The Road to Agra

Waking up at 6 in the Delhi winter. Driving through the fog. Stopping by beautiful yellow mustard fields (the legendary sarson ke kheth). Listening to John Mayer and Maroon 5. Warm chai at a roadside dhaba. Speeding by camel-carts on Haryana roads. Crossing states into UP. Agra. Secundra. Mathura. Brijbhoomi. The Taj. Agra Fort. Akbar's tomb. Krishna Jhanmasthal. Lots of photos. Lots of laughter. A crazy cousin trying to steal a smoke, unnoticed. Munching non-stop in the car. What fun!

Buzz,
Lordy lord! Look who decided to comment :)
I will have you know that I looked for lapel pins at the Taj but couldnt find any. Will send you photos instead ;)

Jupiter,
No, you Five-Star-hotel-trotter :p
And Mathura wasnt worth the effort, to be honest. Details later.
