Agra Diaries

If Taj stands for ethereal love, Agra Fort replays the real; But Sheroes has more life Lessons!!!!!✨ In nature, light creates color!!!!! Usually, I am morning person and the best moments of the day are when the sun breaks through the trees that surround my rented apartment. The chirping birds in the leafy branches jumping to one another’s company, breaking the morning silence with their sweet noises fill my blank mind as I take tea in the sky facing balcony. But I did not have to miss this everyday ecstasy as I set off for Agra early in the morning.

Delhi has many historic monuments like Lal Quila and Qutab Minar and landmarks like Lotus temples. They are popular among tourists. Very few would know the existence of Majnu ka Tilla or its history. In fact, the place has much less to offer as a tourist destination. But the place still attracts people like me because of its history. After getting down at Secretariat metro station, I took an e-rickshaw ride through narrow lanes and by lanes to reach the mini Tibet commonly named "Majnu ka Tilla". If you just go by the name of the place, you would believe that the story of the place is someway related to Laila-Majnu story where "Majnu" sacrifices his life for the sake of his love for "Laila".
