Its  wah  taj  renamed  to  wonder  taj  anounced  by  Bips  for  the  blue  billion.  
Tajmahal  votes  in  the  new  7  world  wonders.
Yes  what  broadband  or  internet  campaigns  would  have  found  hard  to  achieve  
was  delivered  by  the  ubiquitous  mobile  phones  supported  by  media.  The  SMS  nation  of  around  
165  million  mobile  subscribers  helped  Taj  to  be  in  the  frontlin  in  the  winners
of  new  7  wonders  in  Lisbon  on  7/7/07  .
And  yes  Bengal  beauty  -  Bipasha  Basu  wasn't  able  to  believe  on  this  incredible  power  of  
Nokia's  or  Sony's  or  Moto's  in  indian  hands  while  making  the  announcement  in  the  
Portugese  capitol  and  standing  besides  the  heavyweights  -  Hillary  Swank  and  Ben  Kingsley.

But  forgetting  the  tumultous  path  to  victory  its  the  Happy  Ending  all  we  care  right.  
It  has  been  a  victory  of  every  Indian  who  would  have  grown  studying  the  love  story  of  
Mumtaz  and  Shahjahan.  The  selection  will  bring  may  of  these  well  wishers  to  the  city  of  Agra
as  well  as  drive  a  strong  International  tourist  lobby  to  Indian  corridors  reason  
being  this  this  would  have  been  one  of  the  loudest  campiagns  on  an  international  platform  
depicting  Indian  travel  wonder  and  going  off  at  the  peak.  
Till  date  only  3  millions  visit  Taj  every  year  while  Great  wall  of  China  is  
visited  by  approx  10  and  Effil  tower,Paris  by  approx  7  million.  
Hope  the  Wonder  Taj  now  leaps  through  the  wall  and  tops  across  towers.

Coming  back  to  Taj  experience  -  The  first  glimpse  you  get  and  you  are  sure  its  worth  a  
million  SMS,  a  billion  votes  and  a  trillion  visits  leaving  a  memory  foot  print  which  
is  everlasting.
