A Visit to a Place of Historic Interest
Ans:
I love to travel. My parents encouraged me to travel. I have been cherishing the dream of visiting the Taj Mahal for a long time. My dream came true during the last Puja vacation. I went to Agra with my parents. I also had some friends with me. On 7th October, at about 5 pm we started for New Delhi by the Rajdhani Express from Howrah. As the speed of the train increased, I feasted my eyes on the passing charming scenes through the window. Green fields, village huts, hills and trees greeted our eyes. The next morning we reached Agra. The marvelous Taj looks like a beautiful dream on a moonlit night. What a wonderful architecture! I had only heard of its majestic beauty earlier. But this time with my own eyes I got boundless joy and thrill. My friends were also amazed to see this majestic edifice. In addition to the Taj, we visited Akbar's tomb at Sekundra and the deserted fort at Fatehpur Sikri. Moti Masjid(Mosque), Red Fort, Jumma Masjid(Mosque) and Qutub Minar have fascinated us a lot. We were simply fascinated by visiting Dewan-i-am and Dewan-i-Khas. Agra casts a hypnotic spell on us with its old appearance and historical ruins. One day my parents took us to Sangsad Bhaban, Shantiban, Rajghat and Vijayghat. Such a tour is in fact a kind of discovery as well as history itself. As I returned, I remembered Keats' line: 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'.
