Delhiwale: Soul of a sartorialist
A citizen of impeccable style, tea stall owner Shakir Hasan always wears ironed pants-shirt; the formal full-sleeve shirt neatly tucked into his belted pants. The slim, elegant man looks truly exclusive, for nobody around him here in Old Delhi's Bulbuli Khana neighbourhood is ever dressed like him. Most men here are seen either in traditional kurta-pajamas, or in ubiquitous denim jeans.. This afternoon, while making his nth round of chai, Shakir Hasan agrees to become a part of our Proust Questionnaire series, in which citizens are nudged to make 'Parisian parlour confessions', all to explore our distinct experiences. Your favourite drink. Doodh. The principal aspect of your personality. It has to be my passion to earn, and to look after my family. I'm also physically very fit compared to most people of my age, here in Dilli-6. Maybe because I walk a lot during the day, delivering chai to around 50 shops. Or, maybe because I have only one meal daily. Your favourite qualities in a person. The ability to understand the true essence of people he or she engages with everyday. What do you appreciate the most in your friends? Their readiness to support me in my bad times. Your main fault. Chain-smoking. You will always see me with Jai Bharat beedi. Where would you like to live? I live in Gali Saeed Khan. I was born there. All my forefathers lived and died here. So I am living where I want to live. Your favourite occupation. To earn the roti of honesty. So, I find satisfaction in my chai stall. My late father, Nawab Hasan, had founded it 38 years ago. Your favourite bird? Kabutar. Your favourite names. The names of my children. Adina, my daughter; Uzaif, my son. The natural talent you'd like to be gifted with. I had the gift. I was a cricketer in my youth, an all-rounder. Since Dilli-6 hardly has any open ground, we boys would play in India Gate Maidan. Faults for which you have the most tolerance. When people say things out of anger. They actually don't mean those hurtful things. How do you wish to die? While making chai.

Shanghai [China], June 1 (ANI): The Consulate General of India in Shanghai, Pratik Mathur on Sunday observed Rabindra Jayanti with a solemn pledge ceremony to honour the victims of the Pahalgam terror attacks. The ceremony reaffirmed India's commitment to fighting terrorism with a zero-tolerance approach. In a post on X, the Consulate said, 'On Rabindra Jayanti, a solemn pledge ceremony was held at Consulate General of India today to remember and pay homage to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attacks. CG Pratik Mathur reaffirmed our firm national resolve to fight terror with a zero tolerance approach as the nation has clearly manifested with Operation Sindoor. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!' In the context of Operation Sindoor and India's continued fight against cross-border terrorism, seven all-party delegations are visiting key partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council. The all-party delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They are carrying forth to the world the country's strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism. Members of Parliament from different parties, prominent political personalities, and distinguished diplomats are a part of each delegation. However, India has not sent any delegation to China. Meanwhile, on May 30, a Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson, Zhang Xiaogang, refused to provide any details on the effectiveness of Pakistan's weapons during the recent military confrontation with India, sidestepping direct answers and instead urging both sides to remain calm, Global Times reported. This comes amid reports of India recovering an unexploded PL-15E missile, a Chinese-made beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. Speaking at a regular Thursday press briefing, spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang emphasised China's hope that both sides will remain calm and restrained to avoid further complicating the situation. When asked for the ministry's comment on the performance of Chinese equipment in the recent India-Pakistan conflict, and on the remarks by Indian military officials that 'Pakistan received support from China's air defense and satellite systems, but the performance of these systems was below average,' Zhang said, 'We would like to stress that India and Pakistan are neighbors that cannot be moved. We hope both sides will remain calm and restrained to avoid further complicating the situation.' He said that China is willing to continue playing a constructive role in maintaining regional peace and stability. (ANI)
