In this episode of Footloose By Shre and Eish, Mumbai-based journalist Waleed Hussain walks the audience through his journey from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri. He followed the footsteps of the 16th-century Mughal Emperor Akbar to the home of the renowned Sufi saint, Salim Chishti. The heirless emperor sought the saint's blessings and then went on to have three sons. Waleed did not have any particular goals when he embarked on the journey. At one point, he almost gave up. He persisted and managed to walk the 40 Km until the Buland Darwaza towered over him. Endurance, faith, patience, triumph, fear and humility mark this journey inwards and outwards.
