Thanks Man... I will try to download them. This site has a lot of interesting resources.

Nah, Alien bro, I can assure you I am not joking

And you must have misunderstood me ... I did not mean the taj Mahal is not "special". I only claimed that it is not at a level of grandeur where it is picked as one of the seven wonders of the world.And If wonders were to be chosen based on how expensive the monument is, surely there are other monuments that are way more expensive than Taj Mahal.

Thank you goru, it seems people here forgot the meaning of "nature". You know, sea, mountains, forests, waterfalls and stuff??

If any monument from agra should be nomiinated from AGRA, it should be the Oberoi taj hotel. That hotel is much better than the TAJ.
And yes shundarbans and cox's bazaar are great natural wonders. However, i think only sundarbans should be in the top seven. Worlds largest mangovve forest, and prolly the worlds only sweet water mangrove forest.

Sundarbans? Yes.

Cox's B? Not with a clear conscience. I voted for Big Sur, California and the entire state of Alaska.

The Everglades rock, and the Oki Penoki swamp is nothing less than surreal.

I nominated Madobkhando waterfall in Moulvi Bazar. I was there last week and the whole area is just so beautiful....even if one is now prevented by the authorities from going near the waterfall due to safety reasons.

How can the same country contain well-preserved "wonders of nature" and the second dirtiest megacity in the world? It is a little contradictory.
