  The Taj Mahal: A Dawn of Wonder and Reflection What can I possibly say about the Taj Mahal that hasn’t already been said? No words, no photographs, no stories can truly capture the essence of this architectural masterpiece. It’s one of those rare places that transcends description, leaving you in silent awe as you stand before its grandeur. Our day began in the predawn darkness, with a 5:45 AM departure from the hotel. By 5:55 AM, we were at the gates of the Taj Mahal, the air crisp and tinged with anticipation. A short 500-metre walk brought us to the entrance, where a queue had already formed. The gates open half an hour before sunrise, and thankfully, we didn’t have to wait long before we were ushered in, stepping into a world that felt almost surreal. Our guide, Alok—a man who seems to hold the entire history of India in his mind—gave us a brief but captivating history of the Taj Mahal. We learned about the love story behind its creation, the painstaking craftsmanship, and th...

A Whirlwind Day: From Delhi to Jaipur’s Jewels Traveling is an adventure, and sometimes that adventure comes with a few unexpected twists. Last night was one of those moments. Around midnight, Delhi belly decided to make an unwelcome appearance. Thankfully, I had some Lomotil on hand, which worked its magic and saved the night. But just as I was starting to feel better, another challenge arose. A group on our floor arrived around 12:30 AM, and from the sound of it, they were ready to party. The TV blared, voices echoed through the halls, and the festivities continued until about 3:30 AM. Exhausted and desperate for sleep, I later found out at breakfast that one of our tour group members had called reception just after 3:00 AM to complain. That’s when the noise finally stopped. Thank goodness for small mercies! The alarm buzzed at 5:15 AM, and it was time to drag myself out of bed for a quick shower and to pack up. Our bags needed to be outside our doors by...

A Day in Delhi: History, Spirituality, and a Lucky Break Our day began bright and early at 6:15 AM. After a quick shower and a hearty breakfast of Glenn’s favourite—bacon and eggs—we fuelled up for a full day of exploring Delhi. I grabbed some fresh cut fruit to snack on during the bus ride, knowing we’d need the energy for the packed itinerary ahead.   Our first stop was supposed to be the iconic Red Fort, but we were disappointed to find out it was closed for a month-long restoration. Instead, we settled for a drive-by glimpse of this magnificent structure. The Red Fort, built by the same Mughal emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan, is steeped in history. After the death of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, Shah Jahan was so heartbroken that he left Agra, moved to Delhi, and built both the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India.   Speaking of the Jama Masjid, our next stop was this breathtaking mosque. Visiting required a bit of prepa...
