THE AMAZING TAJ MAHAL IN INDIA

Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. It was built by a
Muslim Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife at Agra.

Taj Mahal is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal. The
mausoleum is a part of a vast complex comprising of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a
mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the right), and several other palatial buildings. The Taj
is at the farthest end of this complex, with the river Jamuna behind it.

The Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four corners
truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural design uses the interlocking
arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the
main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and a symmetry of
architectural elements.

Its central dome is fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height of 213 feet. It is
flanked by four subsidiary domed chambers. The four graceful, slender minarets are 162.5
feet each. The central domed chamber and four adjoining chambers include many walls and
panels of Islamic decoration.

Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond
adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of
the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when
viewed from across the Jamuna river.

HOW TO MAKE CARBONARRA SPAGHETTI

You will need…

 200 g dried spaghetti
 2 tbsp olive oil
 6 bacon slices, chopped
 2 egg yolks
 35 g parmesan cheese
 4 tbsp cream
 salt and pepper
  2 tbsp parsley, chopped
 2 saucepans
 1 wooden spoon
 1 colander
 1 bowl
 1 spoon
Prepare a pan of boiling water and season with salt. Place the pasta into the pan and push it
down with your wooden spoon, so that all the spaghetti is submerged under the water. Add
half of the oil and cook for roughly 7-10 minutes. Meanwhile, into a warmed second pan add
the olive oil, then the chopped bacon. Stir and let it render, stirring for a few minutes. To
render simply means to melt the fat. Then turn the heat off. Place the egg yolks into a bowl,
then the cream and the parmesan cheese. Combine it all together. When the pasta is cooked,
transfer it into a colander, then place the colander back on top of the saucepan to drain the
excess liquid. Once the pasta is thoroughly drained, quickly place it back into the pan of
bacon fat and stir well to coat the pasta. Then pour in the egg mixture and mix thoroughly. It
is very important to use the warmth of the pasta to cook the egg yolks. But do not overheat as
you'll end up with scrambled egg! After mixing thoroughly, season with salt and pepper and
add the chopped parsley. Use the tongs to place a generous helping onto each serving plate.
