About The Book
Ghalib: A Hundred Moods: a selection of 100 couplets of the greatest of Urdu poets, neither represents his best nor is it according to any particular theme. 'And yet, this selection is unique-for, as the reader can see, each of the couplets has been translated into stone. This has been made possible by Brijendra Sayal who has spent a lifetime not only in collecting these stone specimens but chiselling them into a fineness where they reflect the essence of Ghalib.
The English translation of the couplets included in the volume has been accomplished by Dr. O.P. Kejariwal, Nehru Fellow, and a historian of repute. Dr. Vimlesh Kanti Verma of the DAV College, Delhi, has done the phonetic transcription of the couplets.
Artists like Chughtai and Sadiqain have made Ghalib's poetry the subject of their paintings but here, for the first time, Ghalib has been portrayed through stone. In this sense, the book is unique.
