Hoy en Ferrolanos por el Mundo, hemos tenido el placer de viajar… sin movernos del estudio, gracias a María Xosé Vázquez, que acaba de regresar de su reciente aventura por India, ese fascinante país del sur de Asia lleno de colores, cultura y vida. María José nos contó cómo recorrió varias ciudades emblemáticas: Delhi, la capital; Agra, hogar del majestuoso Taj Mahal; Jaipur, la colorida capital de Rajasthan; y Bombai, la bulliciosa metrópolis de 25 millones de habitantes. Aunque no llegaron hasta Varanasi, cada lugar les ofreció experiencias inolvidables y un vistazo a la diversidad cultural que caracteriza a India. Entre los recuerdos más mágicos, María José destacó: La sonrisa de la gente local, que pese a las dificultades demuestra alegría y hospitalidad. El imponente Fuerte Amber en Jaipur. La impresionante estación Victoria de Bombai y la forma en que los trenes se llenan de gente en movimiento constante. El colorido de Jaipur, sus telas y mercados que nos transportan a otra época. María José también nos recordó que India no es solo un país de contrastes económicos, sino también de felicidad y riqueza cultural, un lugar donde la vida se vive de manera diferente y donde los turistas se sienten siempre bienvenidos. Tras este viaje de nueve días con un grupo de 26 ferroalterranos, ya se respira la ilusión de futuros viajes: un circuito por Andalucía en marzo, Nueva York en Semana Santa, y destinos tan atractivos como Estambul, Cappadocia, Egipto o Escocia. Gracias a María José por acercarnos la magia de India y demostrarnos que viajar no solo abre destinos, sino también corazones. 💛 #FerrolanosViajeros #India #MaríaJoséVázquez #ViajesConEncanto #CulturaYColor #TajMahal #Mumbai #Jaipur #Delhi #Agra

