Dil Chori Sadda Ho Gaya….
The gate opened…. A lady in full grace and beauty of Bengal came out…. Walked towards memorial gate, took some pics of memorial from outside and then… Suddenly walked towards me and asked in a soothing and flattering voice “Can you please take my picture with memorial as background”?

Hurdles in Trip
