This is another happy incident that happened in the end of March, my old friend from school came to visit me. He was so adamant that he wanted to see Taj Mahal. So for the second time I had to ride overnight to Agra. The ride in the night and early morning is also unforgettable as the Venus star moved from one horizon to other across the clear sky as a sign of rising sun. Although we were cruising through the Express way which is unidirectional and needed no additional pointer for direction, watching the guide in the sky 'the Hunter' in the midnight was thrilling. The cold drift chilled us to the bone, and we were afraid we will get frozen before we reached there. But all the tiredness of the sleepless ride vanished by the sight of the world wonder illuminated by the sharp yellow streaks of light from the rising sun. The marble tower imbibed all the colors and turned into a golden hue. The return journey in the scorching heat at noon was again eccentrically wonderful. We had to stop every 50 km to take rest. In the midway we slept for half an hour in front of a closed shop. By Gods blessing we reached Delhi safely.
