Hometown - Delhi

My hometown is a tiny village in Malaysia. It is about 40 kilometers away from any major city. Most people probably wouldn’t be able to find it on a map.

Q2. What do you like about it?
I like how the people in my hometown are so friendly, and the way that everyone knows everyone. It’s a really close-knit community, which is hard to find in big cities.

Q3. What do you not like about it?
I suppose my least favorite thing about it is that there aren’t too many fun things to do or see. It’s not the most exciting place, so sometimes I feel a little bored.

Q4. How important is your hometown to you?
My hometown is very important to me because that’s where my family lives. It’s where I come from, so it shapes a lot of who I am as a person. If I move away, I’ll likely be homesick for a while.

Q5. Do you think you will continue to live in your hometown?
I’ve lived in my hometown since I was born, and I would be happy to continue living there. However, I’d like to try living abroad, even if it’s just for a short time.

Q6. Can you tell me about your hometown?
My hometown, Delhi, is the second-largest in India. The capital of the country, New Delhi, is also there. There is an international airport in Delhi, so it’s easy to travel in and out of the country from there.

Q7. How has your hometown changed over the years?
It has developed much better public transportation, such as the metro, which has really improved the overall accessibility of the city. There have also been measures undertaken to reduce pollution and crowds, so those problems have slightly improved. Improvements are still being made to the education system, as well.

Q8. Is there any way your hometown could be made better?
I think one of the biggest issues in Delhi is women’s safety. The city does not have a good reputation surrounding this problem, and many women fear going out alone in the city because of it. More needs to be done to protect women in Delhi.

Q9. Are there good transportation links to your hometown?
Yes, there are trains, buses and major highways that connect easily to Delhi. There is an airport in New Delhi, and since it’s the capital of India, it is very well connected to the rest of the country.

Well, there are many different kinds of jobs, since it is a major city, but I think some of the fastest-growing job markets are in computer programming and software development. There are also many jobs in marketing and retail. However, the salaries that people make can vary quite a bit depending on how much experience they have, so sometimes it can be hard to make a living even in a city like Delhi.

Delhi is probably best known for its capital within the city, New Delhi, and the president’s house, which is called the Rashtrapati Bhavan. It is also well-known to tourists for its food and marketplaces. Those who enjoy history can also check out Qutub Minar, which is also an interesting sight.