Mike Yardley: Tingle time at the Taj Mahal, Agra

Iconic. Few world landmarks exemplify the full meaning of that word quite like the Taj Mahal. I've just enjoyed freshly communing with the wondrous masterpiece in Agra, as part of a private tour of Classic India with Wendy Wu Tours. Four hours drive from New Delhi, Agra is rough and ready in places, much like the driving standards on India's roads. As my delightful Wendy Wu Tours driver Mr Singh observed, “There are three golden rules when driving in India. You need a good horn, good brakes and good luck.” Before savouring the gleaming Taj, my Wendy Wu Tours guide Nadeem led us on an enlightening tour around Agra Fort. En-route, we passed a decrepit sandstone building that Nadeem remarked had become nicknamed the “Monkey House” by locals. Apparently a vast tribe of 200 Rhesus macaques inhabit the crumbling building, running riot on the adjoining road when they head out to find food. Agra Fort is a marvel, a mighty red sandstone fortress overlooking the Yamuna River. It was established by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century, who was a descendant of Genghis Khan. The sprawling fort served as a military base and a royal residence, as well as the seat of government when Agra was the capital of the Mughal Empire. The complex is a delight to explore, radiantly reflecting the architectural grandeur of the Mughal reign – a fusion of Persian and Indian design flourishes. Highlights include the Pearl Mosque, constructed by Shah Jahan. This tranquil and perfectly proportioned structure is made entirely of white marble. The splendid Palace of Mirrors (Sheesh Mahal), had its walls and ceilings inlaid with thousands of small mirrors. The fort also served as a prison and Nadeem led us to gaze at where Shah Jahān sadly spent the last eight years of life, in his gilded cage. Aurangzeb, his son and successor as emperor, incarcerated him there in 1658. At least Jahan could gaze across to his finest triumph, his sublime Taj Mahal, rising proudly on the horizon, around the river bend. Another headline sight at Agra Fort is the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah in Agra, India. Nicknamed the baby Taj, it's considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal. It was built 30 years earlier, for the father of the Mughal Empress Nur Jahan. The alarm clock was set for an early wake-up the following morning, to witness the Taj Mahal at sunrise. The last time I visited the Taj fourteen years ago, we timed it for sunset – but the crowd crush detracted from the experience. Wendy Wu Tours strongly recommended a sunrise visit – and they weren't wrong. There were barely a hundred people on site for the dawn of a new day and the absence of crowds enhances the encounter immeasurably. (Nor will you battling extreme heat.) After duly posing for photos on the marble bench immortalised by Princess Diana's visit, it was positively soothing to size up this colossal marble mausoleum from every angle and vantage point, as a yolky sunrise stamped its presence on proceedings. I felt lost in awe-inspired reflection in the ornamental gardens. Built as a memorial by Shah Jahan for his third wife, who died giving birth to their 14th child, it is arguably the world's greatest monument to love. The emperor was apparently so heartbroken by her death, his hair turned grey overnight. Construction of the monument began within 12 months, with the bulk of the building taking 8 years to complete. 20,000 people from India and Central Asia worked on the building, while specialists from Europe were brought in to produce the exquisite marble screens and inlay work. Much of the gold and precious stones were later looted by British soldiers. Following his death, Shah Jahan was buried here, alongside his third wife. There are so many touches to his masterpiece to admire. Look closely and you'll notice that the four soaring minarets are all subtly tilted away from the main building, so that they won't fall on it, in the event of a major earthquake. I love how the building was purposefully positioned pointing north, so that it is bathed in maximum sunlight from dawn to dusk, heightening the creamy lustre of the marble. And nothing detracts in the background. Built on a raised platform with its back to the river, the backdrop is only sky – a masterstroke in design, which adds to its timeless enchantment. It was striking how serious they are taking the threat of air pollution around the Taj mahal, with an enormous perimeter area, clamping down on vehicle use and the forced closure of factories in proximity to the monument. Previously, the Taj Mahal has been spruced up with an ancient face-pack recipe known as multani mitti. This blend of soil, cereal, milk and lime beautifies the skin. I must try it. They're very proud of all things Mughal in Agra so why not tuck into some Mughlai cuisine? This rich, meaty and aromatic culinary style blends Indian flavours with Persian, Turkish, and Central Asian influences. It is known for its creamy, rich gravies, elaborate dishes, and the liberal use of aromatic spices, almonds, cashews, dried fruits, and dairy products. Famous dishes chicken biryani, chicken korma and rogan josh. A decadent dessert steeped in Mughal Empire tradition is Shahi Tukda. Translating as royal bread, this version of bread pudding consists of crisp, fried bread slices soaked in sugar syrup and adorned with a creamy blend of milk, cornflour, spices, and nuts. Delicious! Great street snacks include peitha, a square sweet made from pumpkin and glucose and flavoured with rosewater, coconut or saffron. Also try gajak, a slightly spicy sesame-seed biscuit strip. I sampled some great local dining while staying at the Grand Imperial Hotel, in the heart of Agra. Standing proud since the early 1900s, this British colonial-era property with its soothing arches and colonnades and sprawling garden is a haven of elegant heritage and affordable luxury. It was built for the British as the Colonial Hotel and the property is steeped in period furnishings. This heritage gem gracefully merges historical charm with contemporary comfort. Every corner of the property reverberates with history's echoes and nods to ancient royalty, adorned with plush Lahori bricks, regal arches, and exquisite paintings. The sparkling swimming pool and lush gardens are a serene sanctuary to unwind the body, after a hot, sticky day of sightseeing. Hospitality is flawless and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the bargain accommodation rates. Strike it lucky and the hotel may well be hosting a bling-bling Indian wedding, while you're in-house. That is quite the spectacle! Delve into India with the award-winning tour specialists across Asia and beyond.

Taliban in Delhi | New US Ambassador to India | Mahindra's Big Split | A Ceasefire on Paper

