A visit to Agra

I meant to share this long time back but, as usual, my laziness got the better of me. I kept telling my self to do it ASAP and here it is, finally..whew!!

There's a saying - If you stay in New York for a week, you will see everything. If you stay for a month, you will see some thing (place), and if you stay for a year, you will not see anything.

The same thing goes for me as well, I guess. After staying in Delhi for 5 yrs, I finally managed to see the great Taj Mahal and oh, it is so so sooo beautiful.

We went in a tour bus that came to pick us up. The journey was somehow tiring as it took 5 hrs or more to reach Agra.

Once we reached there, the first stop was at Agra Fort.

Whenever I see an ancient building/fort, the one thing that always comes to my mind is "How safe these/this place will be if there is an earthquake (touch wood)"....

I've always admired the laborers and the architects during those days when looked at the magnificent forts. How hard these people have to work to built it as those days they do not have the modern technology. Not to forget, the emperor or the king who could build it..how wealth they would be during those days.



The interior decoration is just so wonderful, and beautiful. I don't know what to say much but I can tell that they were really really advanced in architecture.


This place gave such a nice angle. This idea was given by the photographers swarming around - offering you to take your pictures for a price and give you the developed photos.


After this, our next stop was finally to the Taj Mahal.

I have seen and read about The Taj Mahal several times and always tell myself that it is a "must see". As we entered the gate, we were full of excitement and the moment I saw it, I was lost for words. It was so beautiful and enchanting. I stood still for sometime admiring the beauty and kept on saying "it's soooo beautiful,,it's wonderful..." on and on .

Then, back to the world, the first picture I captured of the Taj Mahal..not the best in the world but it's ..quite beautiful..not bad






This is where the late Princess Di sat when she the Taj Mahal. This seat was a Hot Seat and you have to fight to be able to take a snap..lolzz..and you don't even have the time to focus on the angel..the most important thing is that you sit there and took a photo..


After this, we moved the two other temples - where Lord Krishna was born and the other where he played as a child.

There was a Hindu march (that's how I call it) near the temple where Lord Krishna used to play as a child. I captured a few pictures of that march and here is one.


Though how we go is quite convenient, I would suggest people not to take the tour bus as it takes too much and and most important - if you want to see only the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal. After visiting all the places and went home, we reached back home at 2:00 AM.

No next time or if you want to see the two mentioned place only, here is the best option:

1. Take train from Del to Agra (3hrs and even AC Chair costs around Rs. 300)

2. Hire a taxi to take you to Agra Fort and The Taj Mahal (if you are in group, you can contribute) or a bus (my guess is there will be bus)

3. Take a train back to Del (3 hrs)

This way, time is less consuming as you will used up only 6hrs Vs 10 hrs journey (to and fro).

And I simply must add the snap of our guide who couldn't stop smiling after I clicked this:

How well do you know yourself?

There was a girl. She was famous for her unkempt apartment. If you entered the apartment, you will see unmade bed, unswept floor (who know for how long), wrappers lying around, clothes everywhere etc. Adopted stray dogs which create more mess as her apartment was filled with new and dried craps that were covered with newspapers.

One fine day, she hired a maid who now kept the house tidy. Whoever entered the house now made a comment "The house is so clean, you can actually live now".

After this, she would proudly day "I cannot stand dirty house. I told my maid that everything should be spick and span".

Then, one of her friends left her house in a mess one day with clothes lying around. She was the first to make this comment "How could she be so untity, I can't stand it". It was a laugh for those who knew her before.

There was a boy who drinks quite heavily. When asked why he drank so much, he answered "I have an insomnia and this is the reason why I drink a lot so that I may fall asleep. But this did not help, I still cannot sleep, no matter how much I drink" and then after a few minutes, you can hear him snore. :)

What the ......

My system time says its 8th Feb 2010 but my very recently updated blog still show 7th Feb, 2010 and I was like..WTF.
Thinking that it was to do with my gmail setting, I checked but found out it wasn't so. (dumb of me to think as blogspot could be associated with third party email account)
Then I go to the settings and found out that it was set to Pacific Standard Times..hehehe

And then....

Venue: PnP
Occasion: Friend's B'Day

Thanks to Information Technology, I was able to go to the club and enjoy myself while I was to be at work :) ... one SMS saved me...hehe. It was a great experience.

All together, we were 3 guys and 3 girls. When we reached the venue, we saw handsome-well-dressed-clean-great car guys but who do not even flick an eye to us...not that we are that :D.

The best thing was that you don't see the hungry-sex starved-dirty-cheap eyes checking you out. The ironic part was that the guys were quite cool, decent etc etc but they were just not into girls..ouch!

In most discs here in Delhi, it's a free entry for girls but not here. When I bring this up, one of my friends replied, "C'mon, it's a gay club...there should be no difference between a girl and a guy" and we laughed it off.

The main drawback was the bi-sexual ones who tried to hit on you. C'mon, it was a gay club and the male were suppose to be gay..interested in guys only. One of my friends and I were so pissed off with this guy and then I finally said "Stop talking to me and my grilfriend" hoping that that would brushed him off. But, this stupid-ugly-fellow still come very strong..trying to make conversation with us..offerring drinks. Then he was gone for a minute or two then came back with a story that he is a journalist and wants us to share our story - the lesbian life....he was such a pain in the A**.

On the other news.. :P

I have been blessed with straight hair and been carrying it for a very long time. As a child I always wanted to keep my hair long which my mother would never agreed to. Then when I finally reached my teen, I stopped listening and kept my hair long and straight ever since.

The other day, a beautician fron Aizawl came and decided to make some changes.

This is the new hair do in the making --------->

As per him, we have to leave it for 40 mins. After 40 mins, it was not enough so we leave it for another 15 mins...I think it was for full 1 hour then it was ready.

<------------The new hairdo :)

and then.........

............and then..........

...then....

And this is how I look like...hahaha...and yes, with "my" hair dresser.

Where I have been

I have been away from this blg world for a month. I have not bothered to update my own blog nor do I bother to read others'. I guess I have been lazy and yes, been busy at work. Well...I have been feeding the deers...hehe.

I have been taking a walk at Deer Park, Safdarjung, quite reqularly these days and feeding the deers was one of the fun part. Now, I saved all the wasted green vegetables so that I can feed them. Though the amount of food I bring to them is very less, but it's fun to see them eating heartily...and the crunching sound they made is jsut beautiful. I don't know how to explain this but I just love the sound.

I took this specially for my dear cousin, J, who, most probably concentrated on the meat too much, never see a peacock at the park :D


This park is quiet huge and so I once went to the other side that I never reached. Then I saw this place

On Friday the 13th, I saw a peacock in its full grace and I felt so fortunate. I always wanted to see them with my naken eyes and luck was on my side.

When I first saw it, its back was at my side then I waited patiently and quite nervous too, afraid that I would scare him and let the tails down. Then I hold my breath, waited when it finally turned slowly

Fearing that it would keep the tail down once I caught his attention, I took this

But he proved me wrong as he was standing there, and then turned very slowly.

I promised that I will set my phone cam in a good mode the next time I come across something so beautiful. I am not satisfied with this photoes either.
