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?

Chandnichowk aways reminds me of K3G. What does "DIGJAM" mean?

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!
