tajmahal

On Cock & Bull today, we are joined by Ayushi Amin, Kajol Srinivasan, and Abbas. Cyrus today is ranting about the many chairs, cops & big SUVs on the lanes of his residential area - because of the highly active political presence. Abbas tried to start the show by sharing some memes posted on the Cyrus Says Discord Server, but that didn’t work out, and the panel started discussing Shakespeare, Julius Caesar & why monuments like the Taj Mahal are built. Finally, before the break, a brand new segment happened - Cyrus Reacts, where Cyrus reacted poorly to the memes shared on the show’s fan-created Discord Server. Topics discussed by the panel were: The feud between Elon Musk & Donald Trump on Twitter, Bengaluru park banning ‘anti-clockwise walking’ & NASA’s James Webb telescope detecting water on a distant planet. Tune in for this and much more!

Sarah Winchester, tragic heiress to the Winchester fortune, lost everything.  Her child, her husband, and quite possibly her mind.  Entangled in the Spiritualism movement of the time, she followed the advice of a psychic and moved to California where she proceeded to build a bizarre mansion that even gave the skeptic Harry Houdini the creeps.  Join the CrimeJuicy gang as we ask, "...but why?"

संगमरमर का बना एक मकबरा जिसे एक शहंशाह ने अपनी बेगम के लिए बनवाया। शहंशाह का राज जाता रहा और उसकी बेगम की याद भी धूमिल हो गई पर रह गया लोगों की याद में ये मकबरा जो सभी के मन पर राज करता है। बस इतनी सी है ताज महल की कहानी। सूर्योदय से पहले की गुलाबी आभा हो, तेज़ बारिश की झड़ी या फिर ढलती शाम की रौशनी हो या चांदनी रात। ताजमहल का जादू सर चढ़ कर बोलता है। कैसा भी मनुष्य हो या उसका कैसा भी मन या मानसिकता हो यहाँ आकर वो सिर्फ और सिर्फ प्यार में डूब जाता है।

An Ode to Love: Taj Mahal

A mausoleum built entirely of marble by an emperor in memory of his empress. The world may not know about the emperor or the love of his life but the Mausoleum has made its way to their hearts. This is the story of Taj Mahal. Whether it's the pink light of dawn or setting sun at dusk, heavy showers or moonlit night, Taj Mahal's attraction remains the same. No matter who it is or what their mental state is, a visit to Taj Mahal overpowers them with love.

श्रीनगर शहर पर जहांगीर और शाहजहां जैसे मुग़ल बादशाहों की छाप आज भी दिखाई देती है। शहर के सारे बाग़ उन्हीं की देन हैं। बागों के लिए मुग़लों के प्रेम का ही नतीजा है की इस घनी आबादी वाले शहर में सबसे सुन्दर और खुली जगह शालीमार, और निशात या चश्म-इ शाही के बागों में मिलती है। साढ़े चार सौ साल बाद भी श्रीनगर में यही पर्यटन के आज भी सबसे बड़े केंद्र हैं।

A city of Mughal gardens: Srinagar

Mughals and especially Jahangir and Shahjahan loved KAshmir and built a series of gardens in Srinagar. Shalimar, Nishat and garden at Chashm-e-shahi are still the calling cards for the tourists visiting the city as they are the main attraction in an otherwise congested settlement.

This week, The Musafir Stories speaks to  Sai Kumar as we continue disucssing his ascent towards Leh-Ladakh after having successfully covered the terrains of the Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Punjab. So sit back and enjoy part 2 of the Great Indian Road trip!

Time of the year - July

Length of the itinerary: 77 days, 11,124kms!!!

Itinerary Highlights: 

• Sai continues his journey from Amritsar towards Ladakh, albeit with a slight change of plan due to the unrest in Srinagar.
• He finds a travel companion in Peter, a British explorer who has been riding his bike across the world, and the two set off towards Kashmir via the challenging Sach Pass, the mother of all passes!
• This was one of the most challenging stretches of the road trip, yet completely pristine and serene. There were a couple of landslides to deal with as well as streams to cross!
• Finally a stop at Killar for the night, after almost 16 hours on the road
• Continue riding towards Key long, the last base before riding towards Leh with a stopover at Udaipur(HP) and Saarchu!
• Start early, pass Pang before you hit the Leh-Manali highway and enjoy riding on good roads after a long time.
• Finally reach Leh on day 36! Sai spends about two weeks here where he meets up with family traveling from Bangalore!
• Some things to do are Pangong Lake, slightly over-rated according to Sai. Visit monasteries like Thiksey monastery, Shanti Stupa, the market place of Leh.
• Homestays is a good way to interact with the locals and be closer to the local culture. 
• Treks to Nubra valley, seeing camels, Kargil war museum and tons of things to do in this beautiful town of Leh! 
• Finally start the descend downwards (although the original plan was to travel south east towards Assam, the flood situation in Bihar, UP and Assam forced Sai to change directions again)
• Leh - Jaspa - Manali- Chandigarh. Finally get to enjoy the good roads after close to a month and enjoy some good food!
• Ride towards Delhi for a short trip and enjoy the sights around NCR before heading out towards Agra!
• Hit the Yamuna express way to reach Agra in a whiff! 
• Watch the mighty Taj Mahal in all its glory and Sai also got to celebrate his birthday in Agra, albeit he was a bit sick
• From here heads off towards MP where Khajuraho is his next stop - exploring the iconic temples and learning about the history of the place. Hiring a local tourist guide would be beneficial. 
• Start riding towards AP and Telangana and reach Hyderabad!Feeling closer to home! Enjoy the sights of Hyderabad!
• Get some rest and head off towards Bangalore! Sai had to suffer another scare as there were Cauvery water related riots in Bangalore and parts of Tamil Nadu. Sai manages to get away to Hosur before things get out of hand. 
• Sai continues towards Madurai and visits the Meenakshi Amman temple, an architectural marvel!
• Sai next heads off to Kanyakumari, enjoys Onam festivites on the way, enjoying some Sadya - the traditional meal of Onam!
• Visit the Swami Vivekananda rock memorial and museum to know more about his journey across India!
• Before finishing off the journey, Sai decides to join his family for the Sabarimala pilgrimage after which he returns back to Coimbatore - where it all started.

A bitter-sweet feeling, on one hand you are back  to the comforts of home, but deep down, you know your freedom you enjoyed during the trip is going to die a gradual death!
