It was the month of January of the year 2003. I got up before dawn and quickly dressed up to reach the New Delhi railway station. I took the Shatabdi Express from Delhi for Agra at 6:15 a.m. The journey was quite interesting. In the train I met a newly-married couple on the train. They had married a month ago and were going to Himachal Pradesh to spent their winter vacation. We talked about the various popular tourist attractions in Himachal Pradesh like Shimla, Kullu, Manali, Dalhousie, Dharamshala.
In the afternoon the train reached Agra and got off the train. I said the married couple bye and entered the once-grand city. The first few things that attracted me in this grand city were the twisted narrow lane, dense traffic with lot of vehicles running on the road like rickshaws, cars and people. These overcrowded roads were lined with many shops. Most of the vendors were selling religious artifacts, plastic toys, spices, sweets e.t.c.
I left my luggage at a hotel and went straight to visit the Taj Mahal. It was made up of entirely white marble. It had a magical quality that attracted everyone. Its colour changed with the varying of light and shadow. The white marble was studded with gemstones from inside. On the full moon light the reflection of the Taj Mahal in the pond attracted the school children and other tourists, There were many tourist guides who told many interesting things about the Tajmahal.
