…in the words of the damned and the curious.
You walk through the arched gate. Left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot. Slowly making your way through a maze of worn steps and equally worn tourists.
The hot sun beats down on the back of your neck as you find yourself rationing whatever's left of the water bottle you picked up from the shop by the entrance.
You look up.
In front of you stands Humayan's Tomb. Looming and loud.
Red sandstone and white marble stretch like a hallucination in the heat haze.
A mirage.
This isn’t just a tomb—it’s a love letter to a dead emperor, scrawled across centuries by a mourning wife and a thousand forgotten artisans.
The symmetry is almost violent. Too perfect. Like God himself had sketched the blueprint. Birds circle overhead like drones. Mughal ghosts watch you walk along the grounds.
Some kid tries to sell you a guidebook. You tell him you don’t need to read about the place—you can feel it crawling under your skin, through your boots, scratching your brain.
This isn’t a tourist stop. It’s a monument to madness, to empire, and to romance that has since outlived its body.
