Yesterday evening brought
something special for the old lanes of Delhi 6. The esteemed newspaper Hindustan
Times’ month long campaign to save Shahjahanabad met with a beautiful conclusion
in the form of a musical concert titled “Dilli-6 Revisiting Shahjahanabad at
Town Hall, Chandni Chowk. From very well-known poet, lyricist and filmmaker
Gulzar to sufi singer Lalima to popular duo Nazami Brothers, all made this
event a big hit with their poetry and lovely singing. While veteran Gulzar
shared his fond memories of Dilli-6 and his experience of seeing Mahatma Gandhi
for the first time near the Sis Ganj Gurudwara, Nazami Brothers sang many big
hits including “Dama Dum Mast Kalandar”. Let’s take a view of this musical
journey through these pictures:
