Ponder on the imposing solemnity of the Flagstaff Tower, on the British pickets hidden away in the foliage, on the ruins of the Chauburja—remnants of an age of violence in what is now a very peaceful place.

Balance out all the good your walk has done for you with meetha samosas at the Gwyer Hall canteen next door.
