Stories from Our Walks, Now on Your Bookshelf

For years, I've wandered through Delhi's gullies (lanes), sharing all those choti choti (little) kahaniyan (stories) hidden in chai stalls, ancient havelis, and broken walls. Har cheez mein ek kahani hai (everything has a story), and I wanted you to be able to take those stories home. That’s why I decided to turn our walks into words, collecting the city’s soul in a 16-part book series.

What You’ll Find Inside

Each book is straight from the heart - not a dry history lesson, but a living, breathing look at Delhi’s heritage.

  • Dive into Delhi heritage stories from our most iconic walks, each book focusing on one neighbourhood or theme.
  • Discover the folklore of Feroz Shah Kotla and the mysterious djinns that haunt its ruins.
  • Get lost in the world of Sufi music in Nizamuddin, with tales of love and faith threaded through every page.
  • Wander through Mehrauli’s ancient tombs, and see what’s left of Old Delhi’s fading architecture.

Your Memory, Our Archive

I want this collection to be more than just my experiences. If you’ve got your own Delhi stories or memories, send them in. This is a memory archive of Delhi, and your voice matters.

More Cities, More Stories

This is just the beginning. I’m dreaming of archiving every city I explore, one walk and one book at a time.

My Story

Funny thing, you can live your whole life in Dilli and still not really know her, yaar. We started wandering - Mehrauli’s tombs, Shahjahanabad’s galis, Lodhi’s gardens - and heard stories you’ll never find in school books. Poets, traitors, saints… all left something behind. So, we made it our kaam (work) to bring these stories alive. Not just walks, but books too. Dilli ki kahaniyaan (Delhi’s tales) are meant to be shared, na?

My Work

Heritage Walks, Food Trails & Cultural Events - We do storytelling heritage walks, old Delhi food exploration, qawwali night experiences, kite flying, and more.

Stories First, Not Just Facts - We’re not your usual guides. Every monument, every gali, has a story. We share those, not just history dates.

See Delhi With New Eyes - Think you know Chandni Chowk? Wait till you hear the hidden havelis tours and real tales behind the chaos.

For Curious Souls - History nerd, foodie, or just bored of the same old? If you’re curious, you’ll find something here.

Delhi’s Stories, Now In Books - We turn our best stories into a Delhi history book series, so you can take a bit of Dilli home.
