Standing Tall & High ~~~ Aiming to reach the moon!

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

I clicked this picture at the outskirts of the beautiful and pristine state of Himachal on the way to Paonta Sahib. Our car had developed a snag, and we had to take a forced halt for sometime. While the driver and the gentleman accompanying me put their head in the car's mean machinery to get a clue of what wrong had gone there, I took a stroll along the river side enjoying the nature and the scenic beauty.

The visuals were so appealing that they drew me a little more off the road towards them. (In fact, this part of the Northern India comprising of beautiful and popular state districts like Shimla, Sirmaur, etc. have always enthralled the residents, tourists and the adventurous alike since time and again.)

Walking on the small walkway which leads to the river-side, an out-of-the-world panoramic visual clean-bold my senses...  There was the river on one side, and the lush hill on the other side. And up there on this hill, was this tree... standing tall and high, aiming to reach the moon, as if imparting the message of keeping the head high and having a bold self confidence even when one is standing alone.

(Did u observe the moon there which the tree is staring at??? Have a close look again)

Aerial View of the Taj Mahal some 50 years back

Aerial View of Taj Mahal some 50 years back

A couple of months back, an email was doing rounds on the web-world questioning the authenticity of the Taj Mahal being originally built by the famous Mughal emperor- Shah Jehan. 

The mail argued through illustrations of one Prof. Oak that this beautiful structure (which proudly boasts of being India's entry into the SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD ~~~ that too in both the versions of philosophies ~ the ancient one as well as the recently concluded modern one!) was once an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva known as "Tejo Mahalaya". The mail goes on saying that Shah Jehan had in fact usurped this temple palace from the then Maharaja of Jaipur, Maharaja Jai Singh.

Though the genuineness of the either the mail or the content is still a point of debate, the pictures that made part of the mail were unique. They had been captured some 50 odd years back and are in black & white / sepia tones.

I'm taking the liberty to share one of its pictures ~ the aerial snapshot ~ of this magnificent structure, known to all of us today as THE TAJ MAHAL!

[PS: In case you haven't come across such an email arguing the genuineness of Taj Mahal as originally built by Shah Jehan, send a request mail to admin.blogs4cause@gmail.com. We'll forward you a copy.]
