A lot of people would call Delhi a pretty expensive place to live in. Apart from certain street foods, most other things seem to burn a hole in our wallets and put a rock in our tummies. Going to a pub or eating at a restaurant aren’t the only things you can do around here though.
There’s a whole bunch of fun stuff covering a wide range that you can do in the city, and all for less than a hundred bucks! Read on( I know you want to).
1. Buy a pocket cookbook from Midland, get groceries like eggs and onions and make a solid meal for two.
2. Buy a Kurta from Sarojini Nagar to wear to college.
3. Treat yourself to some of the tastiest paani puri and golgappas at Nathu’s, Bengali Market after a long day.
4. Take the bus to Daryaganj for the Sunday book bazaar and buy your mom her favourite book with money to spare.
5. Movie ticket prices on Thursdays are Rs.100(weirdly enough) at PVR Anupam. Also, Amba, Batra and Alpana halls in North Campus for cheap movie viewing.
