Could not find any other forum to post this, hence posting this on what I thought was the most appropriate forum since Gulzarji has been actively involved with the candle light walk The news is that Mirza Ghalib's haveli was let out as a venue to host marriage parties. 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'm reading William Dalrymple these days. I've finished The Last Mughal and White Mughals and will complete City of Djinns in a day or two. What comes through, apart from Mr. Dalrymple's love for Delhi, is his sorrow at the rapid destruction of old Delhi with rampant commercialisation. Its the same in Pakistan. There were some tablets near Mansehra that Asoka wrote on. Those tablets survived the elements and different empires for thousands of years, but have been defaced in recent years (infact destroyed) because Asoka was not a muslim!!! This mean-spirited bigotry and lack of respect for our ancestry is really very depressing.
Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W. H. Auden |
