  Right now I had a conversation that is making me think about things. The way most of us will wait for things to happen … and will live in that belief. So there’s this guy who said his parents had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and had gone to Egypt, to see the pyramids and had done a Nile cruise. And the conversation veered towards travel and tourism and he said he had never visited the Taj Mahal. I acted my usual shocked How-can-you-not-visit-the-Taj self and recommended a trip immediately. To which he said that he was waiting for the ONE TRUE LOVE of his life and until he found her, he would not see it. He also said, and I quote, " Its like the beauty of the whole place...will be like a blow to the solar plexus, making me acutely aware that I haven’t found true love...So I want to go there with somebody who I am in love with, and who loves me.. . " *sigh* I remember the first time I had seen the Taj. It was with a colleague/friend and his cousin brother on a bleak February morning.
We’d tanked his Maruti Zen and had gone over for a day. There have been several trips since. None of them have been even vaguely romantic. Funny thing is, I did not wait for the ONE TRUE LOVE (still undiscovered) of my life to take me there. If I did, I’d possibly be waiting still :-) In three years from now, I will make the Nile trip, all by myself :-)
