Mangal, Mangal, Mangal, Mangal...

This piece about Meerut which I had written a few months ago was published in the August edition of Outlook Traveler. Incidentally, the movie about Mangal Pandey , whose men put a bullet through through the clock tower of the church I was in, thereby freezing the time the uprising/rising/mutiny/war of independence began, will be out in a week's time.
