Bill Clinton, during his presidential visit to India, said, “the world is divided into those who have seen the Taj and those who have not.”

"All I will say about Taj Mahal is that, those who have seen Taj Mahal, nothing else will amaze their eyes." A review by a visitor.

I visited Taj Mahal the first time, as a kid. And I can boast of being among the lucky few who've had a chance to visit it again! Yes! I've been there four times, and contemplation for the fifth has been on for quite some time. No! you'd never get bored of visiting it! It's not called the 'wonder' that it is, for nothing! Deliberately worked to look different in different lights, you'll want to see it at all times of the day, and night! I have yet to see it by moonlight, hence the contemplation for the fifth visit...not my last I'm sure!

There's more to the elegance and the awe of it, than the pristine marble facade...you've got to see it, to know it all, what with ubiquitous pictures and descriptions...all these put together, wouldn't suffice.

I look forward to adding more here after the fifth visit...hope it happens soon!
