New ideas at work
Monday Dec 13, 2010
There seems to be some new ideas at work at the lake. I was surprised to find a few metres of the drain being built had been dug up and what looks like another outlet being dug accross the lake and, maybe straight into the Gomti????

The Merry Weather!
Sunday morning marked the end of the annual Lucknow festival with the flower exhibition at the Botanical Gardens, the Tonga/kharkara race starting from the Babu Stadium and ending at the Hardinge Bridge, commonly know as the Pucca Pul, the vintage car rally from the Christ Church gas station and ending in the Cantonment at the Mohammad Bagh Club going via the newly developed area of Gomtinagar and shooting competition at the Police Lines. The car rally and tonga race drew a large crowd at least to the starting points.

Re: Concretizing!
| Thanks George, Your photographs make me feel close to the works taking place around the Lart. If the intention is to create a lake around the Lart and a treed park on the vacant land as suggested by Vice-Chairman LDA Mukesh Meshram the outlook from the parapet above the library will be stunning. I know there are many old boys that feel nostalgic about the way the grounds were in the 50's and 60's. However when I look at the changes that have taken place in Lucknow in the 50 odd years since I have been away I can see why there are moves to make more use of the land that surrounds the Martiniere. If this land can be, as suggested, be set aside as Public Open Space to be used by the citizens of Lucknow rather than for commercial and residential purposes I am sure our founder will be well pleased. Regards, Roley. -------Original Message------- |
