Nature continuously expresses itself with unconditional love, light, sound and color!

(if you do not have enough time to read the below lines…it’s OK. But don’t miss to follow the link to watch the mind blowing panaromic view of Tajmahal...!!! enjoyyy...)
Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan, the famous mughal king for his favourite wife Mumtaz as her final resting place. His love for his wife was deeply rooted in this awesome monument. It is indeed fascinating.
Built of marble with 4 perfect symmetrical minarets leaning slightly away from the main monument for factor of quake, it took 22 years (1630-1652) of hard labour. Story had it that Shah Jahah ordered that coins be thrown around the site to lure thousands of workers to work on this piece of life art. Interior walls have inlay of semi-precious stones of ruby, sapphire, pearls, just to name a few.
The facade of the arch facing the monument are verses of the Holy Koran inscribed on it, magnificient enough that all the wordings are sized the same, from any directions. At the top of the arch are 22 small domes, signifying the number of years the monument took to build.
Surrounding the main monument are beautiful parks with water. A masterpiece of symmetry, as if floating in the air when view from a distance.
Built by the Persian architect, Ustad Isa, the Taj Mahal is on the bank of the Yamuna River. It can be seen like a mirage from the Agra Fort where Shah Jahan was imprisoned here by his very own son, Aurangzeb. Shah Jahan spent the last eight years of his life at the Fort staring at his beautiful beloved, Taj Mahal. History had it that the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal is under the monument. Subsequently his son also erected Shah Jahan's tomb next to his wife.
Taj Mahal built on a marble platform stands above a sandstone and the dome has a diameter of 60 feet and height of 80 feet.
Taj Mahal is indeed a living art of a husband’ s love for his wife and provides such a flavor one cannot find elsewhere. It makes one want to come back for more; sunrise and sunset at the Taj throws a different spectrum!

Recover your credibility

Friends,

At many instances, most of us make a commitment to others that to those they may be within our family or friends or even the fellow colleagues at our work place. And then we take light or don’t really bother for that and finally fail to honor the commitment. These things may even like inability to quickly return their phone calls, to be on time to meet with them, or to get ready on time when we are going for family outings are a few of the circumstances where we failed to keep our word. This will definitely cause some disappointment to the person other side that we have committed but couldn’t honor.
Sometimes this happens to us also. This is what Credibility gap.
