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 we leave behind is not
What is engraved in stone monuments,
But what is woven into the lives of others
Your wise ways have strengthened us
By which we now live"
(Blogger: Worked for the Income Tax Dept.
He was a regular Bridge player at the Lucknow
Club. I only got to meet him when he dropped by seeking help in
school admissions sometime in the mid 1990's when my father
was still alive. It was then that I came to know that they had be friends in their
youth and that a brother of Mr Rodericks' had drowned in the Gomti while
swimming. That would have been in their young days.)
