Taj Mall?

Didn’t you hear?

Well, The Taj Mahal has been chosen as one of the seven wonders of the world! This was announced a 9 PM local time in Lisbon (Portugal) on 07/07/07! We really kicked arse with all that voting online and all those 3 rupee sms votes! Boy can we stand up together as a country, India and our symbol of love first as they always say! And not only did we make it to the top 7, but every mediocre Indians dream come true, we made it to the numero uno spot. Looks like all those TV campaigns, “Public Service Announcements”, India TV Specials and Star News Sansanis really helped. Wah Taj!

 Wait a minute, what did you say?

This thing isn’t even recognised by the UNESCO? Aren’t they the same guys who are supposed to take care of this seven wonders stuff? So you mean every paisa spent on those sms’s went to some Swiss Dude’s pocket?

And you say that the Pyramids Of Egypt get honourary membership to this exclusive club,but we don’t? Why’d they do that?

And now you tell me it doesn’t even go to making the Taj white again? You mean we’ll have to rely on the Architecteral Survey Of India to apply Mudpacks costing One Crore on it to make it glow like Akbar would have liked it?

Yeah dude, big difference. By the way, I do know Shah Jahan made it for Anarkali *sticks out tongue*

But didn’t India TV tell us to be patriotic? Didn’t IBN flash that four digit number all day long? Didn’t the Times of India print articles telling us to vote for the New Seven Wonders everyday? Didn’t those Airtel show us the blind kid who oh-so-sweetly asked everyone to vote for the Taj Mahal, even though he hadn’t seen it? Are you saying he wasn’t blind?

You mean we’ve been taken for a ride all along? You mean this very instant Rajat Sharma is rolling in a pool of money laughing his arse off at us?

But aren’t we all just patriotic? We were just defending our country’s honour up there right?

 Well yeah its true that we have a shortage of officers in the army, our beaurucracy is corrupt and our politicians as deep in corruption as Mumbai’s potholes. But there is hope right? I mean, only yesterday we voted 94% YES on that QOTD on CNN IBN. And day before yesterday we voted to help Barkha kicked that politicians ass on NDTV.

You mean they don’t actually care about those opinion polls up at 10, Janpath? But dude 94% of India felt that Sunita Williams is really Indian. We love her, I mean she ate samosas in space dude, they wont make us vote for NO reason at all.

Oh, the 3 rupee SMSs. 

But dude, why didn’t you tell anyone before?
