WONDER OF THE WORLD "THE TAJ MAHAL " ( Article )


My dear children, most of you must have heard of "Taj Mahal", one of the seven wonders of the world and many of you must have visited Taj. Taj Mahal is an extremely beautiful building built of pure white marble , it is located at the city of Agra in the state of U.P, India .Taj Mahal was built in the 17th century by Mughal emperor Shahjahan in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal ."TAJ MAHAL" means crown of palaces , it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site .


The construction of Taj Mahal was started in 1632 and was completed in 1653 .It took 22 years to complete the building .The main architect was Ustad Ahmad Lahouri. The design of this building is a fusion of Islamic, Hindu and Persian architecture.The height of the building is 71 meters. Twenty thousand of craftsmen, artisans and workers worked day and night to transform the emperor's dream into reality. It is situated on the banks of river Yamuna. The emperor spent 32 million rupees at that time (17th century) for the construction of this building. 




When you enter Taj's compound, you can't believe on your eyes that it is real. It's beauty is so divine, that you can't express it in words. You just are able to say "WOW"! One's eyes get stuck on the Taj. 




You can't take your eyes off the Marble Glory! If you see Taj in the moonlight you will find it shining like a jewel. When the moonlight falls on the white marble structure it's beauty is beyond belief. 


Tourists from all over the world come to see the Taj Mahal. Among them are Presidents of many countries, leaders, big celebrities and artistes. 
The emperor Shahjahan loved his wife Mumtaz Mahal very much. She was an extremely beautiful lady that is why the emperor named her Mumtaz Mahal. The word 'Mumtaz' means 'Unique'. The queen died after giving birth to one of her children. Shahjahan was in deep shock after losing his beloved wife. It is said that due to sadness the emperor's hair turned white in one night. 


After Queen's death  Shahjahan decided to build this tomb at the place where Mumtaz Mahal was buried. After the death of emperor he was buried besides the grave of his queen in Taj Mahal. 




The immortal love of an emperor gave this world a marvelous piece of architectural beauty and a splendid monument of love.

The Clever Monkey and The Crocodile ( Moral Story)




 Once there was a  big jamun tree  on the bank of a river .The tree was  home for many monkeys . Monkeys were very fond of  sweet, ripe and delicious jamuns (purple colored sweet fruit) of that tree .  Among those monkeys was a monkey named ' Pintu. He was very naughty. One day Pintu was swinging on the tree  and singing a song . He saw a crocodile in the water . The crocodile said to the monkey, "You sing so well, your voice is sweet and melodious . "  Pintu was so pleased to hear this. He said, "I have a sweet voice because I eat the sweet fruits of this tree , would you like to taste some ?". He threw some jamuns towards the crocodile which he tasted , "Wow what a delightful fruit it is ! You are so good , thank you so much for giving me these tasty fruits.''                          
Next day the crocodile came again and Pintu gave him fruits to eat . Soon the crocodile made this his routine to go there and eat the jamuns . Sometimes Pintu gave him some fruits for his wife too. Crocodile's wife ate those fruits and said to the crocodile, "These fruits are so delicious! The monkey eats these fruits daily so his flesh must be very tasty. Specially his heart. Now I want to eat that monkey's heart. If you want to see me happy then bring the heart of the monkey for me".
                               
                             
Next morning, crocodile came  and said, " Dear friend, my wife is so happy to receive your gift of fruits and she has invited you to our home for lunch. Monkey said, " But how can I go there, I cannot swim". Crocodile answered, " Don't worry! I will carry you on my back.
The crocodile carried him on his back and when they reached in the middle of the river, the wicked crocodile tried to drown the monkey in the river. The monkey became scared and said, " Are you trying to kill me?". " Yes I want to kill you.", the crocodile said rudely. He was totally a changed creature now. " But why?", the terrified monkey asked. " I want to kill you because I want your heart for my wife as she wants to eat it". Though the monkey was scared but he did not lose courage.''I must do something to save my life'' he thought. He said to the crocodile, "You don't need to kill me for that. We monkeys can keep our heart outside our body. We can survive without our heart. I have kept my heart in my tree house. You take me there and I will give my heart to you. It will be my pleasure,  after all you are my friend!" 
As soon as they reached near the river bank , the monkey jumped from the crocodile's back and at once climbed up the tree. He said, " You liar! You have deceived me!  I tell you the truth, I have not kept my heart outside . How can any one live without his heart ? Now go away and never show your face to me again!"
Moral of the story-Never lose courage

My dear children, do you know which is the 'Fastest Dog' in the world' ?It is Greyhound.
This dog is also known as 'the world's fastest couch potato.The main reason to own this dog is to use it for the dog race.It has long powerful legs , slim strong body, wide chest and flexible spine . All these qualities make it wonderful racing dog and fastest dog too .Greyhound can run with a speed of 18 meters per second or 59 feet per second or 63 kilometers per hour. It can amazingly accelerate it's speed to 70 kilo meters per hour.Greyhound's racing was first introduced in England and United States during 1920.

                                                                     image source-tempabay.com
When the Greyhound is retired from racing it is kept as a family pet in homes . This dog is a wonderful pet .Greyhound tends to chase small moving things like balls or moving toys .The life span of this  is 10-13 years. It is gentle,loving, brave and intelligent dog. It feels uncomfortable when some one talks or behaves rudely with him. He is a well behaved and well mannered dog.
