Discover The Charms Of Delhi
"Manual." Contrary to what you might expect, packaging
material in an old-fashioned three-ring binder or a copy-
shop coil binding, sent through the mail can also increase
the perceived value of information, compared with "e-books."
This can go for as much as several hundred dollars when it's
up-to-date, advanced professional knowledge not available in
bookstores, libraries or on the Web. Fancy packaging may
even lower a manual's perceived value because it counteracts
the implicit exclusivity of such a purchase.
From a make-shift call centre, they chatted with clients online and by phone -- but instead of offering sex, they said they were unavailable as they had been beaten by their pimp, or explained how the girl requested had been stabbed to death by a customer.
Red Fort: Red Fort is another old monument that now witnesses Republic Day celebration each year on 26th January. It is advisable to visit this site during the evening (at around sunset) so that you can make the full use of your trip and also get to see the light & sound show. The show glorifies the freedom fighters and the brave martyrs who contributed towards the birth of independent India. If you are looking for more historical forts, then you can also catch Delhi to Goa flights and head to Goa, the state of magnificent forts & churches.
"Course." Instead of calling the sections "chapters," try
calling them "lessons." Presenting information as
instructional material also raises its perceived value,
because people are accustomed to paying much more for
seminars and classes than for books. A writer I know sells
120 pages of printed material, divided into eight lessons,
as a $295 course. The price includes feedback from the
instructor on assignments, which most purchasers do not get
around to submitting. Likewise, copywriter Joe Vitale has
charged as much as $1,500 for a limited-enrollment seminar
consisting mainly of five e-mailed lessons.
A tour of Delhi would be incomplete with visiting the memorials of national leaders. The simple elegance of a black stone marks the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi, the Rajghat. Nearby are other memorials, Shanti Van (Pandit Nehru), Shakti Sthal (Indira Gandhi), Vijay Ghat (Lal Bahadur Shastri) and Vir Bhumi (Rajiv Gandhi).
For your stay, there are plenty of options for accommodation from top-end luxury hotels, mid-rung and budget hotels, luxury resorts, lodges and guest houses.
Terminology greatly affects how people perceive value. Call
something a "brochure" and no one will want to pay for it.
Call it a "booklet" and it sounds small and insignificant,
perhaps worth up to four or five dollars. Call your digital
document an "e-book" and people instinctively compare it to
tangible books and will pay no more than what they'd pay for
something they can pick up at the bookstore. Indeed,
according to Angela Adair-Hoy, co-owner of Booklocker.com,
the magical price point for e-books is just $8.95.
Qutub Minar: One of the most famous and iconic landmarks of Delhi is the towering Qutub Minar. It is majestic, magnificent and the tallest brick minaret in the world. Since it was built nearly 1000 years back, so it holds a lot of heritage and historical importance.
If you are nostalgic about the days gone by, walk in Teen Murti House, where Pandit Nehru lived for 16 years. Stroll into the Nehru Museum and Library. Next, visit India Gate. Initially called the All India War Memorial, it is a 42 meter high structure designed by Edwin Lutyens. Salute the valiant soldiers at the Amar Jawan Jyoti, who laid down their lives during World War I.
Lodhi Gardens is the perfect urban oasis, great for jogging. Even if you are not a jogger, there is plenty to look around tombs, stunning landscaped gardens; listen to the fluty call of the golden oriole and see the exquisite nest of the tailor bird. Nehru Park is for those who love nature trips. On a Sunday morning, you can hear famous musicians perform, or you can catch an artist or two adding inspired strokes to their canvas. Another patch of green you would love is the Deer Park, in Hauz Khas. Bump into a spotted deer on a walkway or catch a peacock dancing in the sun.
"Special report." In the business world, people will spend
much more money for timely business information or
instruction when it's called a "special report" than for an
"e-book." A dollar per page is not unusual -- $4.00 or
$5.00 for four pages, $97 for 90 to 100 pages. My research
turned up many even higher priced special reports, where the
author already had impressive credentials, such as $195 for
a 114-page report from usability guru Jakob Nielsen's firm
and $945 for a 245-page report on Russia's aerospace
industry from Jane's, a well-known U.K. security and
international affairs information company.
Delhi has many beautiful churches, where you can walk in, sit in the pew, and enjoy your moment of communion with God. St. Peters church, on Bhai Veer Singh Marg, is known for its cruciform shape and the dome. If you are headed towards Old Delhi, do not miss St. James Church, near Kashmiri Gate, the oldest church in Delhi. Very close to Bangla Sahib is the Sacred Heart Cathedral, with a stunning read-and-white façade, and a beautiful altar made of carrara marble.
