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..." Passage West (from a blog and book by Jim Murphy)

What is the problem? Why can't I edit my blog? I can't log in. Last night I wrote here and immediately it miraculously opened up, however, later I wanted to edit a post of a year ago and I couldn't!!
Thanks for expressing your appreciation, however, I didn't mean one should do away with the cemetery, but the graves are fast decaying, despite the attention they have had from the ASI. I am a regular visitor to the Residency as well as the other cemeteries in Lucknow as my blog will show. Thank you for the interest! Best wishes George
