		As we know that Gulbadan Begum had received the directive to write the story of Humayun’s rule by Akbar, long after the death of Humayun, it is reasonable to believe that the only available manuscript is an incomplete version of her writing.

		A photograph that I was to see many times again -- of the Begum, draped in a shawl, playing a harmonium and looking up with a delightful smile on her face -- stayed on the screen for a long time.
		Her Begum Akhtar phase is quite different: the singing is mellowed, controlled, disciplined; the taans are less profuse; there is a gravitas that is at odds with the exuberance of the young Akhtari.
		And it is more than just age or maturity: Begum Akhtar's marriage was an exercise in upward social mobility; her later singing follows that pattern.
