More snow. Means less cold. Icicle tree! Who is this handsome guy? Well, may be not a guy...Hint of a bosom, Muslin transparent tunic pleated in front, royal princely turban. Not a prince, she is Empress Nur Jahan, seen here as the great hunter that she was. Head over to my bio link to hear more about her. (Last call - we are moving to the life of a 12th century king next week!) . . . . . . . : . . . . . #india #southasia #history #mughal #mughalempire #womenshistory #nurjahan #jahangir #shahjahan #seventeenthcentury Hate to make a mess of pristine snow but if you don’t make a mess, how will you have fun?! We are having a snow day Saturday. :) I have walked past this sign so many times but only truly noticed it now that they have erected a brand new sign and taken out the old one. At the intersection of Adams and Wabash… #route66 If you can forget the politics surrounding it for a moment, Wrigley Field really has a charm about it. PS. Notice the advertisement. Mirza Nur-ud-din Beig Muhammad Khan Salim. This portrait painted in 1600 shows a man in his prime, probably good-looking seared cross-legged while thoughtfully looking away from the portraitist. In five years, he would become the king of kings of one of the largest empires in the world, a person for whom the British were mere firangi traders that he couldn’t even remember their names. This painting does not show his alcohol or opiate addiction, or his love for the beloved mangoes of Hindustan or adoration for his dearly departed father. But we talk about all this in our latest episode, episode 6. Head over to www.masalahistory.com. (Link in bio.) Comment, subscribe, and share your thoughts on the pod! New pod is here!! Emperor Jahangir loved alcohol, opium, hunting (shikar), and, like all good South Asians, mangoes. His numerous experiences with all the above, his beloved wife Nur Jahan, his son, the future emperor Shah Jahan, and more were written down by him in his autobiography Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri. In this podcast, we discuss the colorful pleasure-seeking life of this Mughal emperor - a man who was selfish, addicted, humorous, and generous, all at once. To listen, check link in bio! (We are also on iTunes as Masala History.) . . . . . . . . #podcast #indianhistory #historypod #india #mughal #jahangir Who wore it better? Bougainvillea or the Wall? #viejosanjuan The dragon fly that flew into my shot and made it perfect. I didn’t even see it until I started browsing through pictures once we got back to the hotel! #elyunquerainforest
