I am advised today to remain close to the hotel due to possible unrest - This is linked to a long running judgement due for release today. I had planned to go to Sarnath, but due to the unofficial cerfew i instead wandered around the old city along the main thoroughfare to the Ghats. It was busy with all number of people and a few western tourists and i return to the hotel for lunch settling in for an afternoon of film watching 0_0 Although while sitting watching 'Angels and Demons' a monkey - yes a monkey came and sat on the window sill and took and interest!!
A half page appeal for calm from the Indian Prime Minister was printed in the Times paper this morning and the hope is that the judegment goes without incident.
Attached are a few more images of the main street in the Old city showing a contrast between the old and new as the city moves towards modernisation...
