Temple, Humayun’s Tomb, and the Lodhi Art District, every path in Delhi unveils a chapter of its rich and diverse past, captivating all who visit. The serene gardens of the Qutub Minar complex, the tranquil lakes of the Garden of Five Senses, and the lush greenery of Nehru Park add to the city’s scenic charm. However, a woman recently stirred up a debate on social media by declaring, “Delhi is boring.”

It all started when the woman, known as @yukteaX on ‘X’, wrote, “Delhi is so boring. (Most Indian cities maybe?). There’s no actual water bodies, no trails, no hikes, no nice safe walks, no scenic places to stroll along. Eating is all you can do. That is literally the only activity in Delhi. If you disagree, change my mind.”

Her post quickly went viral, sparking disagreement from many locals.

One user replied, “Kartavya path. Ashoka Road, shanti path great places to stroll. There are hikes around beautiful DDA Park in Lado Sarai. Hauz khas – water body, some bird sanctuaries next to river in east Delhi. Lodhi garden, sundar nursery. Delhi has a lot, you seem focused on eating.”

Another user shared, “This is from delhi. U can clearly see a water body, trail, nice safe walk as well as scenic. Plz thoda search karne ki kasht kia karo delhi has everything u r looking for.”

A third user countered, “No actual water bodies: Yamuna River, no trails or hikes: Lodhi Garden & Hauz Khas, no scenic places: India Gate. Delhi has a lot of issues, but none of those mentioned by you. If you’re new to Delhi, start walking around.”

The debate continued, with a fourth person saying, “Come on, you can’t be serious! Delhi has endless places for such activities, but obv sab ghar baithe toh pata nahi chalega. Examples- Ridge area near north campus, Delhi haat, sunder nursery, lodhi garden, hauz khas fort, Nehru park etc. Be aware of your own city please.”

And so, the discussion kept going, as people passionately defended the vibrant and diverse experiences Delhi has to offer.
