Hi, it’s Jill. As I continued our tour in New Delhi, I was still curious about the culture and mix of sounds, smells, modes of transportation and history. It's one of those things you never get used to, but are constantly in amazement about. My guide took us to Humayun's Tomb; a magnificent monument built in red sandstone. As I entered the complex, I thought "Wow, this looks like a miniature Taj M...
