-she was a dancing girl dilkasha bai who lived in her lal haveli in lucknow , it was famous that her admirer a romantic nawab bought it for when she was just being introduced to the gatherings for the first time, but he was not fated to enjoy her company and died and since she lived alone in that haveli where lucknawi culture still was preserved in her style of talking walking and moving , in her mid thirties she looked younger almost half her age , arranging mushairas and poetic gatherings for the upcoming and established poets and cultural events for the intellectuals , it was considered an honour to attend her prestigious gatherings where distinguished writers and litterateurs only arrived and the best of all poetry of the day was finally sung by dilkasha on a formal yet warm note not suggestive not inviting , not enticing yet so attractive her presence all would be charmed and return the next day
