My Agra related entry has not been completed because of my 103 F temperature. On the plus side, the heat here means no blankets or supplementary clothing is required here to stave off the fever chills. I aim to be back with you tomorrow evening reporting on Agra and my meeting with Romila Thapar, as well as a bunch of photos. Trust me, you would prefer not to read the Lovecraftian character this illness has given my writing.
A final question: How amateur-hour is it to ask a respected historian in your field to take a photo with you?
Now playing: Wasting illnesses, though slight, truly belong to the Gothic. In this vein, I offer you Mercyful Fate at 1983's Dynamo Festival. The elegy is aptly titled, "Curse of the Pharaohs." Given voice by the unfadeable King Diamond, a treat for your ears and your immune systems; I feel better already: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nwvKIOUCEeI&mode=related&search=

I am glad you are not so professional as to have lost your boyish glee and fervor for iconic historians. ALso glad that your fever is declining and your writing will be renewed. And I am glad that you do not advocate three generation living and will be returning your room to its rightful owners before having progeny.
