Abstract

The present paper is a continuation of the assignment submitted earlier with a different

approach. It analyses and interprets ideational and textual meaning in discourse in the same

text used for the earlier assignment. The undertaken text is named as ‘Old Delhi walking tour,

India: A feast to overcome 'Delhi belly' fears’ written by Julie Miller and published on

February 27, 2015 at 3:30 PM . This text is a report in genre presented by J. Miller where the

author remembers her Delhi visit with a friend; and reflects on the ways her tourist guide

wanted to refute that there was actually no reality in the myth of street food sold on the Old

Delhi roads. The author takes up a narration style to move on to the further dialogues used by

the guide, but subsequently we get to know author’s mood and her experiences about the food

in Old Delhi. From the title itself we hunch the discourse that would be discussed in the

article. It also represents author’s interest in different kind of food though she was afraid of

losing her normal state with the street food in India. Soon she realizes the delicacies and

deliciousness of street food, and despite of being full she couldn’t say no to the tasty treat in

the form of samosas. The text went to a different mood with a gradual development. It started

with a negative attitude about the street food in the author’s mind; whereas it ended with the

positive experiences. The phases it has undergone would be described and analysed in the

further sections.