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. 1. Trump's Gaza Gamble: A Ceasefire on Paper After over a year of war, Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire — brokered by Donald Trump. Hostages will be freed, troops pulled back, and prisoners exchanged. Netanyahu called it “a great day for Israel,” while Hamas urged guarantees of compliance. Talks in Egypt, with Qatar and Turkey mediating, sealed the deal. Trump may visit Israel soon, marking his first trip since moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. For now, the guns are quiet — but whether this peace holds is anyone's guess. 2. Taliban in Delhi: India's Risky Diplomatic Bet In a first since 2021, Taliban foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi is visiting India. Meetings with S Jaishankar and Ajit Doval are on the cards, along with a symbolic stop at Darul Uloom Deoband and the Taj Mahal. India hasn't recognized the Taliban regime but is opening channels anyway — focused on security, counter-terror, and trade. The visit needed a UN waiver, which New Delhi quietly secured. 3. America's New Face in Delhi The US finally has a new ambassador to India — Sergio Gor, confirmed alongside Paul Kapur for the South Asia desk. Both are Trump allies. But the relationship they inherit is tricky: tariffs, Russian energy tensions, and trade friction remain sore points. Still, for New Delhi, having a point of contact again brings relief — and clarity. 4. Mumbai's Sky Leap: The New Digital Airport PM Modi just opened Phase 1 of the ₹19,650-crore Navi Mumbai International Airport — India's first fully digital airport. AI-driven terminals, online baggage drop, and even a water taxi link make it a tech marvel. Set to handle 90 million passengers, it's Mumbai's fix for chronic air congestion. 5. Mahindra's Big Split: SUVs vs Tractors Mahindra & Mahindra may demerge its SUV, truck, and tractor divisions — and the numbers make the case. Profits have jumped sevenfold since FY21, with SUVs now driving 57% of revenue. From tractors to trailblazing SUVs, M&M's evolution could unlock major investor value. #TrumpCeasefire #GazaPeaceDeal #TalibanIndiaVisit #USIndiaRelations #NaviMumbaiAirport #MahindraSplit #IndiaNews #GlobalPolitics #TopOfTheMorning Learn more about your ad choices.

Neoborn Caveman unleashes a caveman-sized takedown of hatred's toxic grip on our fractured world—from Chinese botnets fueling Middle East rage to Eurovision boycotts turning art into a battlefield. We dissect the "spherical attack" on humanity: plastic-saturated clothes seeping into our bloodstreams, data-hoarding blood banks eyeing your DNA for 30 years, and air pollution blackening icons like Delhi's Red Fort and the Taj Mahal (spoiler: it's not your campfire's fault). But fear not—this isn't doom-scrolling; it's a rallying cry for radical positivity. Learn why almonds slash bad cholesterol for metabolic warriors like us, how Chaplin's Great Dictator speech still slays divisive triggers, and why music—like Sami Chohfi's globe-trotting anthems of connection—builds bridges where propaganda burns them. We champion sovereignty over social contracts no one signed, warn of financial whirlwinds dwarfing 2008, and arm you with tools to protect kids, pets, and your eternal worth. Hatred drains the soul; greatness refuels it. Tune in, unplug the machine, and remember: you're not alone in this extraordinary, ordinary world. Slurp, burp, and rise.Key TakeawaysYou're Built for Greatness: Your unique existence isn't random—embrace it as eternal fuel, untethered from wealth, norms, or globalist gears.Guard Your Sovereignty Fiercely: No registry owns your data—question blood banks hoarding DNA, reject the invisible machine siphoning your soul.Modern Life's a Slow Poison—Fight Back Naturally: Ditch processed junk for God-made gems like organic almonds and green tea; they heal guts, hearts, and barriers against the plastic plague.The Spherical Siege Is Real: From noise-polluted streets to unlivable air turning monuments black, we're under 360° assault—but logic (not "trust the science") exposes the culprits.Brace for Unprecedented Turbulence: Next three years eclipse 2008's bubble burst; thrive without governments by trading, supporting kin, and listening to the good word.Evil Shouts, Good Whispers Louder: More souls are gold than grime; drown bots and agitprop in cat purrs, prayers, and nature walks.Reject the Parasites, Claim Your Throne: WEF, Club of Rome, Shite Gates? Nah—we're sovereign cogs who opt out. History's real lessons (not curricula lies) prove society spins sans their strings.Chapters00:00 Embracing Individual Value and Positivity02:53 The Dangers of Hatred and Division05:47 Sovereignty and Personal Data Concerns08:44 The Impact of Modern Life on Health11:40 The Spherical Attack on Humanity15:04 Anticipating Future Challenges17:05 Health Insights and Nutritional Advice19:05 The Role of Music and Art in Society21:28 The Influence of Hatred in Society26:38 The Power of Positivity and Connection30:30 Cultural Commentary and Social Responsibility34:01 The Importance of Unity Over Division36:49 Recognizing Greatness Within Us38:16 Environmental Concerns and Responsibility41:58 Awakening to True History and SovereigntySound Bites"You were designed to be great...

