The Oprah Mahal



MY LIFE HAS BEEN A TAJ MAHAL.
-OPRAH WINFREY

What does that even mean??? Well… Here are some possible guesses of what’s in her mind…
Would you dare to spot out  the differences???

  1. She was born in 1631 (Ooh! She must be older than the oldest living turtle!)
  2. After Oprah’s birth, the fingers of the doctors and nurses were chopped so that they would not deliver another master piece like her.
  3. Her dad created her in loving memory of his 3rd wife.
  4. Around 20,000 people worked on her.
  5. 1000s of elephants were employed to transport materials required to construct her (Well... at least she doesn't look so heavy)
  6. She appears in different colours during different times of the day (Hmm... That explains 'the changing moods of women' stuff)
  7. She is a mausoleum.
  8. Some important studies reveal that she is sinking.
  9. She attracts about 2-4 million visitors annually with over 200,000 from overseas.
  10. She costs around 100 million American dollars (That may be true)
  11. She is one of the wonders of the world (I should agree to that!)
  12. The pollution is turning her skin yellow, which was originally white.
  13. Acid rain deteriorates her.
  14. The legendary musician A R Rahman has composed an Oprah Anthem, supposedly to make people aware of the importance of saving the great OW.
There are so much more possibilities to think of, as long as she doesn't cares to explain what she actually had in her mind!
Anyway, I'm happy that Oprah Winfrey at least cared to visit India. (And this, most probably, is going to be her last visit too!)
