Abdur Rahim khan-i-khana’s tomb 600 years,and still going strong
Mirza Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khana was the son of Bairam Khan and served both Akbar and Jahangir. He was a great scholar who knew several languages and wrote couplets in Hindi.
Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khana’s tomb in Nizamuddin. The tomb was built by Rahim with red sandstone and Delhi quartzite in memory of his wife in 1598. The grave of Rahim, who died in 1627, is carved with stucco work and intricate patterns. On the first floor of the tomb, there is a cenotaph of Rahim.
From the tomb we went to a site which was a market during those times. It had many gates and one of the southern gates was called Arab Ki Saraai, built by Haji Begum for the 300 people she called from Arabia to recite Quran.
Then we went to Neela Gumbad, a dome made with blue tiles and carved with beautiful flowers and other colourful patterns. The trip was a remarkable experience for all of us and made us aware of our heritage.

Aircel launched its GSM mobile services in Delhi
Aircel, a joint venture between between Malaysia's Maxis Communications and Apollo Hospital Wednesday launched its GSM mobile services in Delhi and said it will invest $10 billion for rolling out services in the country's 23 telecom circles.
ircel, which was operational in south India (Tamil Nadu), now plans to enter 11 circles, nationally. It has expanded its network in the northern and eastern parts of the country, and has already started operations in states such as Assam, North East, Orissa, West Bengal, J&K, Himachal Pradesh and Bihar. The other four circles where the services of Aircel are to be operational soon, include, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh (East), Uttar Pradesh (West) and Kolkata.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Darga - New Delhi
Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia (d. 1325 A.D.) represents in many ways the pinnacle of the Chishti Order of the Sufis. Hazrat Baba Farid, his spiritual guide, said to him on appointing him as his successor: "Be like a big tree, so that Allah's creation, the human beings in their vast multitudes, may find rest and solace under your shadow." This partly explains why he admitted so many (according to some, including Barani, too many) men into the Chishti order as his disciples. Another reason has been clearly formulated in this way: "History, nonetheless, bears out the wisdom of his open-ended policy . 
With regard to the Sufi path, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia taught the following: "For a dervish, three things are necessary. They all begin with an 'ain' (an Arabic letter), i.e., Ishq (love), Aql (intelligence) and Ilm (knowledge). Let us discuss these three qualities one by one.
