Beautiful Shots !! Tajmahal is one of the Finest Example of beautiful Art Work !! Great Kavita !
Superb! Ws so nice of u folks to give her such a lovely surprise :)
amazing clicks Kavita...this reminded me of my two trips to the Taj Mahaal..there they say, after seeing the Taj Mahaal, while going back if you turn around and look at it, you get a chance to see it the second time. but I can't recollect doing so the first time; but I did so the second time :)
She is great! Yes, yoga and walking regularly keeps us healthy. Did she visit Baba Ramdev's ashram at Hardwar? We follow his yoga method.
Over 80? I hope I look as good when I am her age!
I am glad your husband took close-ups of the walls. I always wondered what they looked like.
I remember when my son went through India he said that he was stunned at how beautiful the Taj Mahal was. He says places will sometimes not live up to the hype so they end up being a little disappointed. But not the Taj mahal. He says they stayed there the whole day just savoring the beauty.
I've visited the Taj Mahal twice and to me it's the most beautiful building I've ever seen.
Your aunt is amazing for her age. I already do a lot of walking - think I'll take up yoga now. I wanna be as fit as her at that age!
wow..the taj charm is alluring...thanks kavita...sure u doing well and as cheerful as ever..best wishes
