New 7 Wonders Of The World
Only 381 days left for the voting in the selection of the new 7 Wonders of the World. Out of the total of 71 nominations, India has 34 nominees which incidentally include Anna Nagar Tower from Singara Chennai (Surprising!!!).
Taj Mahal is at 3rd spot as of now which is not at all surprising and the second best from India is Meenakshi Temple, Madurai at 26 place. All others are languishing at the bottom of the nomination list.
Overall, most of the votes have come from the Mainland China and its no surprise that Great Wall of China is at the first place!!! But India is catching up fast in the votes and in the last 7 days, 99% of the votes have come from India and Taj Mahal accounts for almost everything... I have voted for the Meenakshi Temple and guys, it's your turn now to vote... It's very simple!!! Just visit this site The Seven New Wonders of World and make your vote count... And one more thing I would like you guys to do... You can put Nanganallur in the world map by suggesting a new nominee.. You have guessed it correct!!! I have suggested Nanganallur Anjaneya Temple to be included in the list of nominees... But atleast 7 persons should have suggested the name before it makes it to the list of nominees....
Any volunteers??
