A friend of mine, Venkatesh “Minky” Rao drove 48-hours nonstop from Delhi to Bangalore in his dinky little maruti through the incredible sands of Rajasthan and the forests of Madhya Pradesh.
The highlight was the majestic mist-shrouded Taj Mahal viewed from the banks of the Yamuna. Being a Tuesday, the crowds of tourists were thankfully absent, making that privilege all the more sacred and personal.
