taj mahal

you always hear about how the taj mahal is so beautiful.  and you think, well, i'm sure it's nice and all, but is it really that extraordinary?  

yes.

yes, it is that beautiful.  there is a physical impact, a little whispering boom in the heart, the moment you first set eyes on it.  but the really extraordinary thing is the pure serenity it radiates, unaffected, even, by the yelping, chattering crowds.  which, if you've ever been in a crowded place in india, is really saying something.
