BookASmile with RTI mobilised 500 less privileged students from 19 cities to a flight tour of Taj Mahal and FatehpurSikri

Mumbai, September 29^th, 2017:  BookASmile, the charity initiative of India’s largest online entertainment ticketing platform BookMyShow, in collaboration with Round Table India(RTI) had arranged a tour ‘Flight of Fantasy’to Delhi and Agra to visit the Taj Mahal and FatehpurSikri

The sight of the majestic and enthralling Taj Mahal standing tall on the banks of Yamuna, a walk on the pathway beside the reflecting pool and fountains, all the way to the mausoleum crafted in marble and semi previous stones and a narration that unfold the pages from history formed an exciting and memorable tour for each of the 500 less fortunate students from 22 cities. The breathtaking splendour of Taj will remain engraved in their memories for a lifetime.

The tour of   FatehpurSikri covered a visit to several important monuments. A visit to these magnificent buildings with their intricate and scientifically accomplished architecture, presented an insight into the richness of Indian culture and heritage. An exposure to these was an enriching experience for the students.

FarzanaCamaBalpande, Head – BookASmile says, “ I Believe in Love surviving Death into Eternity.” The Taj Mahal is the epitome of these wordings. It took me 25 years of wishing to see the Taj Mahal before I actually got around to going there and when I finally did, I was overwhelmed by its presence and beauty! At BookASmile we thrive on creating memorable experiences for those who are not as fortunate as us. A visit to one of the Wonder’s of the World and our country’s most beautiful monument of Love is the perfect way to celebrate World Tourism Day. This is one such experience that we hope will live in the minds and hearts of the 500 kids that we are sending from different corners of India to visit The Taj Mahal and FatehpurSikri.

"We are delighted to work with BookASmile for this initiative”.Since last 8 years Round Table has been organizing Flight of fantasy but on a smaller scale. This year due to BookASmile’s support RTI has been able to take this annual event to new heights. Out of these, Round Table India (RTI) alone helped mobilise 500 less fortunate children from 22 different cities. While the visit to the majestic Taj Mahal was a memorable tour, the flight journeyexcited the children all the more. “We more importantly hope that through our joint efforts, we were able to create a positive longlasting impression on children.”
