Just to make a subtle point, my list of seven included the following:
So, as they say in India,
आपसे यह आग्रह है कि आप अपने मत का उचित प्रयोग करें और हमारे चहेते ताज महल को विजयी बनाए!
And as they also say in India,
भोट फ़ॉर ताज!
Thanks goes to fellow Desicritic DesiGirl for jogging my memory and reminding me to vote through her post

Oooh I so voted (and for the Taj too). I'm not entirely sure what I think of this contest - the judges seem high-quality, but I'm pretty curious about the organization running it, what heritage professionals think, what effects it might have, etc.
Hello, i just surfed in searching for interesting blogs on new seven wonders of the world, you have a cool blog. Do keep up the good work. i live far from where you are and its nice to be able to see what people from across the world thinks.

Speaking of which...on NPR this morning there was a piece on the movement in Rio to vote for the Christ the Redeemer statue. They mentioned the founder of the contest, who is a "Swiss-Canadian businessman and adventurer." So not an architect, educator, historian, or heritage professional. Interesting.
