A home that love built
|
M.G.
Devasahayam, who helped Mother Teresa set up Shanti Dan, a home for destitutes at Chandigarh, recalls the efforts behind this noble gesture AS we celebrate the birth centenary of Mother Teresa — counted among the greatest human beings to walk on earth this last century — my mind goes back to the mid-1970s, when I was part of Chandigarh’s milieu, searching for a soul to go beyond the affluence and physical beauty of the city, to touch the poor and the unwanted, and a soul that could give content to a body that is called beautiful.

Mahadevan’s
magic at work
Sreya Basu
chats up Shankar Mahadevan, who perfectly balances his career as
a singer and music composer
You were born in
South India and brought up in Mumbai. Do you miss Kerala?
I am an Iyer from
Palakkad but born and brought up in Mumbai. But if you come to
Mumbai and see certain areas, especially areas like Chembur
where I grew up and Matunga, you are not going to miss South
India because, the people over there, the markets, the clothes
that people wear, the way they talk`85you will feel that you are
in Palakkad.
