Its been attracting people from all walks of life. It has become one of the must visit places in Delhi along with the very famous historical monuments .                         Trust me its completely authentic!!!! If you don't, then .....

AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY???

HEY !!!

                                                                   
                     WHATS THIS ??? UR RIGHT   A TRAIN.  Gets you all  excited about the journey and vacation.......... doesn't it??? But it gives me blues.... why? I'd like to share that experience with you all.....

                       The last summer I had been to Delhi for a vacation . It was fun !!!!! I dint know how the 2 weeks had passed . Finally it was time for us leave ,as our journey was not preplanned we did not have our return tickets . So,we thought to get the tickets in tatkal . I hope you all have heard about the scheme started by the IRCTC  department of India... that is nothing but the TATKAL SCHEME.

                      Under this scheme-For passengers who plan their journey at short notice. These tickets can be booked over counter and on the internet .Tatkal Booking starts one day in advance (reduced from 2 days) excluding the day of journey e.g. for a journey on 10th counters will  open at 10 am on 9th.To get a ticket booked by tatkal one must carry his/her copy of identity  at the time of booking the ticket and also during his train journey. Government of Indian Railways have started this scheme for the public wefare.

                       So we decided to go to the station at 7 o clock -it dint work out , because they was already long queue ....Then again we decided to go early on the next day . But  to our bad luck it didnt make any difference on that day also we couldn't get the tickets .. and we also tried to book  tickets online but was of no use .. and then when we went to the station again an agent asked us around 1000 rupees just to stand  FIRST IN THE  QUEUE?? ...and who on this earth will pay him just to stand front in the row and even after paying him the amount we'll not be sure to get a ticket .....a week passed like this   and i felt like i'll never return to Hyderabad..
                       Then,somehow we managed to get the tickets and came back to Hyderabad.  I had to miss a week in my college ....
     TRULY, I CAN NEVER FORGET THIS JOURNEY......
      now look at the tired ME!(near the pillar)

Then i cam to know about the tatkal scam !!! I couldn't believe it!!
                                   WATCH  IT .............

                             TATKAL SCAM EXPOSED BY CNN-IBN 
                            We all common passengers try hard to travel from one place to another and all  these people try to cheat us!!!
                             To curb this problem the government proposed that scrapping the Tatkal ticket sales at counters and allowing only e-reservations and changing the timings for the Tatkal ticket booking to avoid overlap with booking times for normal tickets are also under consideration .                                 Sources in the Railway Ministry say a decision on the measures to be adopted will be taken soon. Earlier measures to streamline the Tatkal system like allowing only two tickets per person, disallowing change of passenger names after booking and stricter cancellation rules don't seem to have worked in eliminating touts...
           HOPE THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES THE NEEDFUL  AT THE EARLIEST!

SECRECTS OF TAJ MAHAL

Hello everyone!                                                                                                                                                Have you all ever wondered why and how a tomb is called as a MAHAL?                                                   If you all did'nt dont worry , because after reading this u will  start wondering why?.
             
   Whats the first thing that strikes u all when u look at this picture?

                                                                                       You all may think about The 7th wonder of the world , Shah Jahan, Mumtaz, the beatiful love story,Mugals and  soo  on.......... dont u ?. But what if I tell u that Taj Mahal isn't what it seems ?  I guess you all might be thinking that"WHO THE HELL IS SHE????? " .  Let me elaborate....    Mr P.N Oak who revealed the secret behind "The Great Taj Mahal" that it was not a tomb but an old  Shiv temple . MR Oak had published a book called TAJ MAHAL-THE TRUE STORY  in which he gave many resons that how and why Shiv Temple was reconstruted as Tomb.                                                                                                       Mr P.N Oak has claimed that the Taj Mahal in reality is a Lord Shiva's Temple. He filed a petition but was rejected. No one has ever dared to challenge this eternal love story except this man. He believes that the whole world has been fooled. According to him it is an ancient Hindu temple of Shiva. He claims that it is a corrupt version of Shiva’s Palace. He believes that the love story of shah Jahan and Mumtaz is a fairy tale and nothing like that happened in reality. Since Shah Jahan’s time many rooms remained sealed and are still unreachable to the general public. Some says they contain statues of Shiva and other objects used in temples.                                                                                                                      Taj Mahal  is called as Tejo Mahalaya  which was an ancient shiva temple. It was said that before the mughals  they were  hindu kings ruling in Agra.The Hindu rulers of Agra  were  the devotees of Lord Shiva , so they constructed a beautiful temple in the name of Lord Shiva .During the rule of Shah Jahan  this temple was reconstruted as Taj  for his beautiful wife Mumtaz .                                                                                                                                                                                      NOW LOOK AT THIS!!!!!                                                                                                                                                                        YES , this is the pinnacle of Taj Mahal .Observe this pinnacle carefully what do u see?? Yes they is a kalash  which will be often depicts the Hindu Culture.So this a hint  that Taj Mahal is not what it actually SEEMS!!!!                They are around 1000 rooms in the Mahal -why?? why are they soo many rooms in a tomb ?? Well some historians think and believe that TAJ was an ancient Shiv Temple - so i guess these rooms were used as an important part of temple to store ornaments,clothes etc of  lord SHIVA!!!!!!!   .The historians also think that they are many artifacts (related to the temple ) closed down in the chambers of  Taj..                              WELL..... they are many points which shows us that that TAJ MAHAL  shares hindu-muslim relation!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         OOH how can someone forget this...

               THE BLACK TAJ... A MYTH??  according to the black taj's myth -Shah Jahan had planned to build mirror image of the Taj Mahal he built for Mumtaz, in black , on the other side of the river and connect the two by a bridge. This Black Taj was to be dedicated to Shah Jahan himself.Shah Jahan's obsession with symmetry, the idea certainly seems wonderfull. .It was believe that Shah Jahan  began to built his own tomb  opposite to his begums tomb but could not complete it.....  but these were the MYTHS of  some historians!        An observation made by archeologists in 2006, when they reconstructed part of the pool in the moonlit garden and it reflected a dark reflection of the white mausoleum which is the BLACK TAJMAHAL.....

Thats it for now guys take care till my next post !!! and keep diggin in because history  is in its depth ......  :)
