NAM matters a lot!

NAM,the non aligned movement co founded by India,got a rude jolt as the U.S condoleeza rice decided to come out and say that the NAM movement has lost all relevance in the modern world.but the entire world knows that the U.S has always been hostile to the very idea of NAM.NAM was started as a counter balance to the power polarities in the world at the time,the U.S and that of the U.S.S.R.the russians very adroitly managed to get friendly with India and thereby had assured that the NAM policies were always friendly to them,much to the chagrin of the U.S.
Today although the power scenario may have altered with the demise of the U.S.S.R a new power struggle happens to be taking place,between that of the U.S and the asian giants with Europe sitting on the sidelines and cheering the asians on.the asian giants,China and India believe in a multi polar world and as such the trilateral conferences between the current Russia,the NAM and the ASEAN just suits their purposes fine for this.the U.S knows that it could never totally dominate the world and make itself the sole reigning power.what is more most of the world central banks have started changing their reserver currency as the U.S dollar gets weaker and weaker.this worrying trend could also9 be as a result of the U.S policies and their aggressive attitude towards other world powers.as far as China,Russia and India are concerned,they seem to think that a multi polar world is much needed and they are making steady progress towards that end.as far as the U.S is concerned,they see themselves losing all relevance in this modern world as they and their economy gets more and more outdated.their aggressive polices may have well suited the time of kennedy's and nixon's.but today economy speaks volumes and services matter more than just mere muscle.gone are the days of muscle power and say hello to the power of money and hi tech wizardry!

The Taj record!

The updated version of the seven wonders of the world now lists the Taj Mahal as one of them.the Taj Mahal is a shrine to love and it stands tall amongst all the other wonders.the other wonders may have all been built for one ordinary purpose or the other.but in the whole wide world that we live in today,there is only one building which epitomizes love and that is the Taj Mahal.
The story behind it is indeed tragic and moving.the whole building was built more as a memorial for a lost love,a love that drove an emperor almost to the brink of madness.it seems to be true that love conquers all and that is totally true especially when one views the Taj under the light of a full moon with the Yamuna river meandering nearby.of course all the other wonders of the world are all equally great.but they were all built for the glorification of self rather than for 'a lost cause'.one of the reasons that the Taj story is so moving is that although the emperor Shah Jahan literally put his all into the building of the Taj,he was at the time of his completion imprisoned by his son Aurangazeb.Imagine falling so totally in love with someone,an then that person dies.so you build a fantastic memorial for her.once it is completed,you imagine yourself visiting your loved one in that beautiful memorial but then,you are taken a prisoner by your own son.you are imprisoned in a building right across the Taj and you ca only look out across the river to that sight but you can never visit it ever again.how would you feel?
that is why the love that the Taj signifies is more of a love of the intense hopeless kind.after all that is what real love is all about,right?love knows no reason therefore has only a heart which beats in harmony!
