Taj at Night
Kartikey Sehgal
The Taj Mahal hotel is lonesome at night. The Gateway of India is sealed. Only gunmen patrol the area. Stray visitors are asked to move away quickly.
The lonesome Taj does not reflect the resplendent mood described in newspapers and magazines, when the 105 years old luxurious hotel re-started its services.
The gunmen are still and wary. They ask me to not go near the Gateway and to hurry with my walk along the area.
