The Hospital is "Hindu Rao" Hospital, and the place is "Bada Hindu Rao". Hindu Rao was a king. "Bada" or "Bara" is a place where you keep animals, in this case elephants. So that was the place. Delhi Govt in sixtees decided to name the Hospital in the King's memory. Incidently there is a beautiful and artistic "Mutiny Memorial" called Jit Garh, and a Ashoka Edict very close to the hospital. There was no place to park the vehicle there this time I went. Did you hear about the Jalebiwala outside Dariba in Chandni Chowk? Keep showing Delhi to people. Very nostalgic for oldies. Good luck. Hemanshu,
