The Taj Mahal, From Our Room

06 Jan 2011 171
We were rapt to get a room with a view. They said on the phone you could see the Taj, but until you are in the room, you speculate. “Surely, at that price, it means you need to be standinga on the toilet or something.” Nope, could see it from bed!

Morning Taj, Emerging From The Mist

From the gate, there was nothing to see. You could have been standing on a Scottish moor, the mist was so thick. At the end of the famous watercourse in front, still nothing. But as we got nearer, the form of the Taj emerged from a dark shadow and took shape. It was a fraction eerie. It was very surreal. It was certainly not how we expected to see the Taj that morning!

A Doorway In Agra Fort

Do you think anyone would notice if the doors went missing? Would we really build our own house just so we could incorporate them? These questions are yet to be answered!
