Literature:Ghalib's legacy-'It takes a lifetime for a desire to be fulfilled but.... But then, didn't Ghalib say .... 'aah ko chahiye aik umr asar honay tak kaun jeeta hai teri zulf kay sar honay tak. ( It takes a lifetime for a desire to be fulfilled/ but then who stays alive for the fulfilment of the desire....) ============== Storm over Ghalib's legacy A hakim, who was an ardent fan of Mirza Ghalib's poetry, presented a haveli to him in Delhi. It was here that Ghalib wrote some of his finest ghazals and recited them to a huge audience every evening. The government took possession of the haveli in 1964 but soon auctioned it to one Mohammed Ali Farooqi, whose bid was the highest at Rs 22,400. He rented it out to tenants but a few years later he died without leaving a legal heir to the property. Since then the haveli has changed hands many times and is steeped in controversy regarding its current ownership. Presently, there is more than one claimant and ownership is fiercely disputed, observes Saikat Neogi. tribuneindia.com home1.pacific.net.sg cs.wisc.edu
