Couple of days back, I passed by Tuglakabad. The fort where Tuglak created his capital and could not use, in ruins. Like a person's shattered dreams. It also earned him a lot of bad name for hasty decision making, lack of planning etc. And now, the stones stand against the gray sky and stare back down at you as you pass. Tuglak must be still wandering in the fort at night. He may be standing on top of it as pale as the moon above him, looking down at the stream of lights. Will there be regret in his eyes? Is it the star reflecting off his eyes or is it tears? The current beneath hardly care.
Further up, Kutub-Minar is standing the test of time. When I was returning, I could see some lights inside there.
