I ate Bengali food after my parents married and Dad started living with us, in both Willesden and in Delhi for three years, and then we all moved to California. Dad said he could make a really good dal, but I never saw him cook during the whole time we lived together.

I was in high school when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled India's flag in New Delhi.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

One big mistake that we made in Delhi is that we made it a low-rise city which means that rich people have nice green colonies while the poor live in dusty areas.

Abhijit Banerjee

My family was extremely progressive. My parents had a love marriage, but they separated when I was two years old. I moved to Delhi with my mom, who got involved with the family business.

Aditi Rao Hydari

Delhi is fabulous - the roads, greenery, the monuments!

Delhi, for me, means my mother and lots of love!

I've always had strong ties with Delhi, and I do stay in touch with my friends and periodically visit the capital. I started my schooling at St. Columbus High School before I went to Mayo College. Delhi, for me, is a historical city with all its beautiful monuments.

Ajay Mehta

I have found Delhi so much more beautiful than Mumbai. South and central Delhi, especially, are just so beautiful - the roads, the trees, the buildings, the history.

Akshaye Khanna

I love coming to Delhi. Driving around in south Delhi is fun. And the food here is fab.

Akshaye Khanna

Of course, every city has its own character, but I enjoy coming to Delhi.

Like Hyderabad you can't shoot outside in summers. Similarly, Delhi gets scorching in summers.

Amala Akkineni

I left Delhi, in 1971, shortly after Collective Choice and Social Welfare was published in 1970.

Amartya Sen

Here's what my CV usually does not say: I was trained as a teacher. My first job lasted less than 60 days. I was an assistant professor at a good college at Delhi University, but I found it very political, very suffocating. At the age of 23, you're not very tolerant of those things.

Amit Bhatia

Kejriwal's only mantra is to tell lies and talk forcefully and repeatedly, but Delhi cannot develop with telling lies.

Amit Shah

I love everything about Delhi, mostly the fact that people here never fail to react to music.

Amit Trivedi

Long ago, when I was in higher secondary school in Delhi, I read an essay by George Orwell in which he said there was a voice in his head that put into words everything he was seeing. I realised I did that, too, or maybe I started doing it in imitation.

Amitava Kumar

The Delhi winter is amazing.

Amrita Rao

Mumbai can eat you up or teach you how to survive because it is a tricky city. I guess living in cities like Mumbai or Delhi makes you slightly more street-smart and alert.

Amyra Dastur

India - I've always felt at home there. Delhi and Mumbai and the Taj Mahal are all incredible - but it's the people I love. Indians are so interesting and accommodating and friendly. The best hotel I've stayed at there is the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur: its architecture is unbelievable.

Andrew Flintoff

It's not that I don't like cricket. I have played first class cricket and represented Delhi in the Ranji Trophy as a spinner, but at the same time my inclination to become an actor was very strong.

Angad Bedi

'Pink,' which is set in Delhi, is not women-centric but a youth film.
