while surfing i came across this article and i thought of posting it... its just an incident that helps us realise that our lives are of much more importance than anything else. Sadly, most of us usually take it for granted.
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World."
Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. To see
2. To hear
3. To touch
4. To taste
5. To feel
6. To laugh
7. And to love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple, ordinary and take for granted are truly wondrous!
A gentle reminder -- that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

Jokes apart but Taj Mahal tu Taj Mahal hay na phir... and we don't get to see things like Great of Wall China being built daily;) on the other hands humans are born in thousands daily with 2 hands an all the 7 wonders the student mentioned lolz:P
I suppose it's fair to state that the seven wonders, as defined by the young lady in the story, let people build and then, appreciate the original seven wonders.
:D
This story is good.I suppose its fear to state that the seven wonders.
