TAJ'S STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT TO TOP SEVEN SHOULD BE SEEN AS A REFLECTION OF GLOBAL ATTITUDES RATHER THAN JUST INDIAN ATTITUDE

The struggle faced by the Taj in the race to the top 7 is certainly a shame to Indians as well as a very grim fact for the entire world.. why so? The fact that the Taj is struggling to make it to the top7 needs to be perceived as the general global attitude. Now certainly the global attitude of the world simply cannot be that of indifference towards India. No country has been the subject of such concentrated global attention ever after Germany during the war I suppose. Then why didn't international vote put this monument of love in the top 7 right from the start? I feel its rather the world's indifference towards love.

What makes Taj wonderful? Its much beyond the splendid and most gigantic aggregate of exquisite marble. The Taj is a wonder in every right because of it's very purpose. It's an expression of eternal passion for ones love. An expression of deep sorrow upon the death of someone you love. This love is certainly getting lesser and lesser apparent in the world today.. certainly rendering the inherent splendor of this, 'teardrop on the cheek of time' very difficult to comprehend to by the contemporary world.

SYRIANA. IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET, YOU BETTER DO.

What a movie...!! Never has the connection between Capitol Hill, common men half-way across the globe and the not so common men of the 'free world' been mirrored in such a crystal clear fashion. If you haven't watched it yet make it a point to watch it...
