“You knew shah Jahan, life and youth, wealth and glory, they all drift away in the current of time. You strove, therefore, to perpetuate only the sorrow of your heart… Let the splendour of diamond, pearl and ruby vanish life the magic shimmer of the rainbow. Only let this one teardrop, this Taj Mahal, glisten spotlessly bright on the cheek of time forever and ever.â€-Rabindranath Tagore.
