2004.last sunday. much money has come in to the humayun's tomb
complex from the aga khan trust over the past few years. part of the
money has presumably spent on the hi-tech entry turnstiles with
magnetic strip cards, operated manually, by the security guards. and the
computerised ticketing. inside, there are notices that warn you not to
sit on the grass, and there are many guards patrolling to ensure that
you do not. and last sunday, i noticed that there were men, in plain
clothes, noting down the number of each and every vehicle which was
parking at Humayun's Tomb.
