Taj Mahal Banquet Hall of Eternity (Article) - 12/8/2015 12:21:10 PM
Dear Ron, About the Taj Mahal being dirty, there you are wrong. The Taj as a world monument is beautifully maintained. If the other photos that were attached to my article could be shwn on Authors Den, which unfortunately the website doesn't allow, you would see for yourself. If you want I can send it to you via email. I will forward the article with pictures. It makes more sense when you see them.

Thank you for the revealing background about the Taj Mahal. I had not thought about the monument being Muslim before. Now that I know, its design makes a lot of sense.
I never got to India, but had I, I surely would have tried to see the Taj Mahal and Red Fort in Agra. I'm sure the monument is very beautiful, but, I believe that close-up it will be somewhat dirty, neglected, and in disrepair. I may be wrong, but after visiting many monuments like this from the past, especially in poor countries, I found the sad truth rather than what the shining photographs appeared to portray.

Elegy for Elephants (Poetry) - 6/15/2016 2:20:53 AM
I think it is absolutely necessary to preserve our earth, including our elephants, be they African or Indian elephants. The extinction of species started thousands ago with the Romans who captured beasts for gladiatorial combats, leading to the deaths of numerous beasts at the arenas of ancient Rome. Today, it has taken an unprecedented dimension, may God deliver the planet HE created. Good poem.

Very interesting, especially the multi generational building of these homes, "as poverty would allow." And the last line of alluding to India's colonial past.
Would like to see how those houses are constructed close up.

Interesting way of the houses continuously being added to with the materials found close by apparently, in this case mostly red rock of different hues and shapes I'm sure, by different generations. Would like to check them out, and think I will go on a"hunt" on this friendly (sometimes) Internet.
