Visiting the Taj Mahal
I was in India as a chiropractic student learning about traditional
Indian healing arts. As part of the trip we couldn't pass up stopping
to see the Taj Mahal. Now every where in India visitors to this land
are inundated by sellers of everything there is to sell. So they of
course had these beautiful postcards at different times of day. One
particular young boy had a somewhat unique collection of this surreal
and majestic site. Upon visiting the Taj, one should definitely go in
the evening and the morning for in less than 12 hours you will
experience two completely different sites.
Coming back in the morning, I asked the boy his name and told him to
meet me at a certain spot in the morning and I would buy them from
him. He told me his name was Raj and he would meet me the next day.
So, in the morning being unable to find him, I was being offered the
same collection of post cards from another boy. I told him I would
only buy from Raj and did he know where he is. He said "Sir, Sir, you
can buy from me, for it is ok," Now, with a big smile on his face
says "RAJ, HE IS MY BROTHER!"
