Jai Shiva Shankar,
So what is the Shiva Mahimna Strotam? Well its written by Pushpadant and it describes the greatness of Lord Shiva.
How did it come about? Pushpadanta was a Gandharva. Minstrel in the court of Lord Indradev. Pushpadanta was a devotee of Lord Shiva as well as a lover of flowers. He used to steal delicate and fragrant flowers from the garden of the great Shaiva King of Kashi, Chitraratha. As a result, King Chitraratha was not able to offer flowers to the great Lord Shiva himself and the puja of the great devotee King was hampered. King Chitrarath tried to find the thief but was not successful because as a Gandharva Pushpadanta was invisible by his magical powers. One day to catch the thief, the King spread sacred Bilwa leaves (nirmalya), which are extremely dear to Shiva, in his garden. Pushpadanta while stealing the flowers in the garden trod on the Bilwa leaves and invited Lord Shivas wrath. Cursed by the Lord to eternal ignominy, Gandarva Pushpadanta lost all his divine powers. Pushpadanta forgot the mantra for becoming invisible and not only that but he forgot all other knowledge he had at that time when he was on those Bilwa leaves.
In order to seek absolution and please Lord Shiva, Pushpadanta created a stotram (song of praise) in which he elaborated at length upon Shiva's greatness. The penitent Gandharva, who himself was a great devotee of the great Lord, composed a great prayer in chaste and lyrical Sanskrit and offered that to the Lord. Propitiated and pleased with the melodious and rhythmic composition, the Lord Shiva, Ashutosh by another name, forgave the repentant Gandharva Pushpadanta and restored his powers and well-being.

THE NAMING OF "OUTRAM LANE",DELHI -NEAR DELHI UNIVERSITY AND ARMY DRDO.
Shatranj Ke Khilari ( 3-10-1977 ) -Lt.Gen.Sir James Outram-(29 January 1803 -- 11 March 1863)
Lieutenant General Sir James Outram, 1st Baronet GCB KSI (29 January 1803 -- 11 March 1863)

Wonderfull Classical Song by Birju Maharaj. Excelent Performance by Saswati Sen.
This song is from Shatranj ke Khilari directed by Satyajit Ray.
http://www.imdb.c...
Wazed Ali Shah is the ruler of one of the last independent kingdoms of India. The British, intent on controlling this rich country, have sent general Outram on a secret mission to clear the way for an annexation. While pressure is mounting amidst intrigue and political manoeuvres, Ali Shah composes poems and listens to music, secluded in his palace. The court is of no help, as exemplified by nobles Mir and Mirza, who, ignoring the situation of their country and all their duties towards their families, spend their days playing endless parties of chess.
Circa British rule in India, two slightly eccentric noblemen in India, indulge in chess, day and night, without any regard to the change in the situation, personal life, and the eminent threat of the British taking over their region, becoming a harsh reality. Even when they are forced to leave their comfortable homes, they continue to play chess in the mosquito-ridden outdoors, with two loaded pistols, ready to oppose the British, or even themselves, if need be.
