In which city is Old Delhi Railway Station located?

To all the well read gents and ladies who replied ‘Delhi’ I would like to inform them that they will have to sit for their 10th Board exams again because they have failed and have to return their certificates!

And not to worry because before today morning even I would have replied ‘Delhi’, but I am better read because I read the Gurgaon edition of the Times of India and on page 20 of Delhi Times today I came to know that Old Delhi Railway Station is in Gurgaon!!!!

This set me wondering because the last that I had visited the place to drop my son, it was entrenched right next to Chandni Chowk and Red Fort. And it is not possible that in the few years intervening it could have been transplanted right into Gurgaon. But there are three explanations for this:

EXPLANATION 1: The person composing this page studied for his ‘O’ levels in Guru Dronacharya’s Gurukul and believes that Gurgaon is the capital of the world.

EXPLANATION 2: The person is trying to create a rift between Delhi and Gurgaon so that one of the two cedes from the country. But we believe in national integration and can happily sacrifice any number of pages for our neighbours.

EXPLANATION 3: The bureau still has NO news about Gurgaon. And that is why it has again slipped in a small appeal in the corner in ill-readable font asking for ‘goss’ or anything which goes by the name of news. So readers are requested to send in all the ‘goss’ they hear at the beauty parlour and the paan shop so that Gurgaon news can be published on Gurgaon pages. They’ll surely get back to you!
