An ode to the Taj Mahal






"What is love, I do not know. But that by its power, a king gave away his throne".

So apt. So touching. I remember the first time I visited the Taj Mahal, on the marble steps of the tomb a friend recited a few lines which have remained etched in my memory....

"Thousand years from now
When I shall be all but dust and sand,
At the sound of your voice
I will rise again."

Rabindranath Tagore has described Taj as a tear drop on the cheeks of time...God bless their true love
