Looks deserted in your pictures.

The place looks less crowded that I would imagine for Mumbai. Especially the train station.
Did you go on a holiday?
I went on a Tuesday late morning so either I missed the peak hour or maybe it is close to Christmas and people are on holiday. The train station was sure crowded enough when I arrived. I think the photo was taken in between the arrival and departure times when there were less crowds.

What month were you there? I'm surprised it's so clear, for winter, in Delhi (though not in Agra).
Thanks intltravel90! I was in India mid-Dec, and it was a nice day in Delhi for me which was lucky I guess.

Do have the food in India, stevie, it is plain amazing. Since I was travelling alone, I had meals mainly in the hotel and aside from getting some snacks in the small shops around more hygienic places and food courts in the airports, I did not want to risk getting sick by eating the food in roadside stalls. This is even though I frequent roadside stalls in Indonesia.

I think as long as you avoid the street stalls, you should be fine.
