A tender heart treads softly
There at Taj Mahal …
And the marble gleams bright
On her …
As she wears a young love –
Endlessly searching through timeless steps …
Suddenly, I can’t quite understand why I wanted those shoes so much …
I still love the shoes I wore that day, and I remember the feeling of walking around in it. It was our first trip abroad—just the three sisters, our brother, and our parents. We sisters were fond of this type of Lehenga, which was very popular at the time. So, I chose one and matched it with the perfect shoe. We bought these in Kolkata (Calcutta) and traveled from there to Delhi, then Agra, Jaipur, and other places.
On that day, we chose to wear this attire specifically for our visit to the Taj Mahal. It was such a beautiful day—I still remember it vividly. We got ready to see the Taj Mahal in person, wearing our special outfits. My jewelry consisted only of earrings and a watch. In our youth, we didn’t need any makeup, and we three sisters looked stunning in our attire. I still remember how much my father loved our outfits and took great care of us. He made sure we all took pictures in front of the Taj just like this.
Needless to say, I felt incredibly elegant in my own skin—beautiful, serene, warm, and quiet.
I was a very quiet girl back then—so quiet that my close ones used to call me ‘Dead Beauty.’
However, I wish to visit Taj again ..
Do you wish to visit with me?
Not yet but soon I guess after reading this 💜

My Mother traveled quite a bit (she visited over 60 countries, many several times) and she said only two sites exceeded her expectations: The Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon.

Thank you Geoff for your kind presence and words. I appreciate it-
Your mother must have had incredible experiences!
The Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon are truly awe-inspiring places. It’s amazing how some sites can surpass even the highest expectations ..
I visited Grand Canyon as well – I ve a daring picture of myself standing almost at the edge of a cliff in one of the dangerous spot. Now, I feel goosebumps when I look back … I’ll share someday!
Life is a great journey-
May we all travel well 🔆✨❤️

The Taj Mahal is definitely worth a visit if you ever make it to UP! There’s so much to explore there ….
I remember we visited Agra Fort as well …
How wonderful that Jaipur is close by for you—it’s such a beautiful city too – Pink city Jaipur. I remember Amma bought some exquisite jewellery and clothes from there …
It was probably the year 1992 –
I was a young teenager at that period of time …. I was a little confused girl, full of emotional and sensitive energy

Now I’m a Ninja 🥷🏻

I imagine visiting the Taj Mahal leaves an impression on a person. I’d love to visit it someday, but I’m afraid it’s only a dream at this point. I think it’s wonderful you were able to go there with your family.
Your verse, although simple, offers just enough to give the impression of grandness. The gleaming marble and timeless steps speak to both beauty and antiquity. Nicely done!
