Khazrati Imam is named after Kaffal Shashi (Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Ismail al-Kaffal al-Kabir as-Shashi, also known as Abu Bakr as-Shashi) 904-979, who was born into a family of locksmiths (kaffal means locksmith), became renowned as a spiritual successor to the hadith scholar Muhammad al-Bukhari (810-870); a poet, polyglot, and the author of many books on Islamic Law. After studying in Baghdad he finally returned to Tashkent to become the first Tashkent Imam.
The origins of the madrasa date to the death of Barak Khan's father, Suyunidzh Khan (Suyunich Khan), who was one of the grandsons of the Timurid ruler Ulugh Begh (1394-1449). Upon his death, Suyunidzh was buried in Tashkent to the south of the Kaffal Shashi Mausoleum in a mausoleum comprising a domed chamber and a nearby khanqah (Sufi lodge). Another small mausoleum was built beside it, likely for a Muslim cleric whose name has not survived. In the 1550s Barak Khan added a madrasa and integrated the two mausoleums and the khanqah into one harmonious whole, entered via a monumental pishtaq.
Patron: Barak Khan, an alternate name for Muhammad Shaybani Khan, c.1451-1510, an Uzbek leader who consolidated various Uzbek tribes and laid the foundations for their ascendance in Transoxiana and the establishment of the Khanate of Bukhara. He was a Shaybanid or descendant of Shiban, the fifth son of Jochi, Genghis Khan’s eldest son. After displacing the Timurids, Barak Khan was appointed ruler of Tashkent at the behest of the ruling khans. Over time, he gained greater autonomy and took the helm of the dynasty itself, ruling as the supreme Khan from 1551-56.

'While there has been a church at the site of Holy Sepulchre for much longer, the current building dates from c.1450 when it was ‘newly re-edified or builded’ by Sir John Popham. The walls, porch and most of the tower all date from this rebuilding.
The interior is a polyglot of different styles and re-designs. The church was completely gutted in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the interior had to be totally re-built. The legend is that Sir Christopher Wren was supposed to do the work, but the Church Wardens at the time got bored of waiting and organised it themselves! Since then the interior has been substantially changed a number of times: in 1712; in 1737; in 1790 in 1834; in 1878; in 1932; and 1955.
There are two significant chapels in the church, The Royal Fusiliers Chapel in the South-East of the church, The Musicians’ Chapel on the North side of the Nave.'

Brussels, officially the Brussels Region or Brussels-Capital Region, is the capital of Belgium and the de facto capital of the European Union (EU). It is also the largest urban area in Belgium, comprising 19 municipalities, including the municipality of the City of Brussels, which is the de jure capital of Belgium, in addition to the seat of the French Community of Belgium and of the Flemish Community.
Brussels has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by a descendant of Charlemagne to a sizeable city. The city has a population of 1.1 million and a metropolitan area with a population of over 1.8 million, both of them the largest in Belgium. Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been a main centre for international politics. Hosting principal EU institutions and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the city has become the polyglot home of numerous international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants.

Brussels (French: Bruxelles, pronounced [bʁysɛl] ( listen); Dutch: Brussel, pronounced [ˈbrʏsəl] ( listen)), officially the Brussels Region or Brussels-Capital Region[1][2] (French: Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, Dutch: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest (help·info)), is the de facto capital of Belgium and of the European Union (EU). It is also the largest urban area in Belgium,[8][9] comprising 19 municipalities, including the municipality of the City of Brussels, which is the de jure capital of Belgium, in addition to the seat of the French Community of Belgium and of the Flemish Community.[10]
Brussels has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by a descendant of Charlemagne into a metropolis of more than one million inhabitants.[11] The metropolitan area has a population of over 1.8 million, making it the largest in Belgium.[6][7]

Hosting principal EU institutions[12] as well as the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the city has become the polyglot home of numerous international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants.[13]
Although historically Dutch-speaking, Brussels became increasingly French-speaking over the 19th and 20th centuries. Today a majority of inhabitants are native French-speakers, and both languages have official status.[14] Linguistic tensions remain, and the language laws of the municipalities surrounding Brussels are an issue of considerable controversy in Belgium.

I had the pleasure of his company last Wednesday, when i normally catch up with folks over some beer, vada, and curd rice for lunch.
He speaks Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu (అనర్గళంగ) fluently. Your average Bang-a-lore-an speaks at least five languages (English and Hindi are a given), but he goes beyond them, managing Malayalam, Oriya, and some other languages.
His mother tongue is Marathi, having been born in a family settled in Nachikuppam. His forefathers had been part of Sambhaji's army that traveled down South.
He regaled me with stories of the setting up of Infosys Mysore DC and a scene straight out of the movies when he left (the DC).
The best part about him is that he has a heart of gold.
Note: Photo taken by one of his friends, not me, probably at Infosys Mysore DC.

Mother and Child with a White Cat: Folio from a Jahangir Album

This artwork is part of Wonder of the Age: Master Painters of India, 1100–1900.
This anonymous work has been attributed by Beach to Manohar and by Welch, Brand and Lowry, and Okada to Basawan. The chromatic subtlety, beautifully realized drapery, and sophisticated handling of linear perspective are worthy of both these artists. The subject matter clearly is inspired by multiple European models; the woman’s windswept drapery echoes that of the Pietas Regia depicted on the second frontispiece of the Royal Polyglot Bible, which was adapted to a reclining nursing posture, hence prompting the Virgin and Child identification. The four-cartouche inscription has no overt Christian associations, making this identification tenuous, although such imagery is undoubtedly embedded in this composition’s multifarious sources.

A Região de Bruxelas-Capital é uma das três regiões que compõem a Bélgica - ao lado da Valônia e de Flandres . Dispõe dum território relativamente pequeno (161 km²), inteiramente urbanizado. Tem mais de um milhão de habitantes.
Esta cidade-região oficialmente bilingüe é habitada por uma maioria de belgas francófonos. 85 a 90% dos habitantes falam francês, enquanto 33% falam outras línguas. Os belgas flamengos representam de 10 a 15% da população e falam neerlandês.
A região compõe-se de 19 comunas autónomas, comparáveis em número de habitantes aos 20 arrondissements parisienses mas sem um burgomestre "comum" ao conjunto.
Devido à presença no seu território de numerosas instituições internacionais, concentra um importante contingente de habitantes originários dos outros Estados-Membros da União Europeia. A estes acrescentam-se comunidades de migrantes originários não apenas das antigas colónias belgas (República Democrática do Congo (RDC), Ruanda e Burundi, da África subsariana) mas também do Magrebe (nomeadamente de Marrocos), da Turquia, da América, da Ásia (Irão, Paquistão...), fazendo da Região um conjunto cosmopolita e multi-étnico. Os imigrantes que não sejam já francófonos procuram geralmente aprender o francês aquando da instalação a fim de se integrarem o melhor possível na sociedade bruxelense.
