Visit to Taj Mahal

That is what we find in Agra. From the most luxurious to the most miserable. From the most lavish to the most degrading.On the one hand, the majesty of one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal. On the other hand, Agra, a chaotic, confusing, where travelers can hardly walk twenty feet without being harassed by a seller or a child begging.

The visit to the Taj Mahal, which must exist, we will enter a world of luxury and perfection, that Shah Jahan wanted to stage in memory of his late wife, for the construction of such divine treasure held in honor of it was his second wife, died giving birth to her fourteenth child.

This sublime mausoleum is the most admired monument in the country and is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture.

The entry is exactly cheap (about 12 euros), but coming to Agra and not seeing this beauty in white marble would be a crime.
In fact, the vast majority of travelers who come to this town in the state of Uttar Pradesh, it is with the only motivation to look at this work of art and his visit to Agra takes less than a day ... As our point of view is a mistake because the area offers a number of other treasures, overshadowed by the omnipresence of the Taj Mahal, are condemned to an undeserved indifference.
We would be talking, for example, the Agra Fort. Without a doubt, elsewhere, this monument would be the jewel of the city ... but being the neighbor of the Taj Mahal is not easy, even when it is one of the most notable strengths of Mughal India.

Akbar also highlight the Mausoleum erected in honor of the greatest of the Mughal emperors. Its structure, sandstone and marble, will be well portrayed if we have to make pictures to the setting sun.

And just 40 km west of Agra, find a magnificent fortified ghost city, Fatehpur Sikri, which for only fourteen years was the capital of the Mughal empire.

But the merits are sometimes not enough, and Agra is still considered, in view of many, just as the city where the Taj Mahal.

Perhaps if it were not so chaotic Agra, so dirty, so complicated. If I had the odd decent hostel in which to stay ... travelers stay longer than 24 hours and would have the opportunity to see and know a little bit of this city whose poverty and dirt contrasts paradoxically with the grandeur and cleanness of the monument which has become famous.

Valentine Day Ideas

Valentine's Day looming on its horizon. Let's not talk now about the need for daily instead of once a year to show their love, as well as the feasibility of this celebration, which evil tongues is called "UN-Russian" and dwell on how well this day, make interesting and memorable.

To begin, we divide the gifts that you can give on this day, a few categories:
1. The main gift.
2. Supporting small gifts and tokens.
3. Situation.

Ideally, embody the ideas of all kinds. However, if for whatever reason (money, for example), you can not, do not worry. Select then the idea that the most you will attract and attach to it the soul!
The main gift.

The main gift - it is the fulfillment of a cherished desire favorite rights. I do not think that many men have a deep desire regular razor, or a set of socks, and women - a new vacuum cleaner or tea service. Presented a similar gift in any ordinary day. And in an unusual - let's think about the incarnation of desire.

Idea 1. Observation.
The main way to get information about the cherished desire - is communication, plus observation. Usual daily interaction, from which you learn that love, and you do not like your loved one. What he dreams that it inspires, that it is amazing. You can hear a hint in one month, and realize it is quite different. If you get the hand, then you may never need to think hard over the main gift - just look at his notes or remember the feelings and emotions of your partner.

How do you know that your loved one is something like:
- In his eyes appear shiny when he talks about it;
- Hear the excitement in his voice, and joy;
- He is holding his breath, looks at the thing or event, and draws your attention to this;
- He talks about it with their friends and girlfriends on the phone.
Supporting small gifts and tokens.

Idea 2. Handicrafts.
This year, do not buy a valentine, and make it their own hands. This will be a great way to show what you think about the loved one, investing your feelings and love. Signature also advise you to use their own compositions. If the verse - all wonderful. And even if it's simple little rhyme, "Sasha, Masha," "love-carrot", it is still important lines of what exactly you came up with them!

The idea of 3. Resourceful.
Romantic coupons. About a year I try to impart this idea to the Russian-speaking readers. On its authorship, I do not pretend - Podgorica himself in a foreign Internet. The meaning is: you first create a small card on which is written some desire. For example, "house cleaning", "trip to the restaurant, breakfast in bed," "massage", etc. This is called a coupon. Next, you give these cards a beloved person. And he may at any time ask you to fulfill what is written on the coupon (i.e present the coupon for execution). Valentine's Day

The idea can be strong enough to change and beat. For example, give a blank, and the man himself wrote the desire, you can negotiate the terms of presenting the coupon to the execution, you can use the coupon as a prize winner in the card, desktop, or your other games, you can just pile on the morning of the upturned scattered coupons to pull out one at a time
