@_OldTradesMan @PTI_News That too is your individual opinion but will you have thr same reaction about the general Lack of cleanliness around our temples and other pilgrimage sites.

@PTI_News I despise any hindu that goes to a dargah, dogle log, they are not hindus but future victims of Islamic Jihad. And even in islam dargah is haram.

VIDEO | The mausoleum of the revered Sufi saint, Nizamuddin Auliya, draws countless visitors each day, some in search of spiritual solace, others drawn to the nearby resting place of his beloved disciple, Amir Khusro. The dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin, as it is widely known, has stood in what is now South Delhi for more than seven centuries, ever since the Sufi saint was laid to rest here in 1325. The spiritual and cultural standing of the dargah notwithstanding, the area in and around this iconic complex is marked by neglect, with broken pavements, garbage, and a general sense of civic apathy. Historians point out that this, sadly, is not the fate of Nizamuddin Auliya's dargah alone. Several other iconic monuments and heritage sites suffer from similar neglect. Sohail Hashmi, Historian, says, "This kind of filth and garbage that you see there is our reality, and its basic cause is poverty. You can go to any protected monument in India… just look behind the Taj Mahal, look behind Itmad-ud-Daula, look right on the main road at the entry of Itmad-ud-Daula, or look at the entry of Qutub Minar." Syed Altamash Nizami, Joint Secretary of Nizamuddin Dargah, says, "There are problems with the sewage system and the roads, and at the same time, the people living here also lack civic sense. They don't know much about the historical significance of the buildings around them, and they don't pay attention to it either. We will request the Central Government, the State Government, and the municipal authorities to give this area proper attention because it is very important historically." #NizamuddinDargah #NizamuddinAuliya #AmirKhusro

@SalamPP4 @PTI_News That is a matter of belief, but look at the state of the surroundungs of some of our most celebrated mosques, will you say the same about them also?

@PTI_News Such places are nothing to do with religion and religion of Islam prohibit worshiping any Auliyas or seeking blessings from them .

@AmbarishSatwik Dear Ambarish, This is simply outstanding, sharing among a few friends who sing

There were, perhaps still are, the blessed few who’ve seen Begum Akhtar take a paan. To have witnessed it was to have glimpsed nafaasat as a reflex. Observers were often struck by the smallness of the paan. The gilauri was pared down to what was essential. Just choona, kathha, supari. Maybe some saunf and ilaichi (no zarda: tobacco she smoked, leaving her paan innocent of vice). A triangular wedge tucked between cheek and grace. It stayed there invisibly, like a secret. Would stain the mouth, but never the lips. The nafasat lay in that distinction. It was a kind of calibration. There were no unseemly bovine workings of the jaw. The leaf infused her, perfumed her throat. You wouldn’t know there was betel in her mouth unless she wanted you to. Unless she laughed. Decades of paan and supari will do things to a mouth. Many have wondered if the gilauri was Akhtari’s accomplice. If it gave the grain in her voice. With years of lime and areca alkaloids, the buccal lining grows stringy and gets bands of scars underneath. Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic, insidious, scarring disease of the oral cavity. The tongue is depapillated, the mucosa becomes leathery, the uvula shrinks. Palatal lift is less supple. Consonants get cramped at the front gate. The singer’s mucosa, once a lubricated resonator, becomes almost like dry felt. And tightened by scar. Paan-chewing cohorts show measurable drifts in voice parameters. There’s a kind of spectral roughness: the bloom left by years of petty friction and low-grade scarring. And dryness. It leaves them wanting more of the betel quid, to sluice the mouth and throat in that alkaline, tannin-rich juice. I’ve no evidence that Akhtari ever suffered that slow tightening, or what shape it might have given her sound. But here is Chha Rahi Kaali Ghataa, from her later years, when her voice had begun to carry its own weather. The dark rainclouds are outside, the storm is in the throat.

@connect_grv @ShabnamHashmi @MukulWasnik @sardesairajdeep Following this logic, children of all MP's who have criminal anticedents should be thrown out of schools, colleges and universities, though very few reach that level.

@ShabnamHashmi @MukulWasnik @sardesairajdeep What non sense. Where are we heading or have we already reached a point where these things are normal!!!

@IndiaUpdatess @nramind Spoken like an established boot licker of crony capital.

@nramind Great orator with bad ideology. Fought with congress entire life, in the end sat on their lap. Indira Ji jailed him and he batted for Rahul. So sad. Left ideology is dangerous for India. Shame on those who propagate it. Rest in Peace Yechury Sitaram.

It’s extraordinarily difficult and emotionally wrenching to come to terms with the death of Sitaram Yechury (August 12, 1952-September 12, 2024), a friend and comrade of close to 50 years. Sita was brilliant, versatile, charismatic, empathetic, and amiable — and his life was a model of purity, integrity, commitment, sacrifice, and ideological and political accomplishment. As the CPI(M) Polit Bureau’s statement of homage points out, his untimely death “at this crucial juncture in our national politics is a big blow to the CPI(M) and a grievous loss for the Left, democratic, and secular forces.” The people of India have lost of their finest sons.

@MissSalunke @gauharraza9 @PenguinIndia @drsanjivkmishra @mathur_vaishali How many of his books have you read, not one I am sure. He has written two books of poems and this one is on science and myths. You have passed your judgement without reading any of his writings and I am not surprised, your posts are rather self revealing.

@gauharraza9 @PenguinIndia @drsanjivkmishra @mathur_vaishali Look at his tweets. Maybe you'll easily guess which religion it targets.

@DMickeviciene This means only one thing, my plan to visit Vilnius and other parts of Lithuania, with friends, needs to be scheduled around end march and early April, can't miss this site.

Scillas sibericas blooming in the historic Bernardine cemetery in #Vilnius #Lithuania this week. Thousands of nature, city and history lovers flock here on their annual pilgrimage, but strangely one does not feel the crowds as people disperse in the vastness of the ethereal blue.

Zafar Agha, senior journalist and Editor-in-Chief National Herald passed away this morning.

@DilliDurAst Stubble burning is the smoke screen behind which automobile industry continues to sell a 1000 new petrol/ diesel/ battery driven pollution agents on the streets of Delhi. The battery operated version is ideal, a product of phenomenal pollution but the user is guilt free.

People leaving Delhi for “smog vacation”. Shall we call it smogcation? People from across India should visit Delhi during this smogocalypse for pollution tourism. See how urban landscape looks like in sepia tint. Smell the burnt stubble that’s going to bring you both rice and wheat. More than anything else, come see your future. Air pollution has already reached Mumbai. All of India will be Smogistan soon. Come get an early glimpse! #DelhiAir #DelhiPollution #AirQuality #AQI #LetMeBreathe

@DeepakSanan7 All of them have to have one sterling quality, rank opportunism.

thehindu.com/news/national/… Another one who thinks highly of his own worth and feels his contribution will profit humanity, regardless of the regime his appointment is associated with? Or is it just about the crumbs the position brings with it?
