/> Now that the Taj Mahal has been preserved among the seven wonders of the world, who's going to preserve this monument from imminent erosion?

That's the question that haunts Shabana Azmi these days.

"Who says the SMS is a subverted sharaarati technology? It has made life so much easier for all of us. Javed and I are constantly on the SMS (although he doesn't believe in short forms and takes much longer to type messages). The SMS saved the Taj Mahal at the 7Wonders! I personally sent out a 100 sms for the Taj Mahal. What a beautiful merger of timelessness and technology!"

However Shabana isn't happy at the thought of us Indians sitting smugly with the thought that we've made it into the 7Wonders list.

"What about the imminent perils that the Monument faces? Something needs to be done about the levels of pollution that are slowly eroding the Taj Mahal. Also, we Indians may be emotional about it.But the physical connectivity to the Taj Mahal is at the most, bearable.

One still needs to go by road from Delhi to the Taj Mahal. Isn't it about time Agra got an international airport to go with the global image that the city possesses because of the Taj?"

Shabana intends to campaign intensely to save the splendour of the Taj from that aura of jaded smugness that has come to surround it. "We need to be made aware that the monument won't be endure our complacency forever. And yes,I intend to recreate a consciousness about its value to us."
