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)
These two were dear friends of ours -- and their deaths left us shocked and bereaved. The last time we visited Lucknow in 2003 was for their daughter's wedding. Wanted to visit Jason's grave that time, but there was no time, as we were only there for 48 hours. I feel that I've visited the graves of both these beloved people now. Thank you.
