On the outside of the city of Karnal,
Opposite the Bull Complex of NDRI,
Situated is its Christian cemetery...
Deserted it seems away from the city,
No attendants stay at its rusted gates,
Beyond its boundary an eerie silence..
Once in a blue moon it is thronged by,
Many mourners clad in formal black,
But silenced afterwards the coffin dug 6' deep.

But silenced afterwards the coffin dug 6' deep.
The Christian cemetery at north of Karnal, a primarily Hindu city in the northern state Haryana of India, looks deserted - eerily so.
