Hauz Khas - A place for nightlife or rich Indian history to cherish?

Considering this fact, I want to write about one of those sensational places in Delhi, which is known for its music, lights and  restaurants, not for its enormous historical monuments.

I think even weather knew my mood and ought to this scenario a light current of air was started to tickle my cheeks and touch my hair smoothly. I just loved that blend of parched and muggy climate. I got so much appreciation from onlookers while doing my work. I felt like I
