New Seven Wonders & Taj Mahal

Oh my god! Save me from mails..

Nowadays, I was recieving umpteen fwds a week which was motivating an Indian to vote for Taj Mahal which is currently in 14 th rank. Couple of weeks before, when I received the first mail, i thought of voting for Taj Mahal, went to new7wonders website. The website asks me to register before voting. I was bored and left the website without voting. Later, I realised this is absolutely dump to select wonder by voting like this and it does not reflect the true wonder of the world.

One, The person who visited all the listed wonders, was only capable of selecting the wonder. Other people, 99% support their favorite wonder, basically its by geography/culture.

Two, SMS/register to vote. This is completely stupid. As there is all possibility for one to make multiple votes.

Three, Voting for Taj Mahal, Wait.. Are you sure of the history of Taj Mahal? do you know, Taj mahal is a vedic temple and its not built by Shah Jahan.(try Google search). Even the history was unsure then.. how can I vote? Its hard to believe what we learned. (Pluto is not a planet.)

Fourth, This is just a media hype. Lets think future of this poll. The tickets of this world renown show were all booked and it seems there was a great profit for the organisation/country conducting poll. This will leads to another Poll and every year, there would be a poll for New Seven wonders, conducted by different countries. (is it another olympics?)

Fifth, Another suggestion for great corporate giants, They too can create their own poll and anounce the results for "Google's Seven Wonders of World", "Yahoo Seven Wonders of World", "Orkut Seven Wonders of World" etc.

Finally, I never felt voting to Taj or any other wonder. I doesn't mean that they are not wonders. The truth was, I have not visited any of them and I was not able to compare them. To me, this Life is the biggest wonder.

Dual Role

Eversince my childhood, I loved watching movies. Its like living a dream and it's a wild fantasy. With the advent of technology, We the humans, were able to achieve a new dimension in Movies and "Dual role" is one common tweak in movies. Usually , Its One person playing two Characters in a film like twins, Father & Son etc and often (Esp. In Indian Movies), there would be some imperfection in screen when these two characters come together in the screen. Its really surprising to see two identical characters together. Just imagine how it would be if I was standing in front of you as two Aruns. Happy .. Right...So.. lets go to action. Lets assume that the twins were discussing about how to play dual role. The following simple bold two points explains how three aruns come to live in the above photo.. Just Visualize it..It is simple... 1) Take two (or more) photos with camera in same position while object(u) in different places Though there were many ways, This method redu

Katrathu Kaiyalavu

There was a Girl, who was Tall & Thin & Fair, her Hair, her Hair, was a color of Ginger An English Rhymes from the Tamil Movie, "Katrathu Tamil", One of the Excellent movie of the year, packed with interesting, informative dialogs and intuitive screenplay. Achan kovil, Xaviers College, Tirunelveli (My Dad graduated there), munusaamy(A tamil Graduate), takes me back and forth in time. Even the dumb story of a dream tiger which is dreaming about the dream desert, adds unknown beauty to the movie. A One line about IT... "If India is a growing, it has to be equivalent in all industry. if only Leg (IT) is growing, it is a Disease (yaanai Kaal), we have to cure it." explains the impact of IT over other industry. Just like real life, this movie has got no logic :) Unlike my earlier blogs on Movies, This blog going to be a sketch of incidents that cames to my mind while watching this movie. Incident 1: Guindy, 04:30 pm, I have just reached the Gandhi Mandapam Bus

Blog Updates

Past four days, I have been doing some changes to the blog that should have caused some web outages of my blog. I am sorry, if you are one of those who caught in the mid. But the sad to note, is that I have revert back all the changes that i made to blog, as I was dissatisfied with my changes. Anyways, Blogs, the new medium of sharing, consumes more time (kills time) and in addion to that, it needs to be arranged in a proper order. Few days back, I have posted a video on my Edinburgh trip made by Chirag, soon more videos were yet to be released, under the category "video series", I have to ensure that the size of the video is less, so that many can view it without any problems.
