enjoying myself

Wah Taj !!

yes !!! we made it this weekend. i had lamented in the last post that generally our plan go haywire. but this time we did manage to break out of the vicious circle which our companies hv forced us to be in. we went to agra and fatehpur sikri.


enough hv been written abt Taj by a no of people and more will continue to write on it. But words fail to describe the feelings which i experienced there. for some it is symbol of eternal love. fr others it is an emblem of patience, pain, conviction, love and passion. taking over 22 yrs to build this monument............ with arnd 20k workers involved fr the same.......... the architect was specially called from Iran fr this purpose....... and best objects were imported from all over the world.


we were pretty mesmerised by the view in the sunset but nothing can beat the view we saw during the sunrise next day. with a cool breeze blowing across the monument, we stood there just adoring the beauty in silence. Its curving, gently swelling dome and the square base upon which its rests so lightly is a familiar image from hundreds of brochures and travel books. Renowned for its architectural magnificence and aesthetic beauty, no wonder, it is invariably included in the list of the world's foremost wonders.


i m not a kind of person who believe a lot in this mushy-mushy chatter abt 'pyar', 'Ishq' n 'mohabbat' but after visiting these kind of places u certainly get a different kind of feelings. i m describing my feelings thru a 'sher' i heard somewhere............


'Ishq ke chiragon ka har taraf Ujala hai
Ishq mil gaya jise samjho wo kismet wala hai'
