Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal, an epitome of love, is actually a mausoleum. Standing majestically on the

banks of River Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is synonymous to love and romance. Taj Mahal was
constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife and queen. The
name “Taj Mahal” was derived from the name of Shah Jahan’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal, which
means crown of palaces.
Taj Mahal represents the finest architectural and artistic achievement. The mausoleum
was constructed of pure white marble. The white marble is inlaid with semi-precious stones
(including jade, crystal, lapis lazuli, amethyst and turquoise) that form the intricate designs. Its
central dome reaches a height of 240 feet (73 meters). The dome is surrounded by four smaller
domes. Four slender towers, or minarets, stand at the corners. Inside the mausoleum, an
octagonal marble chamber adorned with carvings and semi-precious stones house the false tomb
of Mumtaz Mahal. Her actual remains lie below, at garden level.
Taj Mahal shows shades of magnificent beauty at different time during the day. At dawn
when the first rays of the sun hits the dome of this epic monument, it radiates like a heavenly
pinkish palace. At daytime, when the sky is bright and clear, the Taj Mahal looks milky white.
At a moonlit night when the full moon rays fall on the glistening white marble, the cool moon
rays reflect back from the white marble and give the Taj Mahal a tinge of blue color. It’s simply
breathtaking! With such beauty, no wonder that Taj Mahal becomes one of the the Seven
Wonders of the World.

Assalamu’alaikum Alia,
It was very interesting to read your letter about yourself and your hometown. I would really like
to be your pen friend.
I’m a sixteen-year-old school student from Johor Bahru in Malaysia. Actually I attend an
Islamic boarding school just outside the city but my family live in Kuala Lumpur. My eldest
sister is a medical doctor. She will get married soon. My younger brother is an elementary school
student in KL but he often writes to me via email.
My favorite subjects are social sciences. I like history very much; it helps me know more how
different countries existed in the past. At school we are supposed to use English at all times, even
when we are in the dormitory, so we have become quite fluent although sometimes we slip back
into Malay, which is our mother tongue.
As for hobbies, I’m really into songs and music. My favorite singer is Yusuf Islam whose
former name was Cat Steven. He’s so cool! Another singer I like is Maher Zain with his religious
songs. My favorite Malay singer is of course Siti Nurhaliza. I also like watching movies,
especially comedies. The actor I like best is Tom Cruise.
I’m really into books. I like reading novels and short stories, mostly by Malay authors who you
probably haven’t heard of. I like some writers in English, like JK Rowling and Indonesian
writers too, like Andrea Hirata and Ahmad Fuadi. My dream, when I’m older, is to be a writer of
science fiction books set in the distant future.
I’d really love to come to Indonesia some day. I heard that it has the largest number of Muslims
of any country. A book that I’ve just read mentions that
there are some magnificent places to visit, such as, Bali, Sulawesi,
Papua and Borneo! What about you, do you want to visit
my country?

Wassalam, Saidah

MEETING AN IDOL

Afgan has always been my favourite singer. I had always been thinking of how I would feel
when I met him. Then I was suddenly hit by lightning when I found out Afgan was coming to
town for a concert in a local auditorium. A day before the concert, there would be a meet-and-
greet event at a local radio station. Feeling excited, I packed all my Afgan’s CDs to get his
signature at the event.
On that bright and sunny Saturday morning, the radio station was full of Afganism (that’s how
Afgan’s fans are called). They sat on the chairs prepared inside the radio station’s lobby. Some
stood in rows in the front yard of the radio station. A spot inside a lobby was prepared with a
mini stage for Afgan’s singing performance and a table for Afgan to sign Afganism’s
memorabilia. Finally, after about 40 or 50 minutes wait, Afgan showed up from inside the radio
station. He smiled and waved to all Afganism who had been waiting excitedly saying, “Good
morning. How are you all?”. The crowd went crazy. The shouts sounded like a mix of “Fine,
thank you” and screams of Afgan’s name.
Then, he started the event by singing his hit single “Dia dia dia”. Afganisme went even
crazier; they sang along with him throughout the song. Of course, I did too. I couldn’t take my
eyes off this amazing singer who had released three albums. When he was finished with the
song, the host announced that it was time for autographing the memorabilia. I prepared my CDs
and began to stand in the line. When I arrived at the table, I was speechless. It was unreal just
seeing him that close. I thought it was really cool seeing him like that because he really just felt
like a normal person, which was awesome. He asked my name so that he could write it on the
CD to say “To Mia, Love Afgan”. He was also very friendly, so I didn’t feel too nervous when I
had a chance to take pictures with him. He was just an amazing person. And it was the best day
ever!

Once upon a time there was a glossy black and yellow striped garden snake. It was bored
with its existence, lying curled up stiff during the winter and dragged every which way during
the summer by annoying children and puttering adults.
One August evening as it lay in the dark, It said to itself,” I am beautiful glossy black and
yellow striped garden snake, but with a little effort on my part I could free myself and slither
over to nearby woods, where I could become a beautiful glossy black and yellow striped serpent,
king of the beast, and rule over my domain. I would be feared by my enemies and loved by my
friends and my progeny would endure forever.”
So each night it worked and worked at undoing itself from the garden faucet until the night
came when it was finally free, Very stealthily it crept out of the garden, slithering silently down
the street until it entered the woods, where it was immediately hit by a roller coaster.
