When I was thinking the about the necessity of such media circus, the fact dawned on me. These days media is cluttered with negative news, they really need to bring home a positive and heartwarming story and also the need to publicise these most visited spots of the world. Of course seven wonders of the world are the hottest tourist destinations, this fact was driven home to me when my friend Dileep visited them within a span of half an hour.
Okay, please don't stare at the monitor in disbelief. No, I am not drunk and am not blabbering. It is true; he did visit them, at least not personally. He went to all these spots by Google Earth (do I hear 'oh...'!).
Well, the point is, people are visiting these places either personally or through post cards, or Google Earth, or by whatever means they can get. This is serving one primary thing - tourism is thriving at these places.
Suddenly, my thought switched over to my beloved city- Mysuru. It is also a tourist hot spot. It has got some beautiful and wonderful things. So, why not I list the wonders of Mysuru? Well, enough of my winding introduction to the main content of this post. Here it is, the wonders of Mysuru.
- Illumination of Amba Vilas Palace - Breathtaking
- Chamarajendra Zoological Garden
- Nandi on Chamundi Hill - Monolithic statue of bull
- St. Philomena's Church - largest in south India
- Lalitha Mahal
- Inlay craft cluster - largest in the world
- Nada Mantapa - music concerts therein
- Bidara Krishnappa's Sri Prasanna Rama Mandira
Well, mine is not the last word. You can add your list too. Leave a comment if you want to add some more.

It would be great to see these places. I think a virtual tour of the 7 is in order!
[SandyCarlson] Will write individual posts on all these places along with photographs.
