The Diwan e Muhandis was written by Ustad Ahmad's son Lutfullah Muhandis and in one verse describes his father as the architect of #TajMahal and #RedFort

"These two represent only one aspect of his many sided genius,
And constitute just one pearl from his mine of pearls"

As I lay sick this week at home, I am busy with maestro ilayaraja! I saw this ad and recognized the music from Ilayaraja’s BGM from the Tamil movie Veedu (1988). all home themed! What a smart repurposing!
It’s also featured as ‘Do Anything’ in Ilayaraja’s album #howtonameit