What sparks a lifelong love of travel? For some, it starts in childhood. For Melissa, co-host of Ladies Who Travel, it was different. She did not travel overseas until she was an adult, and her journey from novice to explorer shows how travel can shape a life. In this month's Stamped episode, Melissa shares the moments that defined her: wandering Sydney at 19 with a paper map, the pull of “The Beach,” and a three-month solo round-the-world trip at 26. That journey transformed her confidence. “There's something about travelling alone that makes me feel on top of the world.”She brings to life magical moments, such as watching her daughter experience snow for the first time in Prague, and explains why Thailand keeps calling her back. Perhaps most revealing is her observation about landmark attractions: after visiting the Taj Mahal with a group, not a single person named it their highlight. Instead, everyone cherished human connections. Whether you are a seasoned traveller or just beginning, this conversation offers insight into creating meaningful travel experiences. Listen now, then join our "Ladies Who Travel" Facebook group or explore our tours specifically designed for women over 50.⭐️ Guest - Melissa Delaware from "The Queensland Travel Guide"

En 2020, Thomas Naïm va confronter son trio aux compositions du maître Jimi Hendrix et enregistrer l'album Sounds of Jimi. L'idée de départ n'est pas de reprendre les titres d'Hendrix tel quel mais de trouver pour chaque morceau une esthétique plus personnelle, et à l'exception de trois titres chantés par Hugh Coltman et Célia Kameni, de privilégier l'approche instrumentale. L'album accueillera également en invités Erik Truffaz à la trompette et Camille Bazbaz à l'orgue. En 2022, il retourne en studio avec son trio augmenté de l'organiste/pianiste de Marc Benham pour enregistrer, sous la houlette du réalisateur grand angle Daniel Yvinec, On the Far Side, un album consacré à ses propres compositions dont la sortie est prévue pour février 2023. Thomas Naïm y retrouve ses premières amours, le Jazz, qu'il mêle à ses influences de toujours la pop, le rock psychédélique, les bandes originales de films et mille autres choses.

At the same time, the community is ambitiously constructing grand temples in Sydney and Melbourne using nearly 3,000 tonnes of marble, the same variety used to build the Taj Mahal. In this episode, we hear from devotees, youth scholars, and temple leaders about how a modest community, numbering almost 6,000 according to the last census, is shaping a grand legacy.

The first single Tomboy grew out of Sharp and co-writer Emily Kopp jokingly trading photos from their tomboy childhoods – an idea that carries over into the song's lovingly nostalgic video (a second video has been created from photos submitted by fans). Sharp has been significantly shaped by her long involvement with Songwriting with Soldiers, a non-profit that pairs veterans, first responders and law enforcement with pro songwriters to create music about whichever part of their experience they choose to share.

A 320km (200 mile) controlled zone was placed around the country's north Atlantic coast. Fishermen also had to stick to quotas. But, according to Canada, some boats from the European Union were catching far more turbot than had been agreed. As a warning, the coastguard chased off one Spanish trawler, shooting machine gunfire over the bow and arresting the crew. But Spanish officials were furious and denied any wrongdoing.

Ten years ago, on 6 July the Greek people voted against the terms of a financial bailout which included raising taxes and slashing welfare spending. Greece owed €323bn to various countries and banks within Europe. Its banks were closed. A quarter of the population and half of Greece's young people were unemployed.The morning after the vote, Euclid Tsakalotos was brought in to replace Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. His predecessor had accused European leaders of “terrorism” in their handling of the crisis. Parachuted in to last-ditch talks with angry European leaders, Euclid Tsakalotos describes to Josephine McDermott the make-or-break 17-hour summit in Brussels. He reveals that when Angela Merkel, the leader of Greece's biggest lender Germany, said she was leaving the room because she could not accept what was on the table, Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, actually locked the door to stop her leaving and force an agreement to be reached.

In 1982, Argentine geneticist Victor Penchaszadeh was living in exile in New York when he received a call that would change the course of his career. Two founding members of the campaign group, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, were asking for his help to find their kidnapped grandchildren. Between 1976 and 1983, Argentina was under military rule. During this period, thousands of mainly young, left-wing people were forcibly disappeared - taken to clandestine detention centres, where many were tortured and killed. Hundreds of babies were born in captivity. Their mothers were later murdered, and the children were often given to families with ties to the regime - and never told their true identities. The Grandmothers travelled the world, desperately asking scientists one question: Without the presence of the parents, could their blood be used to identify their lost grandchildren? Dr Penchaszadeh was the first to say yes. He tells Vicky Farncombe how that answer led to the creation of the world's first national genetic data bank—and the eventual reunion of 140 grandchildren with their real families.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.
