And the frame of mind when visiting a place also plays an important role in creating impressions. I read some blogs on Tranquebar which were glowing accounts of first-time visitors to the place that i find drab today !YOSEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364914380063474591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-36002936986989272952009-01-21T21:36:00.000+05:302009-01-21T21:36:00.000+05:30The story is the same for many of our old historic...The story is the same for many of our old historical and religious spots.That is why I am scared to go back to Rishikesh,where I grew up.In our overcrowded country, the demands of the living present,usually overpower the dead past.Along with the place ,we too change with time,and so each successive visit,results in different perceptions.Rwitoja Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364314064124051445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-2762113994653955182009-01-19T13:26:00.000+05:302009-01-19T13:26:00.000+05:30It has been atleast 8 yrs since I visited the fort...It has been atleast 8 yrs since I visited the fort :( too..Ajji keeps inviting us every time I visit India but even a month long vacation seemed short for all these trips :D I agree with you that certain mass of tourists have no sense of pride or respect to our historic monuments....Municipality has forgotten that they have to clean the rubbish bins, this time I got sick of that rubbish which fell everywhere on the road :( anyways 2 people cannot change a big country I suppose :(Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954537572297159735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-77389101783149168482009-01-19T11:46:00.000+05:302009-01-19T11:46:00.000+05:30Chitradurga Fort was lovely when i visited it many...Chitradurga Fort was lovely when i visited it many years ago. I dont even want to know how it fares today ! We cant put the blame entirely on ASI . In many places like Belur Halebid etc. they are doing good maintainance work. I think the problem lies with our people. The tourist-bus masses seem to have no sense of pride or respect for our precious heritage. And the local municipalities are only interested in gate collections. But, LG, in Tranquebar, it is the ASI that has plastered up the Fort with ugly cement ! Thats the only kind of preservation they seem to know !YOSEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364914380063474591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357977015036278715.post-75542399696623118942009-01-19T09:13:00.000+05:302009-01-19T09:13:00.000+05:30I think modernisation has only helped to spoil the...I think modernisation has only helped to spoil the beauty of historic monuments. It is probably everywhere..Chitradurga fort where my childhood holds tons of memories is one such example. alas! I am not sure what is Archeological Survey of India doing?Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954537572297159735noreply@blogger.com
