Ghazal ke GHULAM!
There are very few people whose wisdom speaks in the way they conduct themselves; ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali is one among them. In Chandigarh for a concert being organised by the Naad Foundation, the Pakistani Ghazal singer speaks to the delight of all those present.
His mere presence set the cameras rolling. Between the light of the flash bulbs, he steps forward and misses the microphone! In his baritone voice, he says,
"Zaayada baton se kuch nahi hota, ek baat hi aaram se ho jaye to accha hai." Draping a shawl, he exuded all the charm that he is known for. A promise with the foundation five months ago gets him here again.

And due to designer patterns and use of diamond with this metal, the complete piece looks stunning.
