Wandering and Wondering

 "We shape our buildings thereafter they shape us" Humayun tomb, the monument that inspired the construction of Taj Mahal a century later!! It was constructed in 1572 by Bega Begum in memory of her husband, Humayun, the great emperor of Mughal era.It is fascinating to see the contrast from Taj Mahal, which was constructed by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife.   This magnificent piece of architecture is made from contrasting red sandstone and marble. The whole architecture of Humayun tomb is inspired by Quranic description of paradise, the beautiful garden beneath which a river flows at the final resting place. Humayun tombs has more than 100 graves from mughal era. It was also one of the refugee camp at the time of partition of India.  Early morning at Humayun tomb

"Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is ideal life" There are very few who would appreciate our definition of bachelor party. It was no hangover, no strippers, no wild party. It was all chitchat and things we haven't managed to talk, four of us knowing each other for more than four years, two of whom getting married to love of their life.     We decided to head to Langkawi with close to no expectation. It is an island off the west coast of Malaysia bordering Thailand. But guess what! enough was there in store to surprise us. The beaches are serene, unspoilt and the roads are so less crowded that one can really enjoy driving. This is one of the first few pics we took, somehow it gave me the memory of Ranchi.  Yaroon dosti badi hi haseen hai - Photo credits: Outline of Photography
