Its 17thDec 2010.
Early Morning,
And I am going to pen down something I have believed for years,something which every other person I meet thinks is weird.
Well,to begin with when I say TajMahal..a vague image appears that values love ,adores it.Agreeing to the fact that Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful monuments in the history of India and has made India a renowned name.Not going deep into the history,I perhaps think we all know that.
The monument made by an emperor in the memory of his dead wife--yes..thats it-I suppose.But, more or less it's just another showy,pompous Graveyard!!Isn't it??Yes it is a beautiful Graveyard with a blackened History.
And to add to the beauty of it,we have lot many devastating acts put together.
I know people reading this might be wondering--What the hell am I saying.As a matter of fact, since time immemorial and even today--Taj Mahal seems a creepy word.I really have never understood the fact that how can people appreciate the act of the Mughal Emperor who is responsible for the crippled life of 20,000 labours who might have worked for him day and night.Where's the gratitude?Where's the appreciation?
Where's the reward?Have that so called "lover of the Millenium" ever thought what might happen to those 20,000 families who would be ruined?? I think -"No".He was too considerate over the dead wife's love that anyone else life didnt matter that much.
Anyone who's just reading it, kindly give it a thought--I wonder and ponder time and again as I thought love is selfless...its proven to be an obsession here :(
So ,the next time when you hear Taj Mahal-Is it still the monument of love. Is it ,Really??
And if it is then THINK AGAIN!!!

Personally, I still haven't seen the Taj Mahal (yes shame on me, being an Indian I haven't seen one of the wonders of the world right here in my country blah blah) but I've never got a chance to travel north.
Anyway, I never thought too much about the Taj Mahal anyway, maybe cause I haven't seen it yet.
I've always looked onto the topic of slave labor and questioned gratitude there. It's good that the age is gone.
I agree with you, you have a valid point but dear your gonna start a controversy soon :P
Tread carefully :P
Anyway this monument should SO be included in this song:

Glad to read your thoughts :)
Keep expressing!
Well...thanx that u agreed..
but its not about controversy..i appreciate the beauty created over there...I just dont appreciate the love...Somewhere deep down I fee after working for so many yrs passionately results in ruining up you as a whole..doesnt really gives me a gud vibe..And TajMahal seems an example of using power negatively..
hey chitranshi...its a nyc critical angle on one f the blind faiths f this wrld...nicely put up...i agree totally to u.u hv surely made a good n bold point...keep expressing ur inner voice...:):)
Thanx Ritu...I m glad u agree..Actually its a bit difficult to criticize one of our own --things..
but its the reality.. :)
