Delhi as it was in the 40's

I have heard much about what Delhi was like in the 40's from my father.The walled city was the main area and densely populated.The only mode of transport was the tonga which would take you from Old delhi to the sparsely populated much greener New Delhi popularly known as Raisina.My father used to go to his North Block office on his bicycle,which was tended with great care.The whole length of Chandni Chowk was dotted with shops selling different wares,interspersed with sweets and chaat shops.It was a complete world.
