News of Gandhi’s death was announced by the All-India Radio at six o’clock on January 30, 1948, and a crowd of several thousands immediately gathered at Birla House. The crowd was tense but subdued, and its mood appeared to be one of stunned sorrow #Gandhi zikredilli.com/f/streets-of-d…

There is nothing like the beauty of new leaves of Kusum tree (Schleichera oleosa) during spring in Delhi. The new leaves that look like flowers seem to give the tree its name Kusum, which means flower in Hindi.
