Met this kid at Bibi ka Maqbara during my recent visit to Aurangabad. I spotted him in the maqbara and asked to pose but he felt shy and posed awkwardly. Later on when i came out of the maqbara and taking few pics from the garden this guy was playing there. Climbing trees , jumping down. Surprisingly he called me and asked to shoot. I clicked a few snaps of him. He asked whether he can get the prints right away. But i said my camera doesn't have that feature. I asked him about his adreess so that i can post it to him. He said "Pahad ke peeche ek basti mein mera ghar hai". But as he never attended school, he could not tell me his adress nor the mobile no his father has. Still he was such a character with loads of attitude. Kinda carefree. I hope if i happen to go there again i ll definitely meet "Salmaan" and give him his photos.
It was built by Aurangzeb, the last influential Mogul emperor who imprisoned his father who constructed famous Taj Mahal. Someone called it poor man's Taj Mahal. He moved from Agra to a decent Deccan town of Aurangabad, which was named after him.
.. of taj. bibi ka maqbara build by shahjahan's grandson giving tribute to his mother. he actually wanted to supersede the beauty of taj mahal, but was cut short in funds by his father aurangzeb.
