An Irish-Persian vlogger's Instagram post about living in Delhi is going viral on social media. In his post, Sean Hammond shared a long caption detailing his experience living in the city. He denied claims made by people about Delhi and encouraged others to visit the city and embrace its unique energy despite its challenges. "I've heard people from all over saying that Delhi isn't the place to go if you want to visit India. Even other Indians have told me that, but I couldn't disagree more," he wrote in his post.
Mr Hammond praised the warmth of Delhi people, saying, "I've met so many people here who have accepted me with open arms, introduced me to their friends and families, expecting nothing in return". He also expressed admiration for Delhi's "colourful and vibrant" streets, food and architecture, especially Akshardham Temple. "The architecture on display here is incredible! Like I said in the video I genuinely don't think I've ever seen anything like Akshardahm in my life. The attention to detail is truly unparalleled," he wrote.

Further, the vlogger said Delhi is his most-visited city in India and it is where he feels most comfortable. "It's true that there's a lot of pollution, and that it's a bit chaotic. But nowhere is perfect, and to be honest I love the chaos, it's where I thrive!" Mr Hammond said.
"If you're go to India and you've only been to Kerala and Goa, or even places like Jaipur and Pushkar, you've missed out. Sure those places are beautiful but you need to experience EVERYTHING that India has to offer. The current metro area population of Delhi is 33 MILLION people you just have to experience what it's like to be in a place like that. If it's not for you that's ok but you have to try it at least once," he added.
