hi!
We just came back from Taj Mahal. Let me just say OMG! I literally think that heaven is a place on earth. If I die I want my husband to build a building like that for me and bury me in there. It was so amazing in there. Did you know that it took 21 years to build? That is a long time. It was rumoured that Shah Jahan was going to build another building but in black on the other end of the river, but that was just a rumoure. Right now are we sitting in a shisha bar, relaxing and enjoying life.
For you that dont know what a shisha bar is, a shisha bar is a place where they offer a type of water pipe, offend called a Hookah. The concept of hookah actually originated in India, only then available for the wealthy ones. It was very popular during the Mughal rule, which was in the period from 1526 to 1757. The hookah has since become less popular; however, it is once again garnering attention, such in cafés like this. The use of hookah from ancient times in India was not only a custom, but a matter of prestige. Rich and landed classes would smoke hookahs.
There is also tobacco smoked in hookahs in many villages as per traditional customs. Smoking tobacco-molasses is now becoming popular amongst the youth in India. There are several chain clubs, bars and coffee shops like the one we are in now in India that offer a wider variety of mu‘assels, including non-tobacco versions.
