The Taj Mahal security guards insisted that hula hoops were not allowed on premises. I tried to convince them by spinning on the spot, but despite a few laughters from the men in uniform, we were denied. Not to be thwarted, Ajit found a hostel with a rooftop restaurant that had a distance view of the Taj. We moved some tables and chairs around to create the video you see here. Thanks to our fellow backpackers for braving the hoop for us.
