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.

Sultan, The Warrior

Kannu, Ithu Puthusu, Sultan. What ever Rajni Does... that makes a huge talk in Tamil Nadu... and Now, the fire was spreading all over the country and unto the world. Thats shows how his charisma wins the heart of crores of people. While Sivaji running great across theatres, homes, internet... there was large amount of hype and hoopla around his next movie... and yes, Sultan, The warrior would definitely make history in World Cinema. Being a fan..Here goes what I thought negative about the Trailer: - * Rajini - doesn't Appear as Rajni... When you take a close look at him... he appears as Slim Vijayakanth.. * Even in animation, they have used Doop for Rajni. It was clearly visible when he hides his face while swinging the sword. :) * I don’t know why he jumps so unusual to take that sword. Style?? * Soundarya Rajnikanth - is directing the movie... Remember chandramukhi graphics... which was widely appreciated (?*&#&) * Only the name of the movie was ready, other casts were n...

Firefox, Revisitied

Last couple of years, Microsoft was kicked back in web arena by Google and Firefox. Anyway this blog is not about firefox vs ie cold war and its all about sharing what i have seen in web today. The First one is the following Cover picture of the book (See Right), where Firefox was eating the blue e!. Its an intuitive thinking with the double meaning. ie = e! and the word Blue E matching ie icon.. When I see this cover, the thing that immediately pops in my mind is that. Mr. Project , a perfect opensource competitor of Ms Project . Microsoft Project or Miss Project. I have seen many instances where Microsoft Often refferred as Miss (Ms). I think she is planning to marry Yahoo to stand against mighty Google.. Lets wait and see.. The next one, is about Firefox 3 which is available in alpha 4. Firefox 3 has heightened my expectation because of its new functionality called FUEL ( Firefox User Extension Language) which seems to reduce the amount of time in developing addon. Already, there ...
