TREAURES OF INDIA: TAJ MAHAL


Photobucket
A palace fit for a queen

There are certain days in our lives we never forget: the jubilee of riding a two-wheeler for the first time, our first dollar from the Tooth Fairy, the day we come out of the DMV with an official driver's license- large status stuff. And then there's the day you witness one of history's most impressive marvels, and you do it in a country as foreign, exotic and extreme as India. Welcome to the Taj Mahal, ladies and gents...
