This is the photo of my first-ever trip abroad during my childhood! Well, I should rather say my ancestral home in India since that’s where I hail from!
The photo was clicked by my mother who had accompanied me in the day-long sight-seeing tour to Delhi and Agra‘s archaeological sites. I was only a nine-year old back then. We had a sight-seeing day-long bus tour package of the historical sites of Agra Red Fort, Akbar‘s Tombat Sikandra, Fatehpur Sikri, in addition to this stunningly beautiful mega-structure named Taj Mahal. Unfortunately, that was the only day we could get out for a day-out in the entire trip of 13-days in India as we were stranded due to the Hindu-Sikh riot that broke loose following the assassination of the Indian Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi.
As far as I remember, curfew ensued just after this tragic incident and we were practically grounded until we could exhale a sigh of relief once we could get back home safely. India is the neighboring country of ours yet we were unsure how we could get back home to Bangladesh since flights were not available and the situation in India was really very uncertain and unstable at that time.
In the picture with the immaculately built marble structure — Taj Mahal in the backdrop, I was standing on a barren fountain in front of this historic mausoleum. The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died soon after she gave birth to their 14th child! The grief-stricken emperor made a promise to his dying wife that he would build a paradise on Earth in her memory.
When I visited the heritage site, I actually was too small to grasp the intensity of the beauty of this colossal structure. With time, I soon realized the significance of this amazing work of art, which also was listed as the UNESCO world heritage site in 1983. When I try to reminisce, I make an effort to recall the memory I have of the Taj, and I try to connect what I read now with what I saw back then! The history, the architecture, and the beauty of the Taj Mahal — everything is utterly fascinating!
Here are some interesting links on the history behind the majestic Taj Mahal and this truly captivating architectural wonder of the Mughal Empire.
YouTube Video Credits: I would like to thank ‘HowStuffWorks‘ channel on the YouTube for uploading as a thorough review by Matt and Rachel about this beauty’s history and architectural wonder.
The ‘Zenhacker‘ and ‘Punjabicom1‘ Video channels on the YouTube also deserves acclaim for the meticulous narration of the beguiling love story behind this enormous mausoleum and the story of the ruthless Mughal rulers of the 17th century Mughal Empire.
Last but not the least, I would also like to thank my best friend and travel mate for my life, Shelly for scanning this picture from the old album that I had left back home. I really appreciate his help in electronically sending this scanned picture to me for this blog!
Finally, with this début post, I am thrilled about the official kick-start of my blog “Umini’s Itchy Feet!” starting from Sun, Jan 25th and I thank the Lord Almighty for this! Please follow my posts! Initially am committed to posting about my interesting travel experiences! See you again, soon!

Hi! Thanks for appreciating! Honestly speaking, this blog was the result of a mandatory college exercise (course requirement) in Social Media. I took travel blog as the topic since I was passionate about it. While I prepared the blogs, I looked into the treasure trove of social media albums that I had posted while on the go throughout the world. Therefore, I did not have the time to check out what was available elsewhere. You might want to follow the travel related twitter accounts and travel magazines. I am positive you will find good resources there. Hope this helps!
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long
comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again.
Regardless, just wanted to say wonderful blog!

Hi, this weekend is pleasant in favor of me, since this time i
am reading this great informative paragraph here at my house.
fe376dfaac9b20d763d4e066f8ba31b0
Hi there, its pleasant paragraph concerning media print, we all understand media is
a fantastic source of data.
fe376dfaac9b20d763d4e066f8ba31b0
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing
a blog post or vice-versa? My website covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I
think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested
feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing
from you! Awesome blog by the way!
fe376dfaac9b20d763d4e066f8ba31b0

go to see this blog on regular basis to get updated from most up-to-date news.

You actually make it seem really easy with your presentation but I in finding
this matter to be actually something that I believe I’d by no means understand.
It sort of feels too complicated and extremely large for me.
I am having a look ahead to your subsequent post, I’ll try
to get the hang of it!
fe376dfaac9b20d763d4e066f8ba31b0
I get what you mean. I got back to the post and tried to be in your shoes. Perhaps my hailing from India and living in the Indian subcontinent (now Bangladesh), it is rather easy for me to grasp yet it might just be hard for others hailing from a different continent. Maybe a post on the history of Taj Mahal and the Emperors of India might give you some background material on the post which might help yo understand.
I have read so many articles or reviews about the blogger lovers but this post is actually a
good paragraph, keep it up.
fe376dfaac9b20d763d4e066f8ba31b0
