Taj Mahal
Big as sky, white as a ray of light and pure as love, that's what I thought when, I first saw The Taj Mahal – one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This splendid masterpiece of architecture was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Arjumand Banu who was later known as Mumtaz Mahal, which means, the Distinguished of the Palace. On a school trip, I got my first chance to visit this beautiful gift of love. Although city of Agra, where Taj Mahal is situated, is just a few hours drive away from my home town, I never got chance to visit The Taj Mahal before. I was very much excited about the trip, as big and beautiful buildings always appeal to me, and on this trip I was going to see one of the beautiful buildings in the world, and that's with my friends! We started our trip from our school itself; and after three hours of singing and having good time with friends in a school bus, we reached the Agra. Our first stop was the hotel where we have to stay wile touring the Agra and it's near by town for four days. After having a quick meal in that hotel, I was ready to see my dream coming true, just a few minuets drive and I was in front of most beautiful mausoleum on Earth, its beauty and charm is undefined, but as I mention before, it was huge and white and I was unable to take my eyes off from it, when I was looking at Taj, I was in some other world, I got so much attracted from the work of sculptors, masons, craftsmen, and calligraphers who was called from Persia, Ottoman Empire and Europe to work on construction of the Taj that, I was simply straying it from out side without realizing that my whole class group is already moved inside the it! And when I came back from my imagination world I realize that I was lost, none of my friend was with me and I am standing alone in between hundreds and thousands of people. First I was scared but, I don't know from where I got full of confidence and I saw a police man there and told him my whole

    Burj Khalifa

    The Burj Khalifa, in Dubai—the new holder of the title of World’s Tallest Building—is no less extravagant a media gesture. Unlike Wright’s design, to which it bears a startling resemblance, this building is very real—all one hundred and sixty stories (or two thousand seven hundred and seventeen feet) of it. For decades, skyscrapers have been topping each other in only small increments: Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers (one thousand four hundred and eighty-two feet) are thirty-two feet taller than Chicago’s Sears Tower (or Willis Tower, as it is now called); the Shanghai World Financial Center is about a hundred and thirty feet taller than the Petronas Towers; Taipei 101, in Taiwan, is fifty feet taller than the Shanghai tower; and so on. But the Burj Khalifa represents a quantum leap over these midgets. Even if you put the Chrysler Building on top of the Empire State Building, that still wouldn’t equal its height.…

    We reached Darjeeling by Toy Train and lodged in a hotel for a week. From the first day we started going out for sight-seeing. I was greatly charmed by the scenic beauty of the mountain forests, tea-gardens and the sky-kissing peak of the snow-covered Kanchanjungha. We visited the attractive spots like the zoo, the Victoria Falls, the Lebong race-course, the highest race- cource in the world. We also saw the ropeway from the North Point to the Rangit Valley. One dawn, we visited the Tiger Hill from where we had a wonderful view of the sunrise. It was a rare experience to us. The Mall was another attractive spot where we walked about in the afternoon. I can never forget the charming beauty of Darjeeling.…
