1000 Places to See......India

In discovery HD, there is program 1000 Places to see before you Die. I watched the India Episode. In the program a young married couple(Chris and Malin) travels all the place and they express the beauty and uniqueness of the place.

In this episode they travel to New Delhi, Capitol of India. They started their Journey in auto-rickshaw (a three wheel automobile)
Chris asks "why people are using Horns", the guide says to drive in India, three things are necessary "Good Horn, Good Brake and Good Luck".

The guide take them to "Chandini-Chowk" a shopping area. Malin the girl go out with a shorts and a T-shirt. After a while she realizes people are starring at her. Then she learns people in India specifically females don't show their bare leg. I don't know why but that is the true. But the guide with her was very smart, she took her to the near by shop and buy her a "Sudithar" a typical Indian outfit for girls. Chris feels happy because the Malin outfit cost him only $10. They keep walking into the street, Chris ask to the guide "what's up with this wires crossing above their head". It is nothing but power line with 240 Volts. it was the funniest moment, as soon as he knows all of them is electric power lines he goes "Its crazy, I don't believe it and he runs away from that place".

In the rest of the episode they go to "Taj Mahal" and all other places in Delhi. Episode finishes with "India is organized chaos but life moves on fast here".
