World Records

India must be the world record holder for the most number of citizens holding Guinness Book of World Record titles. The guy with the longest fingernails in the world hails from India. So does the guy who has given the longest lecture (his mother finally pulled him away from the podium when he started getting delirious. I read about this in the local newspaper). The man who has watched t.v. continuously for the longest period of time? Yep. From India. The tour guide pointed out another superlative: Indian is home to the oldest rock … in the world. It’s in Lal Bagh Gardens. … And we walked on it.

Lal Bagh Gardens is also home to beautiful flowers,

magnificent trees,

and friendly people... (....very friendly).

We had a good time strolling along the twists and turns. I saw a lady selling corn on the cob, cooked at the curbside over a portable charcoal bucket. Just like Maamoura.
