Apparently the caretaker of the haveli was later suspended. Gulzar, director Vishal Bharadwaj and his wife and singer Rekha Bharadwaj were a part of the candlelight vigil to commemorate Mirza Ghalib's 212 birthday, and the movement against misuse of the haveli for such commercial activities More details on this article. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/de...how/5383040.cms Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter — to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water. - Albert Schweitzer Without music life would be a mistake - Friedrich Nietzsche Where words fail, music speaks - Hans Christian Anderson Music is spiritual. The music business is not - Van Morrison

I never found this news in my papers, which shows the kind of importance we attach to things. When i visited Mysore a couple of years before, i was moved to see that a painting ( original ) of Ravi Varma was in such a bad state that it was torn in a corner !! With this rate of regression, we wont be preserving any signs of heritage to the generation next.. After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
