In reply to The Untourists. Food is not the highlight for me. I like the little shops and sometimes the cultural programs that happen there.

Dilli Haat is something I love too. Especially for the food! So many states’ food, its always a tough choice.

I also love delhi haat, but there is too much of bargaining, they just come to half the price they quoted and that is one part I dont like, because i am very bad at bargaining plus it never gives me satisafction of good shopping

Dear Anuradha, I wish you had spent more time looking at the information booth. I am also a regular visitor at the dilli haat like you. I do not know if you have noticed,the booth has a Lcd screen as well which runs ad film's and amongst the film's I saw a film on human trafficking and breast cancer. Kudos to Delhi Tourism for taking such an initiative to provide valuable information and social messages to the general public.
Cheers
Rohit

The first electronic gadget one finds at Dilli Hat is at the entrance – you walk through it but is doesn’t work and it is supposed to perform a security check. Then there are those ugly gadgets associated to commerce – credit card approval systems. Then those terrible gadgets on the food stalls called refrigerators or perhaps coffee machines. Should these commercial electronic instruments be allowed? They spoil the rusticity and handicraft aspect. Utter nonsense. I sincerely hope that you do not carry a mobile phone to Dilli Haat but, if you do then you certainly don’t answer when it rings and immediately realise your oversight and turn it off. This things are nothing but an imposition on everyone around. I too go to Dilli Haat and I send many foreign visitors there and also suggest they look at the screen to see what else is on in Delhi. This is information for the public. What’s wrong with that? No worse, and probably better than the other gadgets discussed.

Great piece - wish the bloggers desirs come true as by then the whole universe will resemble a magnified Dilli Haat.

Isn't there some form of self-censorship in the blogosphere?

Its shocking to say the least...... spare us our sanity.

as they say - silence is golden sometimes...,..

, the blogosphere, how can you be so stuck in the old? Information Kiosks by their definition provide Info you can use. Pithy, succint and to the point. It’s not the rambling idiscipline of self-praising idolatory. As for Books and pamphlets; have you considered the ecological waste. Not to mention a weekly updating; which is what the kiosk does. Finally if the kiosk helps people find information make bookings; while connecting artisans to markets and buyers i’m not complaining. I’m praising the Delhi Tourism’s vision.
We have taken six decades to have pride in our ethnic roots; let’s display enough self-confidence to mirror India in all her avatars, including the technological.
