Years back when I worked with an MNC Bank in Mumbai, I was moved to a new department – Marketing. I had a new lady boss too, who had just joined the Bank and I took up the task of making her cabin more likable, lovable and workable; since the previous boss had left it as a ‘matter-of-fact’ boring workplace.
Men I tell you!! I went home that evening and looked up my cupboard to find the old cuttings of the pristine beauty – The Taj Mahal. We had an old calendar which had pictures of the Taj in monochrome and color. I had cut all the pictures from that calendar after the year had changed and saved it for later use. I chose the three best pictures – two stunning black and white shots and one sunrise shot with showed off the monument in its full glory.

Because being with the delegates meant being the ‘good host’ and ensuring they enjoyed while we worked, and I just didn’t want to do that. I know I know, selfish me, but then what do you do when you want something badly? Of course, I did play the role of the good host later too. If you ask me whether I am satiated with my maiden visit to the Taj – a BIG NO! I want to go there again with my husband and click all those dramatic and romantic pictures that couples click in front of the white beauty.
That was something I really missed out on. Also, all my pictures that you will see soon are from the cell phone – my beloved Blackberry of those times. I want to click some stunning pictures with my DSLR next time.
