Hey guys, go easy on Ravi Gokul, who is (self-confessed in a prior post) only ten years old.

Chennai is biggest capitol of Tamil Nadu. It has many places of fame and fort is there. It is hot all the time but hot spicy thali causes breeze and feels better. Don't go there if you want to meet midrangam player who was british, but now has hot breeze.

Ravi - what would be much better for you and us, is if you look at some questions that members are asking, and if you really know the answer without looking it up on the internet or a book, and you have in your own experience visited the place a member is asking about, please answer those threads.

Do not start any more threads telling us about places which you have researched and like to write your sentences here. Most people already know this sort of thing. What you know from your own experience is far more important to members who have never been to certain places.

By the way, I think Humayan's Tomb is in Delhi - and I know this from actually visiting it a couple of times!

No not 10 ..... 'just 10' - there's a difference ya know. & frankly, if this factoid style thread started to become any 'more prominent' on this forum - we all might finally learn something & then of course close our accounts. Welcome Ravigokul 'just 10' years old.

It doesn't really matter what age people are (although there might be something in the rules, perhaps for some legal reason), what matters is that they are interested in conversation. That is what a forum is about.

That's all.

Any conversation is always welcome, irrespective of the participant's age. The point is whether this is meaningful or not. Isn't that all ?

Hello Ravigokul,
I’m going to show you around Arga with the use of virtual reality photos.
The way these 360 degree VR tours work is that you can click and drag on the photo to turn them and see in any direction, and use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

In the top corner is a satellite map that you can zoom in on, and make it larger by clicking the map button on the bottom right. The map has what’s called radar that shows your location and the direction that you are looking in. there are also hotspots on the map that when clicked on will take you to that new location.

Also these are best view in the full screen mode; you will find that button along the bottom right. Here’s the start of the tour:
http://indiavrtours.com/agra/taj_mahal.html

I hope you enjoy these and learn a little more about the beauty around Agra.

I don't think Ravi is interested in what anybody else has to say.

Maybe a troll, even. Not that we mind a good joke (well, I don't) at our expense, but the site has attracted a few piss takers recently.
