Gwalior Fort and Beyond

 I visited Gwalior Fort for the first time, among other things. Thanks to some work at the Prestige Institute there. Gwalior is a historic city, and a nice place to spend some time in. By road, also crossed Shivpuri, the hometown of Manuja Seth, a former student I met at NMIMS Bangalore. Also met one of my fb friends, Indira Sharma, who is a faculty member in the HR/OB area at Prestige. She and us (my colleagues Dr. Chandrashekhar and Dr. Sohni Roy) went around the city in some spare time we had. The Director, Dr. Nishant Joshi, took good care of us too.

The Wall of Kejri

There are all kinds of walls. Mythical, historical, religious, virtual, ....

According to Wikipedia, Hadrian's Wall 'was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain, begun in AD 122 during the rule of emperor Hadrian'.

The Great Wall of China is a historic wall, and you can take a walk, albeit a long one, on some parts of it. We saw some of it in Chandni Chowk to China, the film with two Deepikas.

There is a sacred wall called the Western Wall in Jerusalem, sometimes called the Wailing Wall.

I have a wall (or two) of brick and mortar and also one that has neither brick nor mortar- and you probably do too- on facebook.

Then there are political walls- Kejri is one of those!
