After the second round winners were announced for the Software design category we had some free time because we didn't make it to the second round. So we decided to spend the evening to visit this place called the Red Fort in Agra. Well! it is a big ass fort made with Red Sand stones and some buildings inside are made of White marbles, some walls were about 100 feet tall and so on. Tour guide explained lot of it's history and details. Everything sound interesting and amazing. As the guide explained the area opened for tourists is only about 10% of the full size of the fort. Another 15% is under restoration and the balance area is occupied by the Indian Army. It's an interesting place to have an Army Base.

View of the Taj Mahal and the Yamuna River was really nice from the red fort. And this is the first time I herd the news about a Black Taj Mahal. Well! it was not built. Only planned. Story says that after king Shah Jahan finished the white Taj Mahal with white marbles for his his wife he wanted to build one for his name on the other side of the river in Black Marbles. Interesting.

Interesting fact that king Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his own son for the last 7 years of his life. Reason! spending too much money to build great things.

Amazing thing in thing building is that the kings seat was not visible from any angle because it was covered with the pillars.	this is where the king Shah Jahan use to sit to look at the Taj Mahal in the last seven years of his live. He was imprisoned by his own son in this tower.
