It was probably one of the very few times that i did manage to get up early.Very early.That coupled with the fact that there was no squash yesterday(the sports complex remains closed on Mondays) and hence limited liquid intake negatively influenced my bowel movement.They say that everything in the universe follows a routine which is difficult to break or maintain.Sir Isaac Newton complicated matters by stating the same thing in the 1st law of motion."Every body in the universe resists any change in its state of rest.......until unless an external force is applied(dont even talk about it)They call it Inertia which is directly proportional to the mass.And mass it was,big M.
I tried everything from water to breakfast to this unnecessary drivel.I had to take it out somehow....And here i am, doing the needful.
Wonder(less) Wonder!!!
The media frenzy surrounding the Taj & its position in the new world has finally secured the so-called Monument of Love a place in the New7wonders of this century.The air smells too much of Patriotism and prolific pride.No one's complaining.Thats my whole point....
The Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan in 1653 AD as a symbol of his love n dedication to his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died at a premature age of 36 during childbirth.It would only be fitting to salute the lady who bore the emperor 14 children in her short lifetime.Methinks that Shah Jahan,foresighted that he was, realised that he would need such a large army to vote for Taj.
Somebody at the New7wonders ceremony in Lisbon on 7/7/7,saw the fateful envelope in her hand and screamed,"Oh my god!!!It is the Taj Mahell(rhymes with hell fell)".And i, sitting in front of my idiot box shouted,"OMG is it patriotism or is it Hillary Swank".Sadly its neither.But a damsel in distress Bipasha Basu.
New7wonders,an organisation created by a Swiss entrepreneur stinks of a profit motive and some of us were living under an illusion that there's something called Global Responsibility.It did a commendable job of giving The Pyramids an honorary status of a wonder(apparently it is the only surviving wonder of the list made in 200B.C) and ironically Egyptians were the only ones who dared to question the organisation's authority and credibility.A smart move to clean the air. A question bubbles in my mind "Are they historians who studied the uniqueness and heritage associated with the 21monuments at close quarters" or "Are they scientists trying to unravel the mysteries of stone n stellar".Infact they are hardcore businessmen who did their job to the hilt.Invited international celebrities ,associated themselves with UNESCO,chose the perfect day n made themselves mighty millionaires.
Amidst all this celebration,a question lingers "Is it this simple to fool an Indian?".The media played its part nd i am not saying i dint vote.Follow the herd they say.But how about using your brains for a change.An Indian will vote for the Indian in the list n the chinese would do the same for the chinese wonder.That is no rocket science.And m sure it doesn't come as a shock that both Great Wall of China & The Taj Mahal are on the list.I would even go on to say that this poll was an effective way to drain the wealth from the Indias n the Chinas of the world....
Some believe India has arrived on the world stage but i would say READ CAREFULLY probably ANOTHER 50,000 babies have just arrived.We would probably need them to vote Himalayas into the new7natural wonders of the Earth.The message rings loud....YOU JUST CAN'T COUNT US (OUT)....WE ARE TOO MANY!!!!
