Humayun died in 1556, and his widow Hamida Banu Begam, also known as Haji Begam, commenced the construction of his tomb in 1569, fourteen years after his death. It is the first distinct example of proper Mughal style, which was inspired by Persian architecture.
The tomb proper stands in the centre of a square garden, divided into four main parterres by causeways (charbagh), in the centre of which ran shallow water-channels.
The high rubble built enclosure is entered through two lofty double-storeyed gateways on the west and south.
A baradari (pavilion) occupies the centre of the eastern wall and a hammam (bath chamber) in the centre of northern wall.
The square red sandstone double-storeyed structure of the mausoleum with chamfered corners rises from a 7-m. high square terrace, raised over a series of cells, which are accessible through, arches on each side.
Humayun's tomb which set up a new vogue, the crowning achievement of which is the Taj at Agra. There is also a somewhat common human impetus behind these two edifices-one erected by a devoted wife for her husband and the other by an equally or more devoted husband for his wife.

Certain nooks and corners of the late Emperors resting place evoked certain emotions which I have tried putting down in verse!

Landour derived from the name of the Welsh town Llanddowror, is reminiscent of a quaint old Wels/English countryside.
The cantonment retains the old world charm with frayed roads fringed with a proilferation of pine ,radiant with unfamiliar blossoms,a woody whiff in the cool clean draught and an abundance of benign faces.

Located at a nondescript corner of Saket Delhi the Garden of Five Senses was indeed a treat to the senses- the resplendent array of colors ,the breeze whispering through the wind chimes,the light fragrance of flowers wafting through the late evening air,the tantalizing food and a number of flurry creatures to caress!

Bedouin Travel narrates the sojourns of a city dweller caught in the meshes of a demanding city life and yet cant stop the pulsating "bedouin" soul within which compels it to don the backpack and set sail to a land untrodden and on a road less travelled !
