The place just seems unrealistic when you glimpse it from far away.

Theres much more . Its a heavily researched and still in research subject- Tajmahal.<br /><br />U gotta visit :)Afshan Shaikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254121368798290377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-79439928920911303592012-11-07T22:27:16.489+05:302012-11-07T22:27:16.489+05:30@nandana : Thank U :)
Religious lunatics-> we c...@nandana : Thank U :)<br />Religious lunatics-> we can always write volumes abt them but better not do it to save our own mental peace.<br /><br />The thing u told abt charminar saddens me. If u dig deep U will find many such illustrations! U know at tolichowki there is a darga and temple and lot of traffic jam due to that but No guts in govt officials coz demolishing any or both will make every person there outrageous and U know the consequences even before it actually happens!.<br /><br />Lord Shiva/ ANY God save charminar and also the temple. It has happened from ages when there is some thing prominent of one religion the other also wants to get famous there be it any religion....

There are too many idiots in all religions, who can't tolerate any other religion getting good space (like Mughal architecture here). <br /><br />You know In Hyderabad, a Shiva temple is built very close to Charminar. Now for some screwed up reason, they have tried "extending" it and for it they are drilling holes into Charminar. Can you imagine that? Drilling holes into such a heritage site. It made me sick to stomach. Why can't they just that beautiful structure just be? <br /><br />Anyhow, sorry for ranting here, what I want to say is all the fools whose tongues are wagging now couldn't have knows more than a great historian like Tagore did. <br /><br />And great pics btw.eNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556309500882619796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-5410447712377961412012-11-07T02:55:53.465+05:302012-11-07T02:55:53.465+05:30Ohh so many controversies are there eh.
