The private gate is for the nuns to slip in and out, without notice *wink wink*...gate of h****** if you will. Is it my imagination?
What about your church...strange location ya.........one can glide by the side door from Ms.Jaitleys casa....and if the sermon gets boring....and the local Moira lovelies (how entertaining they are) are too hung over after Saturday night of consumption at a certain b^r in Nachinola & skip the Sunday service....one can slip out the other door and chase after cows in the fields below....lovely (as in scenic) view BTW. Seriously, very likely some baatkar compounded the land and so people would not pass through the property. The usual excuse is the neighbours goats keep eating their lovely croutons! There was a similar situation in a certain village in Salcette....where to get to the local St.Sebastian chapel, the locals used the traditional pathway....which cut across a certain eccentric baatkars land. One sunny Sunday morning, the congregation found the passage was blocked with a brick wall and the way around took another 15 minutes. As in all village disputes, there was the usual threats and someone broke the wall and the baatkar re-built it and finally gave up. Strange ending, the baatkar suffered some misfortunes. Some would say, "deau-an haaas laili..." I wonder if its their imagination?
