Hello Pauline and KALEIDOSKOPE Team :-)

I love reading about countries all over the world!
The first thing we learned at our history lessons was that INDIA was called "the Perl of The British Crown", due to its beauty and riches.

A land of wonderful legends and fairy talles! One of ther most beautiful place I very much dream onces to see is Taj MaHal!




The colours of the Taj

Taj Mahal changes its moods with the seasons and the different times of the day. At dawn, the marble has a delicate bloom in shell pink, by noon it glitters majestically white, turning to a soft pearly grey at dusk. On full-moon away against the star-spangled sky. Monsoon clouds give it a moody blue tint and it appears and disappears like a mirage in the drifting mists of winter.

It can be solid and earthbound, fragile and ethereal, white, amber, grey and gold. The many faces of Taj Mahal display the seductive power of architecture at its best.

Dear Pauline and Georgios,

I am so happy that you have honoured the mother country Bharat (i.e. India) on its 60th birthday.  Fantastic job with the celebrations!

As a second generation Canadian, I am part of the diaspora.  Yet, I keep in touch with the news and increasingly marvel at India's economic and political growth.

On this day, I cannot help but reflect upon the difficult times of the 1947 partition.  The end of British rule gave birth to two nations, but at a terrible cost.  The inter-communal violence at that time took up to a million lives, making the situation in Iraq today look like a walk in the park...

I am sure that Indians, Pakistanis, and all concerned hope for peaceful coexistance and cooperation in the future.  The subcontinent is home to 1.5 billion people, and its ability to grow and prosper will dictate much of the world's direction in the years to come.

Om Shanti, Om Shanti, Om Shanti.  Peace and Prosperity to all.

Thank you so much for bringing us this wonderful kaleidoscope.....I have several Indian friends and it is good to have a little more knowledge about their country.

Blessings, Ann
