NOW PLAN YOUR VISIT TO TAJ MAHAL ONLINE

Wikipedia is the unofficial reference guide to many netizens to quote anything in the world. 

So, I don't hesitate to quote Taj Mahal from it. It says that : The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum located on the southern bank of Yamuna River in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife of three, Mumtaz Mahal.

Recently, I come to know that you can plan your visit to Taj Mahal even during moon-night days. Here are the details mentioned in the government run Taj Mahal website :

LIVE IN THE CENTRE OF ''LEARNING''

Learning gives creativity, 

Creativity leads to thinking, 
Thinking provides knowledge,  
Knowledge makes you great.

                - Abdul Kalam

There is a misconception in the minds of many that learning is associated only with certain age of person.  They think that once formal education is over, it means end of the road for learning.  When I see such people, I become compassionate of their fate.

In the first place, engaging them in discussion is our stupidity.  Such dry people are boring stuff to a thinking man. 

It is time for a paradigm shift in such perception.  The secret for a sharp mind lies in learning.  In fact, learning is a continuous process till your last breath.  Like Kalam opined, it gives creativity.  

The difference between a man and  beast is the quality of thinking mind.  Learning helps to inculcate this faculty.   With this mindset, if everyone cultivate this habit, it is sure shot to reach greater heights in life.
