My Visit To The Taj Mahal


I remember being in Agra way back in 1985 on a marketing trip. Got laid down with a  gastrointestinal problem. A good Samaritan took me to a doctor who injected some antibiotics into me.

I had to leave for Jaipur by 4 pm.
Burning with fever, still I entered the sanctum of The Taj Mabal and beheld it's beauty on a hot afternoon. 

I was alone. Could not make a detailed visit of this splendid monument to love. Nor could I see it in  moonlight.

Yet despite the burning eyes and debilitating effects of antibiotics i went and paid my respects to the lovers.

Had I left Agra without seeing the Taj Mahal I would never have forgiven myself for it
