Fort.....gone

It used  to be a handsome circular fort ......Chikkajala...in those days, never found out whose it was......then came the new Airport. Land acquired for highway widening included the outer walls of this fort . Part ofit was pulled down. 

Heritage lovers woke up and made a noise. Journos dug up some background on it. 

Turned out to be Private Property. A palegara's . Passed down to present family. 

Too huge and unwieldly to be preserved by present generation. Ofcourse it earned some cash when let out for movie shootings. But that wouldbe nothing compared  to the sky high real eastate value today. 

Looks dreamy and romantic ofcourse. But......it will disappear soon. Heritage lovers' laments cannot help maintain it.
