In Lucknow, as in other parts of the world, graves mean little to some people, but a search on the internet proves otherwise! What one will find on this blog isn't even 'a drop in the vast ocean' of tears that would have been shed if it were possible to calculate. The names, the sad poetry, quotes and expression of grief of the loved ones all being ground to dust. "...We always say that the history of a parish is in its graveyards..."

The scripted stone shown in above picture is of old graveyard, some 2 Kilometers from Nainital (formerly known as Nynee Tal), Uttarakhand. Ann Bremner was among many victims who died of heavy landslide of China Peak (also known as Naina Peak) in Nainital in 1969, almost 30 years after the city was discovered. All dead bodies was buried in this graveyard.
In course of time the above graveyard was ruined by uncivilised nearby people. At present, this graveyard is almost entirely ruined. I very much regret for this.

I remember, in my childhood (some 35 years back), i visited this graveyard with few of my family member. There were numbers of graves with beautiful sculptors on them.

I am a hindu but once with my two brothers we did light candles on all graves. One of the grave was of 5 year old kid. I feel sad for this
