Love in Chandni Chowk: A Tale of Romance and Heritage My name is Shagufta, a student at the National School of Drama, staying at Malka Ganj. Ever since my first year, I've been in love with Harry, an Old Delhi tour guide . Every day, Harry comes to the gate of my college at Mandi House, and we take the metro to reach the bustling heart of Chandni Chowk. As we walk through the vibrant markets, holding hands, the world around us fades into a blur of colors, sounds, and scents. Our first stop is always Jalebi Wala , a 100-year-old shop where we savor the delicious combination of crispy samosas with tangy tamarind sauce and big, juicy jalebis. The taste is an explosion of flavors, much like our love – sweet, intense, and unforgettable. After our snack, we often visit Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib . Sitting together in the serene atmosphere, listening to the holy music, I find a profound sense of peace and connection. Harry's presence, always respectful and caring, makes me feel secure an

Whispers of the Forgotten: Rediscovering Begumpur Mosque's Hidden Legacy Nestled within the vibrant cityscape of Delhi, the Begumpur Mosque stands as a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered by those with an affinity for history and architectural marvels. Built during the 14th century Tughlaq period, this mosque is one of the seven believed to have been constructed by Khan-i-Jahan Junan Shah, the prime minister of Firoz Shah Tughluq.

Though not adorned with intricate carvings or embellishments, the mosque emanates a unique grandeur that reflects its historical significance. Located within the Begumpur village, the mosque is said to have served as the main mosque of Jahanpanah, the "Sanctuary of the World," a city established by Muhammad Tughluq.

Love in Architecture: The Romantic Tale of Bega Begum and Humayun's Tomb

Image
The Architecture and Story of Bega Begum and Humayun's Tomb We always love Taj Mahal as a symbol of love because it was built by a man for his love. Be it the Chittorgarh Fort, Roopmati Mandap, or Bibi's Tomb, these monuments have one thing in common that they were built by men for women. There are many structures built by men for their loved ones but we only hear about structures built by women for men. Well, there are many monuments that women have built for their men like Lokeshwar Temple, Rani Ki Vav, Humayun's Tomb, and many more. We mostly don't consider them as symbols of love because we still see things from a patriarchal perspective. It's not our fault, it's just that we grew up that way, which resulted in our ignorance of many stories from the female point of view. The story of Humayun's Tomb is also one of those that has not received the attention it deserves. The story is about a wife's love for her late husband. Begum was called Zan-i-Kalan
