Are war memorials places of homage? Or are they tourist spots? Are they built to remember the thousands of soldiers who died defending us while we were arguing American Idol? Or are they just spots for couples to hang out, children to eat cotton candy? Is a boat ride in front of India Gate justified? Is swimming in front of it justified? If you are in Delhi, go see India Gate in the late afternoon. You'll have a much better picture.

Oho! Ye India hai baby. Any free space is immediately usurped by the people. That doesn't mean that people don't respect those who lost their lives there.
Atleast I do. But I still like the chuski and cotton candy and walking in the lawns.
i have been to war memorials.. in college tours.. treated them as tourist spots then.. have to go there alone and then ill probably understand the seriousness of the situation
oo! I like your blog.
Okay, sorry that was random!
Hey :)
Loved this post. Have been there like in Bombay and Delhi but never treated it like a tourist spot.
But sucks when people do it :(
