In Delhi's Maidan Garhi, a Pond Survives the City's Urban Expansion · thequint.com

In the middle of a busy city called Delhi, there's a small village area named Maidan Garhi.

While walking around, someone mentioned a pond nearby.

This was surprising because the area is very crowded and always growing.

The writer was curious about the pond, wondering what kind of birds live there, if people use it, and how it smells.

A few days later, while riding in an auto-rickshaw, the writer saw the pond for the first time.

It's called Madudi Johad, and it's a small piece of nature that has managed to survive in the middle of the city.
