    A Guide to Lajpat Nagar Central Market

    When I moved to India, I was completely clueless about where to get anything. For most of the things, the answer is quite simple: Lajpat Nagar Central Market!

    Now an expert whom even my Indian friends ask for advice now and then, I would like to make your life easier by sharing my wisdom. 🙂
