Something is wron...phoooof! tears in my eyes again. Something is wrong. All my initial feeling of a different kind of surprize (well they said it wont make it) and happiness to see that Taj was included in the 7 Wonders was cut short by this rather sickening photograph.<BR/><BR/>Most insensitive to publish. Feel very low about India sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I have never been to the Taj till now. I am sure when I go there I will be reminded of this photo and will cry again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-25257836937926979132007-07-08T18:26:00.000+05:302007-07-08T18:26:00.000+05:30Indeed...here we talk about 'larger issues' and I ...Indeed...here we talk about 'larger issues' and I doubt many would have been even struck by it...after all on the same page there were some models. I have written a letter to the Ed (I know I write a column for the same paper, but so what?) <BR/><BR/>I was just imagining those kids running their fingers over that Taj replica and felt so disgusted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-42459178478265781322007-07-08T15:23:00.000+05:302007-07-08T15:23:00.000+05:30Tears of frustration are falling from my eyes.
