TAJ MAHAL

TAJ MAHAL, one of the Seven Wonders of the modern world, must be visited by all the people. It is a symbol of love and affection between the couple. It shows how a husbands loves his wife.

Taj Mahal is situated in Agra, in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. The Taj Mahal was built on the stand on the Banks of River Yamuna. Nearest Internations Airport is NewDelhi.

The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his second wife Begum Mumtaj, who died in Behrampur. For this purpose Emperor called an architect specially from Iran, who designed and construction took nearly 22 years to complete the work with a work force of 20,000 people. It is really a marvellous work. One must see it and enjoy the beauty of it.

In the morning it looks white and in the evening when sun sets, it looks in light golden colour and in Moon Light it sparkle like beautiful women. One must see Taj in the Moonlight.

You can reach Taj Mahal by Train, or Bus or by Air. There is an airport at Agra and there are no of hotels to stay.

Also dont visit Taj on MONDAY as it is closed.

travel - PLAN WELL BEFORE YOU VENTURE OUT

A person who is born on this earth has to travel. In fact all mankind has to travel from the moment he born to till his death. No body can escape travel like taxes. The journey from home to office and office to back home or journey to meet a friend or fiancé are all local journeys, which are routine and there is no need to plan. But when you want to travel from your existing city to other city of your choice, you have to plan. Other wise your travel will give you some un-satisfaction. Because when you travel you have to spend some money, time and buy some relaxation and peace of mind. You must bring back some happy memories. You should feel enthusiastic to go again and you must have that enthusiasm to share the same with your friends and relatives. To have such feeling and joy you must do some homework before you venture out.

Please note that YOU must feel happy and YOU must enjoy that travel. If YOU are not happy, even others around you are happy, you cannot enjoy that. If you are in a group or with friends they may not care you. But if you are with your loved ones i.e. family, then you will give mental worry to them also.

So most important thing a person has to do is to be HEALTHY. Remember old wise saying HEALTH IS WEALTH. To be healthy do some Yoga or other exercises and ask your family members to do something to keep healthy. Avoid eating outside food ten days prior to travel date. Pranayamam like Kapalabhatti and Anuloma Vinuloma pranayamam are best for people of all kinds of ages. These can be done at your place or at the place of travel of your interest.

When you travel there will be some change of weather. This may effect many people depending upon their resistance power. Some small deceases like Headache and fever are common with women and children. So take some medicines with you along with First Aid Box. You can also find out weather conditions of that place where you are visiting so that you can pack clothes and other essentials according to it.

For entertainment during journey take some good books and novels and also electronic gadgets of your like. You can take playing cards and other small game kits. These will help you to eliminate boring moments.

Also decide how you have to travel i.e. by Air, Road or Rail. If you want to travel by Road with your family, check whether it is safe to travel on those routes. Travel by Air and Rail will be mostly safe, even though there may be some troubles, but which are better when compared to Road Travel by your own vehicle. Travel by Travel buses are also good option. Another advantage to travel by Rail and Air is that you will not be tired as of that of road journeys. According to me Rail travel is best and I like it most.
You can have toilets and bathrooms and have pantry car now a days in almost all trains.
Such facilities are not in Bus or own vehicle travels by road journey. For me train journey can be leisure and can see different places and topography of different areas.
Road journeys may be good if journeys are shorter and provided roads are in good condition.

Always book your tickets well in advance and take leave or permission from your boss if you are working. You must have confirmed tickets if you are traveling with your dear and near ones or family members. Otherwise you face lot of problems in ticket confirmation at the last moment.

If you are traveling from your house to Railways station or Airport or Bus Depot, travel comfortably in a Taxi or other mode of such private transport. But avoid catching local public transport systems like City buses or local trains. Because start of your travel must be something different from your routine life. This makes your family members to be happy. Also do the same thing when you get down from Rail or Air.

Another most important thing is how much money you should have. Count the money needed for you during travel while going and while coming back. Calculate expenditure for the stay at those places i.e. hotels, food and sight seeing and at each leg of journey. Also check out how much you can spend for the shopping also. Calculate total amount and add 20% extra. Plan how many day you stay there. Have that money in any form you like i.e. in cash or traveler cheque or Credit Cards or Debit cards. Really having sufficient money gives a great relaxation. Spend like a king and be independent.

Always carry Identity card and other proof about you. This will be safe and can avoid any troubles than cannot be expected.

Don’t forget to carry your camera, so that you can capture your lovely moments.

If such basic things are kept in mind and planned accordingly, your travel will be happy and enjoyable.

DEEPAVALI - AN UNFORGETTABLE FESTIVAL

DEEPAVALI or DIWALI as it is known popularly is a festival celebrated all over India very enthusiatically. For many people this festival brings some pleasant memories. For me there are pleasant and unpleasant memories since my childhood. This festival is clebrated in many ways according to the custom of that particular region. My native place is Andhra Pradesh and we in Andhra celebrate this festival with buying new clothes. Previous to Diwali festival day there will be Narakachaturdhasi. On this Narakachaturdhasi day we all have to do compuslarily hair bath. Before hair bath my mother used to apply oil massage and blesses us. Then we take hair bath and we in telugu call it " Talantu Snanam". Then my mother used to make some special dishes on this day. Then next day i.e. main festival Deepavali we do again head bath and wear new clothes and before wearing new clothese they are purified by applying small Turmaric powder dot by mother. Because in India culture Turmaric powder removes all hurdles and bad evils. The Yellow color of Turmaric is treated as auspicious and used in all functions and festivals. Also in VASTU, the colour Yellow has great signigicance. Then we go out to play with frineds. We will come back from our play and our mother makes some special dishes for us. We all family members will eat it and enjoy the special Deepavali Dishes and there after we had some rest.

But actual enthusiasm comes in the evening. In the evening we all ready for the festival. My mother makes some torche with green coloured sticks. My father makes a Lakshmi Pooja and thereafter my mother gives those sticks and we have to pat them to the floor with some telugu lyrics meaning Big Bag Deepavali festival Came again and again and let it bring prosperity with it eveytime and come again and again and fill our lives with joy and peace.

Then we all run into homes and to bring crackers and our enjoyment begins from that moment onwards. My father and mother used to do whatever they can do to keep us happy and enjoyable on this festival.

The tradition varies from one state to another in celebrating the festival. But content of the festival is intact throughout the country. That content is distributing sweet dishes and bursting of crackers.

This festival brings some holidays to school and college going children. The newly married ones are invited to their homes by their parents if they are living faraway. This is festival to bring togetherness of faraway living families.
