Catatan Perjalanan yang tertunda, India part 3

The Finale Episode

27th, 28th and 29th Nov.: -Agra-Tajmahal-Delhi-KL

Yeah, lastly today was the day that we're waiting for. TAJMAHAL!!
Since that the Mahal was closed on Friday, we had changed our scheduled that we visited tajmahal on the last day at Agra.

The entrance fee was about 1000 rupees but it was worthy. You might read a lot of writing bout Tajmahal but seeing it by your own eyes was totally different. So jangan cakap banyak bie, letak je gambar2.

tadaaa..

mahalnya cinta shah jahan pada mumtaz..huhu..






alhamdulillah, we arrived early in the morning so that by the time we're finish sightseeing most of the complex and heading out we just noticed, omg..we could see that a lot of peoples were queuing up to enter the Taj mahal.

We're so happy with Mr. Zaidi that was really a guide, only gave brief information about 20 minutes and gave us 2 hours to go around the complex. He told us that was the 11th time for that year to visits Tajmahal and yet he still have patience waiting us till we really satisfied and "ok, enough pics wit Tajmahal, we can go now Mr. zaidi".. :)

So, Mr. Zaidi recommend us to one of the Muslims restaurant at Agra. yeeah, it has been a week that we eat tosai, nan capati with eggs and cheeseball, now the time to taste the real mutton, chicken beriani, masala and varies of Indian food. Fuhh, the spices were all mixed, blend with the mutton and melted in our mouth..perghh..really nyummy!!

ada tak gambar eh?jap jap...
takda la..khusyuk makan..ni makan kat tepi sawah otw dari fatehpur sikri
ni Yamuna river..
eh eh..ni gambar keturunan pengukir Tajmahal tau..jangan main2..
Hermm..ada kat Kache/ Aiyee kot..takpelah letak gambar minum teh kat kilang marble jelah..ok..we continue sightseeing in Agra by visiting the Agra Fort. Inside the fort, there are the Shah Jahani Mahal.

"It is situated between the white marble Khas-Mahal and the red stone Jahangiri mahal and is set, transitionally, in between these two major residential complexes of two different ages. It is the earliest attempt of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan to convert an existing redstone building in accordance with his taste. It is his earliest palace in Agra Fort and has a large hall and side rooms, and an octagonal tower on the river side."

Kesimpulannya, dekat Agra Fort ni ada istana Shah Jahan yang diwarisi dari ayahnya Jahangir. That's the reason, ada part of the building with the red stone and some of them with white marble. Shah Jahan prefer the white marble wall, pure gold ceiling and diomonds-rubies, emeralds, topaz for the decoration..fuhh..u can count it worth billion or trilliion dollars of his Mahal.





whoaa.. my body exhausted enough for one day sightseeing all the palaces and my mind stuck listening all the love story of SJ-MM, the construction of TM, the monarchy of Moghul emperors from Akbar, Jahangir, SJ and all his sons (he had 14 kids with MM) and the only emperor, Aurangzeb was a pious man. At least, the last one was the real Muslim's caliph at that moment.

As usual, we spent our last shop till drops with Mr. Zaidi after Magrib prayers. So, at the lobby hotel he finally told the truth that he had his own business; leather, textile and etc. Hoo..orang kaya rupanya..kan dah kata. He offering us the leather business, hee..sorry la Mr. Zaidi kat malaysia tak jalanlah..being a guide was only his passion. Tak heran lah dia tak terkejar2 n tak mita duit pun. ;) yet he said that he always bring the guests/ tourist to his house but unluckily during that time his wife was sick and could not treat us. Wah that's was so kind, thank u so much..Insya Allah we will come again.

LAST DAY

We heading back to Delhi, sempat window shopping at one of the shopping mall there. Last minute shopping sarees and pashmina again and again. Then rushing to the airport, performing our jamak at the airport musolla, dinner with vegie pizza and boarding flight back to KL. Letih sangat2 but this journey was so meaningful and im happy that i didn't cancel it at the last minute.
Bye2 india..Insya Allah i'll bring my kids again there.. :)
