Had a free evening, and so a few of us hopped in a rickshaw and headed for the Red Fort Region... Also visited the big mosque, and mingled with the seething masses emerging from evening prayer.... A sliver moon was setting over the domes and minarets, and the man at the gate would absolutely NOT let us in. "Please read sign kind sir. Mosque closing time is now." But each time we were chatting with him, 5 other folks would slip around him and enter. So we tried a few more times, and he always caught us! At dark the fireworks began, and went on and on and on for a couple of hours! Happy 60th year of Independence to India!
