The Lat Oct 20, 2009

The lake remains dry most of the year. The strip of land dividing the lake from the river has narrowed owing to the river level being high. Note there is no wall on the
parapet surrounding the Lat.

The Lat

The Gomti river level was high for October owing to the late rain we had this year. The good part is that the lake has water. For most of the year, over the last several years, it remains dry. This has allowed vandals to carry away the bricks that formed a parapet. Even the flat stone slopes at the side of the steps, for those who have forgotten, where the croc came up to dry, have been swiped. You may recall Mr Lewis taking a shot at it.

Brain-racking 1948 or 1950 or...

Click on George to see the pic in question. If the little chap is Allan James then the year 1948 is wrong because he is at the most a year older than me and I am July '50 born. How does it matter...
