We left Agra at noon to go to Delhi after visiting the Taj Mahal. The trip was very tiring, long and difficult because the traffic as usual is horrendous. It is an amazing congestion with trucks, cars, bicycles,motor bikes, three wheelers, camels pulling carts with different kind of materials, cows crossing the road, and some other animals like goats, dogs, and elephants sometimes. What would have taken two hours took us six hours. Often times the traffic was completely stopped luckily it wasn't so sunny. Well before arriving in Delhi, we could see the poor peoples' shanties all along the highway in terrible conditions. It was heart breaking for me to see families in these conditions. What was moving to me was to see the children playing in the garbage and it seems normal and nobody seems to care. Maybe I am wrong.
Wow, the Taj Mahal is such an increiduble monument. What a magestic piece of art.
I love the architecture of this amazing structure, but I feel so sad the people in power seems to ignore the conditions of the needy people. It seems that thousand of year have passed and poor people are still suffering the same conditions as in the past.
