Sometimes I wish that State Bank had a nice sleek building instead of that ugly concrete block. The building should represent the behemoth the bank is. The previous HQ at Apollo Street Horniman Circle was really cool. This current building sucks big time :rant:. This is the building I am talkin about. Anybody has a bigger picture?

Look at those chawls near by. Looks like, in perennial competition with gravity. Just inviting disaster to strike in the form of monsoon or something :bash:

Question about the carriageways. I know they are aiming to open one before the other, its quite obvious from the pictures which one that will be. The end date for the project is set September'07. Is that the end date for the entire project or just the first carriageway?

The tiles are that of textile mills I suppose. At least some from early
19th century should be kept as heritage.
as heritage stuff

As far as heritage is concerned we should be careful about trying to maintain everything as heritage. It's very expensive to maintain some of these old buildings and factories. Herirtage is like culture - we need to get rid of what's no longer in sync with times, adapt new stuff but also retain some core values. I personally find maintaining huge old factory buildings as Mumbai's heriatge a bit over the top.. One or two as part of preserving history is fine. Maybe they could be adapted to house museums or art galleries etc as suggested by some.

But here is where I find the big rub. Many of the heriatge / conservations/leading lights of socialism, protest about highrises, malls and exclusion of the poor but on the other hand talk of maintaining factory shells, building museums, art galleries, auditoriums etc. Now what exactly will the poor, who are busy working for two meals a day, get time to go to exclusive places like art galleries displaying Picasso's work or Museum's showing Egypt's heritage or auditoriums hosting the Russina Ballet? No one is interested in fixing the base problem - poverty, low paying jobs, illiteracy, too much migration, unaffordable housing. Everything is quickfix, populist and playing to the gallery.

_____________

Coming to your question:

I believe they are old housing. Not sure if they are part of any ex factory.
Here is a photo (grainy) one of Colaba. There is a defunct factory (Mukesh Mills?) here. Also note the Sassoon dock (fisherman's dock). Remember this area was once a cluster of fishing villages till more land was reclaimed and highrises were added later on. That's the reason south Mumbai looks such a strange mix of highrise towers and ramshackle fishing villages. It's an example of bad city planning. The fishermen had nowhere to go and nobody ever thought of how to rehabilitate them properly. So they went to court and won the right to remain there and carry on their trade. Now we thus have strips of poverty surrounding islands of prosperity.

HaHa.. you mistook my words. I meant there were attempts to preserve all the mill lands as heritage property. My suggestion is rather keep 2-3 that show cases certain eras and their specialities and bundle out the rest.

Thanx for the information on those tiled roofings.

Hey divine_soul! Long time no postings!

This is not a photography site. So whatever pictures you contribute are just right for the site. And thanks for contributing. The more you contribute, the more we get to know about Mumbai. So in effect you are doing Mumbai and the SSC India forumers a favour.

:)

What you can do maybe is just reduce the size of the pictures by half and the clarity will improve somehwat. The file size will decrease and load times will be faster too.

I used Windows Paint (not the best) but the results look okay

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5139/mumbaiviewweek1ub.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5087/mumbai2week3we.jpg

Mumbai Beat:

http://www.the-week.com/25dec18/lifestyle_article7.htm

Unlike the past booms, where fundamentals seldom supported the spurt, market intermediaries swear this boom is genuine. It is driven by a positive economy, highly conducive interest rates, soaring purchasing power in the middle class, improving suburban development and greater transparency in the real estate sector. Perhaps that explains the consistent demand, despite a good current supply and a massive future stock. The city also offers a boom in sectors like media, shipping and construction. Salaries in the city have gone up by an average 30 per cent and much of this has gone into real estate. Real estate research firm Jones Lang LaSalle says developers have reported an increase in demand across all budget segments. It notes that the suburban areas of the city are currently witnessing the highest levels of construction and sale activity. "The stretch from Goregaon to Kandivili in the western suburbs and Mulund to Thane in the central suburbs are hotbeds of residential activity. given the robust level of demand and increased steel and cement prices, residential prices are expected to firm up further in the next two quarters and increased prices are expected to sustain the high-end user demand. Thus, developers are likely to continue to focus on premium projects not only in the high-end locations of south and central Mumbai but across the suburban locations. One such project being the up-coming tallest residential tower in India by construction firm Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd. Located in Tardeo.

Sewri is in Mumbai. It isn't a very nice place though being near the port, industrial areas and dilapidated housing. Smelly, polluted place.

Here's a link

Directions to Sewri-Mumbai's Flamingo Bay (http://ashbirder.livejournal.com/10599.html) bu ashbirder

BTW it is these flamingos that has the "environmentalists" up in arms against the trans harbour bridge.

World's second longest bridge' — Six consortiums in fray for Rs 4,000-cr sea link

Vinod Mathew

Mumbai , March 3

THE Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, that found special mention by the Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, during his Budget speech, is up and running. Six international consortiums are pitted against each other in the RFQ (request for quotation) stage for the first phase implementation of what is billed to become the second longest bridge in the world. Currently, the longest such linkage is the one between Malmo in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark.

"If there are no further delays, the Government should award the contract to the successful consortium by June-July. Thereafter, it will take up to 40 months to complete the engineering and construction work of the trans harbour sea link. As of now, there is an in-principle decision to name the bridge after JRD Tata," a State Government official told Business Line.

Read the full story in The Business Line (http://www.blonnet.com/2005/03/04/stories/2005030401550700.htm)

Besides, from this angle of the first photograph...it looks pretty tall in comparison to Zahra. My hunch..probably going to nudge the 130-135 mts mark! :cheers:
