Lightbulb chandnchowk

hello petals,

i've visited chandni chowk market in dehli last year and feel in love with it . as i'm going back on a few weeks i wanted to visit it again, however am a bit concerned it might not be safe to walk around the narrown alleys and bazaars on my (being a girl). do you know of any taxi firms who'll also offer a driver to accompany me, i hear namaste tours are pretty good. or could anyone recommend any other method of getting around there - perhaps a guide i can trust?

Surely, you can visit Chandni Chowk on your own !!

Why do you think you'll need an escort?

In India "DIGJAM" is a brand of suitings/shirtings. Is this what you are referring to ??

Yes - it's displayed prominently above a shop in a scene in K3G... I've always wondered what it meant. Thank you!
