Remembering Mirza Ghalib as he turns 220: ‘The world is the body, Delhi its soul’. Ghalib (the conqueror) was born as Asadullah Baig Khan on December 27, 1797 in Kala Mahal, Agra into a family descending from Aibak Turks who moved to Samarkand (modern-day Uzbekistan) after downfall of Seljuk kings. He came to Delhi when he was 13. Ghalib ki Haveli was the residence of the 19th century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib and is now a heritage site located in the Gali Qasim Jan, Ballimaran, Old Delhi and reflects the period when the Mughal era was on the decline in India. While staying at this Haveli, Ghalib wrote his Urdu and Persian diwans. (NurPhoto via Getty Images). Sanjay Singh doesn’t know Urdu. But whenever his friends are in town, he makes sure they visit Mirza Ghalib’s haveli that stands down Gali Qasim Jaan in Chandni Chowk’s rundown neighbourhood of Ballimaran. This Sunday too, Singh, 28, a graphic-designing student, accompanied his friend Dolan to the mansion, walking ...

Google has paid tribute to the late legendary Indian singer Mohammed Rafi through the Google doodle on 24 December which marks his 93rd birth anniversary. In a detailed post , Google outlines Rafi’s life right from when he was “a little boy named Pheeko” to Mohammed Rafi. The doodle was made by Sajid Shaikh, a Mumbai-based illustrator, depicting the image of Rafi recording music with wired headphones and a microphone with the music notes in his left hand. The doodle also includes a still from Rafi’s hit song ‘Chala Bhi Aa Aaja Rasiya’ from the drama ‘Man Ki Aankhen' (1970). This still shows Dharmendra and Waheeda as part of the sketch. It is also likely that the still could be from another of Rafi’s songs, ‘Aaj Mausam Bada Beimaan Hai’ from Loafer (1973) with Dharmendra and Mumtaz. The uncertainty is because of the similar poses used while shooting romantic songs in Bollywood in the 1970s and 1980s. Rafi was born in the pre-Partition era, in the Amritsar district of Punjab, Pa...
