The Places That Spoke Back

  Dear Traveller, Yes, you! The one reading this on your cracked phone screen while waiting for chai at some half forgotten railway platform. Or maybe you’re scrolling while slouched in an office chair, plotting your next escape between deadlines. Doesn’t matter. We know who you are. We’ve seen you. Dragging your dusty backpack over cobbled stones, chasing sunrises through Mughal arches, tiptoeing through echoing temples, falling in love with crumbling walls, and occasionally whining, “Yaar, sab kuch toh same lag raha hai.” Yes, we heard that. Loud and clear. And still, we welcome you. We always have. Today, on World Heritage Day, we yes, all of us heritage sites of India decided to write you, because you, dear traveller, have left your footprints (and sometimes plastic wrappers) across our courtyards, forts, caves, and temples. So, traveller... sit. Wherever you are. Let this be your break between two journeys. We have things to tell you. About us. About you. About what you miss...
