Ok, so I'm glad that the Taj Mahal made it as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but it's just an architectural structure, a building if you would call it. What are we all so excited about? Our entire country is one huge garbage dump. People urinate on the road, dump trash and litter like we own the country and all of a sudden we're super proud of having the Taj Mahal in our nation, Geez. Imagine a house made of cow dung. Imagine the walls, the floor, the ceiling, all made of cow crap. Suddenly in a small corner of the room you see a rose or a lily growing. That's not something to be proud of, is it?
The news said something about receiving 100 million votes, the largest voting on a subject ever and all this while I kept thinking, "Man! As a race, we have so many more serious issues to worry about than beautiful buildings. Wouldn't it be awesome if as a race, we were equally fired up about something such as global warming and how to act now? Wouldn't it be awesome if as a nation, we all picked on a serious national issue and dedicated ourselves to resolving it?" I have a feeling we will even achieve something positive out of it, but NO. We only come together to vote for the seven wonders or when Sachin is at the crease. Everything else is totally meaningless and doesn't require my personal attention. After all, it's a matter of perspective, and I've got mine.
