The poor man's Taj

In these days of recession everyone understands cost-cutting. But is this a new phenomenon?
When Aurangzeb tried to outdo his father, I guess his empire was already in recession. So, is the Bibi-ka-Maqbara a cheaper version of the Taj? Isn't that strange? Usually, if you want to outdo a previous attempt you would do better than the first. But then imitations are never as good as the originals, are they?

Just saw Ellora caves & Kailasha temple

Huge caves. Massive dedication. Whenever I see these Architectural marvels one thought always comed to mind - 'These (God) bhaktas must be crazy (in the devotional sense)'. Without the humungous amount of faith & patience ther is no way you can keep beating you head, oops tools for centuries against sheer rocks. But these monuments to man's will power have stood the test of time.
Enough cliched philosophy...
Soumit was feeling hungry after such a heavy diet of holes in the mountain, so we stopped on the way back for some food.
