Delhi’s katib write the last chapter in the city’s Urdu Bazaar
Katib Mohammed Ghalib, 54, has very little to do these days. There was a time when he would stay seated for hours, head bent almost reverentially over sheets of paper, and leave a trail of beautiful handwriting in his wake.
As the hours wore on, Ghalib brought poetry to life, imprinted news on handwritten newspapers and magazines, and etched stories in books whose covers were decorated in gold foil. He is one of only three surviving katib or Urdu scribes in Old Delhi’s Urdu Bazaar, a market near the southern gate of the Jama Masjid.

Yellow, Yellow, Gritty Fellows!
It was a nippy Sunday morning but nothing that would keep the rugged Delhiite away from the annual Senior Citizens’ Run supported by Harmony at the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon. Not even the mood-dampening smog that had descended on the capital a week earlier could do that! So said 74 year-old Sarla Rani and her band of regulars at the run who arrived at Nehru Stadium on the morning of 19 November even before the sun did. Soon they were joined by busloads of silvers from all over Delhi, Noida and Gurugram.
