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..."

With the rainy season comes long grass and shrubs
that conceal most of the cemetery. Visitors to this
grave would have had a path cleared on request.

WHO DIED FEBRUARY 4TH 1943
AGED 70 YEARS

Janet Bonarjee's daughter was the poet Dorothy Bonarjee. I am a friend of Sheela Bonarjee, who is Janet's granddaughter. AW
