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)

Just for the record: No comment from a visitor to this blog has been removed. At one time I, the author, faced a peculiar problem, where the log in at the top right hand corner appeared only after putting a comment, even just a punctuation mark. So I would then delete it not realizing that evidence of the fact never goes away. George Shepherd
