Any mention of Lucknow conjures up images of a unique way of life practised for almost ninety years in Avadh. It is a journey back in time to the world of Nawab Asafudaula and Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, and to the city of Begum Hazrat Mahal, Mir, Anis and of Majaz Lakhnawi. What one can most associate with Lucknow is the reputation it has as the refuge of countless Urdu poets. And, here, Mehru Jaffer attempts to chronicle just that. Her captivating and vividly visual account of Lucknow’s romance with its classical Urdu poets magically transports us to the mehfils of Mir and Anis. From the Love Lanes of Lucknow celebrates the poetry of the Avadh region of India like never before, transporting its readers to a land that became the focal point of an unparalleled cultural renaissance.

Born and brought up in Lucknow, Mehru Jaffer taught Islam in South Asia at Webster University and University of Vienna, Austria. During her three-decade stay in Europe, Mehru reported for BBC News in Hindi, and wrote features for leading Indian newspapers like the Indian Express, Hindustan Times and the Telegraph. She has covered South Asian affairs for the leading Austrian magazine Profil. An alumnus of Lucknow University, Mehru’s first job was with the daily newspaper founded in Prayagraj in 1865, the Pioneer. She was a reporter at India Today before moving to Europe. While in Vienna, Austria, Mehru made a 50-minute documentary film on the European fans of Bollywood heart-throb Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) called Mr Khan Vienna Loves You.
