I was just at Penn Station the other day and struck by the subway entry, advertising.
Something was fitting about the Taj Mahal being pictured above the subway entry.
Was it the notion that I was reminiscing the descent into the tombs of Noor Jahan? Could the Taj's pure white marble of Makrana, Rajastan, be the analogous to the white tile of the subway stair walls? New Yorkers descend these stairs to the filthy hot and smelly train platforms and tourists descend the Taj Mahal stairs to the wafting scent of roses that could potentially knock you out.
I digress...the advertisers couldn't have been that conceptual. An old post on "Incredible India"

as the designer who did this ad, we were thinking more along the line of: Instead of descending to the filthy hot and smelly train platform, you could be in India, descending on the Taj Mahal stairs to the scent of roses.
but I'm glad this ad tickled your brain enough to write a blog about it. :-)
