Delhiwale: This way to Gali Rakab Ganj (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The name leads you elsewhere. Say Rakab Ganj and you think of the great gurdwara in New Delhi, near the old Parliament. But there is another Rakab Ganj, and it is in Old Delhi, behind Delite Cinema. Gali Rakab Ganj happens to be a centre of the meat trade. The name is printed on many of the meat shop signboards here, although the street is better known as Gosht Wali Mandi, the market for meat. This afternoon, many of the shutters are down. The shop names above the shutters remain on display: Ina
Passing of a Connaught Place icon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He was there every day, presiding over India’s oldest toy shop. He had looked after Ram Chander & Sons in Central Delhi’s Connaught Place (CP) for more than seven decades. One of the last people who remembered the colonial-era CP as it was in its early years, Satish Sundra died this Tuesday, aged 88. The shop at Odeon Building, in D Block, Middle Circle, opened in 1935, and its teakwood shelves and sliding doors have stood there ever since. Even as the rest of CP changed, with legacy showrooms a
Delhiwale: This way to Turkman Gate... “flyover” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A crane stands in front of Old Delhi’s Turkman Gate, its metallic yellow body cutting across the old red sandstone monument. Beside the crane, a man in white kurta-pajama is sitting atop a low block with knees drawn up. Above him, a stretch of concrete roadway ends in mid-air. The weekly “This way to” series usually visits an old Old Delhi street or place, asks how it got its name, and watches how people live in it today. For the first time, its subject is so new that it is still being built. “I
Delhiwale: This way to Punjabi Phatak (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Old Delhi’s Badshah Halwai, aka Shamman Sweets, sits on Ballimaran’s main market road, the counter crowded with food photos. Fittingly, directly across the road, the arched gateway of Punjabi Phatak opens into what feels like Ballimaran’s food pantry. For that alley is lined with scores and scores of eateries. Yazdaan Roti Wale turns out rotis. At Shakeel Parathe Wale, parathas sizzle on the tawa beside crates of eggs. Flyers at Abid Breakfast announce khasta kachori and dal wali kachori. Zaiqa
Delhiwale: The gentleman of Sharif Manzil (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The drawing room is dense with carpets, wooden cabinets and a pendulum clock. Black-and-white portraits of men in topis hang high on the walls. The presence of a window AC fails to disturb the room’s older air. And on the striped sofa, he is sitting with an arm along the backrest. He has short white hair, a grey-white goatee and distant eyes. He is speaking softly and unhurriedly, with light pride but without arrogance, while talking of his family and its Old Delhi past. This was an afternoon sc
