Dubai’s rotating skyscraper!

I could visualize the world like those in sci-fi movies with flying objects on the highway on the sky for “day to day” travels. Are we getting there?

Well nothing’s gonna stop Dubai’s amazing development. This time planned and ready for constuction is the Dynamic tower, world’s first building that rotates while people inside revolve in luxury.  The 80-story tower that is designed by an Italian architect will have revolving floors that give it an ever-shifting shape. It is the world’s first, let’s celebrate it in Dubai.

The Taj Hotel

Ah there! The lovely massive building called the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. The Taj Hotel blends the Rajput, Renaissance and Gothic architecture. It was constructed in 1903 by the Industrialist Jamshetji Tata to provide Indians with a sophisticated meeting place which was denied them by the British.

Frontier trivia the day:

climate in India varies from tropical monsoon in south to temperate in north (where I froze, shivering :-D )
