You've asked a tricky question...Thanks Rahul! <br /><br />You've asked a tricky question, if only because it is so difficult to pin down to an answer. As Ghalib said, "aate hain ghaib se ye mazaamin khayal mein" - these thoughts descend into me from the heavens above...<br /><br />I usually start with an image that intrigues me and I take it from there: Who is is, why is she there, what is she doing ... Sometimes we continue the journey awhile, at times its an abrupt end :)Manreet Sodhi Someshwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566345149225306647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918251469825166150.post-71020865452854798582012-03-26T09:48:28.922+08:002012-03-26T09:48:28.922+08:00Thanks!Thanks!Manreet Sodhi Someshwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566345149225306647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918251469825166150.post-37953876070673810082012-03-24T14:11:29.196+08:002012-03-24T14:11:29.196+08:00one quick question Ma'm,

And yes...Thanks for sharing that tidbit Umashankar. And yes, The Taj Conspiracy will show you the Taj Mahal as it hasn't been seen before! Every piece pertaining to the monument's history, documentation, calligraphy, artwork and architecture as portrayed in the novel is accurate. I think you'll enjoy it.<br /><br />Certainly, the flag and identical numbers are more similarities. Another is in the famed Italian mozzarella - the cheese comes from buffalos who aren't native to Italy. These venerable beasts came all the way from India!

I was a loner and also since I didn't have many options, I used to frequently pay visits to that historical beauty. Looks like I'll be taken deep into its bowels now with the promised triology.<br /><br />Talking of Italy, two more striking similarities hit my mind. <br /><br />1. Italian flag is a 90 dgrees clockwise turn of the Indian counterpart.<br /><br />2. "I-T-A-L-Y" also starts with an "I" and has five letters in its name just as India.umashankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285261453961860341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918251469825166150.post-54881394994480404282012-03-21T14:12:51.501+08:002012-03-21T14:12:51.501+08:00Kahaani was a good movie...I watched it yesterday ...Kahaani was a good movie...I watched it yesterday only...nice to see your reviews on it...<br /><br />all your posts in the past...and now the back cover...I'm eagerly waiting for April... :OCYNOSUREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219551408297459967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918251469825166150.post-30553939301214852972012-03-21T13:04:30.074+08:002012-03-21T13:04:30.074+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Henry Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617392469113119215noreply@blogger.com
