Agra Fort: A city in the city of Taj

This humongous structure, a city in itself, has been a residence to a lot of kings from the Rajputs to the Lodhis and later on to the Mughals.  So much is said about the strategically built Agra Fort- the four gates, 70 feet high walls, 94 acre area and structures made for high security. 

Yet the most fascinating part about this architectural marvel is the Taj Mahal! Confused? Well when you start walking around, you’ll find the highest traffic movement towards one direction which is the riverside (half dried Yamuna) of the fort. As you’ll follow the crowd, you’d see this very pretty sight- the Taj Mahal and the paparazzi!

Let's start

Blame it on the Cancerians! One said ‘why don’t you write something?’ while the other said, ‘everyone has a book in them.’

My travel story starts just a month prior to my birth. And as I was about to be born my parents were exploring Kashmir with my then 11 months old sister. I wonder what the plan was! Well, so it is indeed the genes, no matter what’s going to happen or who’s going to happen (in this case), you've got to go out and explore! They saw it all from Gulmarg to Anatnag to Srinagar to Amarnath…

The journey ended and I was born (like millions of us do), all geared up (not literally), to travel and see the world.……….and still waiting to visit Kashmir.
