"Seven Wonders of the World"

[yajuvender]

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 student had not finished 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 and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!

Great things are always overlooked. "Books par mat jawo, khud ki akal lagoa". Well I we would start appreciating and enjoying the things we have, world would be much better. I would like to add yet another wonder.
"Satisfaction or atmasantusthi"

Thanks for a wonderful thought
