Wonders of the World

 


Burj Khalifa, Dubai

A true wonder of the modern age, the world's tallest building towers above the desert metropolis of Dubai. At a groundbreaking 2,717-feet high (828m), it has dwarfed the surrounding skyscrapers since it opened in 2010. The Burj lays claim to many other records too: being the tallest free-standing structure and having the most number of stories (160) in the world, among them. Its striking design was inspired by minarets and a desert flower while the inside is adorned with over 1,000 art pieces from both Middle Eastern and international artists.

Wonders of the World

 


Eiffel Tower, Paris, France

The world's most famous wrought iron structure and symbol of Paris soars confidently above the elegant city. It's hard to believe that what's now one of the most photographed landmarks in the world was only meant to be a temporary structure when it opened for the World Exhibition in 1889. Many locals loathed the Eiffel Tower to begin with, but it's now one the most-visited monuments in the world, typically welcoming around seven million visitors each year.

The Unknown Secrets of Diwali | Sadhguru'

A BOY IS GOING TO HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

He looks worried so his dad asks him, “What’s wrong?”

Nervous, the kid asks, “How long do I have to go to school for?”

“Until you’re 18,” says the father.

The kid nods, and thinks about this quietly.

When they get to the front gates of the school, the kid says, “Dad, you will remember to come and get me when I’m 18, won’t you?”

Wonders of the World

 


Sigiriya, Sri Lanka

Jutting out of the plains and forests of northeast Sri Lanka, Sigiriya is one of the country’s most spellbinding sights. It’s hard to imagine the imposing 656-foot (200m) rock fortress lay forgotten by the outside world until British historians rediscovered it in the 19th century. Built by the king Kashyapa I in the 5th century AD, its name means lion’s rock and the entrance is guarded by a pair of giant lion paws. With a mighty 1,200 steps to the top, the views across the pleasure gardens, jungle and beyond are entrancing.
