Well, that's some strange sarcasm there. :lol: For me at least, the comment did not sound like one.... strange..

Although you missed quite a few things - biggest arms importer, malnourished children, sex ration, illiteracy, maoist rebellion etc etc ....

:lol:

i think you jumbled up sex ratio and ration card :lol:

btw well done jodhu :bow:

^Relax he's being sarcastic.

:lol::lol:

i think you jumbled up sex ratio and ration card :lol:



:lol:

If they really rationed sex, the intellectual columnists would also put all blame on a "tyrannical" government for such a policy.

I have deleted Rizawan Mithawala's photo of Mumbai skyline as he doesn't like his pictures of Mumbai to be posted in this forum.

Well the real question is that with so many luxury towers kissing the supertall margin, coming up in the city , do we even have so many people who actually live in those apartments ? Too much of the cityspace is being taken over for the purpose of the super rich.

Here we just post building above ~35 floors, which offcourse for superrich people, there are hundreds of ongoing projects in/around Mumbai, which we dont discuss here.

These ultra high end apartments arent being bought just by the rich in Bombay. There are plenty NRI investors and even corrupt politicians creating strongholds with their Swiss bank accounts.

So the real estate market is solid :)

What is your issue with "intellectuals"? You keep cursing them in every post.

^^ Intellectual SUCKS

^^ Intellectual SUCKS

Yes. Because intellectuals show your real face in a mirror. Nobody likes that :)

No, they are just "Bakarchods" and we have lot of those types.They are just like old guy sitting under the "Peepal tree" in a village and piss off everybody with their talks and by the way now they have INTERNET also:-)

Conflicting perspectives about the intellectual established the critical tone about the societal role of the public intellectual. Typically, the right-wing perceives intellectuals as too-theoretical, with shallow roots in real life; while, quite generally, in that perspective, the term ‘intellectual’ has negative connotations in the Netherlands, as having ‘unrealistic visions of the World’; in Hungary, as being ‘too-clever’ and an ‘egg-head’; and in the Czech Republic, as discredited for aloofness from reality

I personally am not too thrilled about this private residential skyscrapers popping up in mumbai.

Not that i am against them in any way but not too thrilled about them either. Just dont care.


Commercial real estate super-tall skyscrapers. Thats what the city needs.

Preferably located close to a major railway station.


Those dont seem to be happening. Only one i can think of in the super tall segment is India tower (which atleast is mixed use)

Thanks Suncity for posting my pics. There are better pics specially night pics which might interest you. Kindly post them if you find suitable.

I think he means "pseudointellectuals" which are far too common in our country. One only has to go to NDTV or TOI to find them.

its jodhu for heaven sake

ofcourse he was being sarcastic



and i will be frank. Even if Mumbai does develop a skyline we need to ensure that older buildings built in the 70s atleast have a fresh coat of paint.Some of the buildings in nariman point are falling apart and just too ugly.




great pics deekshith keep up the good work

BTW am I the only one who is concerned about the massive pollution out there? Imagine those pics without the brownish orange haze around the city. Something needs to be done about that pollution problem.

is that crane part of the family now?

Whoa, the pictures on this page are some of the best I've seen of the city in a while.

have a look at them in Bengal. After the debacle in Japan CPM "intellectuals" have urged the govt to scrap the project in Jaitpur :nuts:

You haven't been to the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. Perhaps that is the reason why many question the stupidity of those who oppose the Jaitapur Nuclear project. The entire Konkan coast is a very rich and bio-diverse area with fertile soil that feeds half of Maharashtra. The Andhra-ite governor who approved the project and gave the go ahead should have lobbied hard to have the nuclear power station built in Andhra Pradesh !

And these so called (Indian) intellectual scientists who claim that no calamity can harm the Jaitapur project, I wonder how and why their super IQed acumen did not help the Fukushima engineers who are still battling out the partial meltdowns.

ANyways... I do not want to derail this thread. Anyone who wants to debate on the topic of Jaitapur N.P can email me or PM me. I would be very generous in giving my viewpoints for not having the nuclear power stations on the western coast of India

No intstead we should build mega thermal projects which cause far more harm to the soil, people and environment. Let's ban clean, green nuclear power which can only cause harm in a once-every-1000-years disaster.

Since when have Nuclear Power stations in India been clean?
Where does the spent nuclear rods get dumped? Thought of that? Where does the water gets pumped into? Thought of that? Ever BEEN to localities where there are nuclear power stations IN INDIA where people tilling the land have been harmed far more? I would be very very happy indeed to enlighten you on this.

I never said NO to Nuclear Power. All I am saying is NOT ON THE agricultural and bio diverse WESTERN COAST OF INDIA ! There are enough places in India where the NPs can be built.


No intstead we should build mega thermal projects which cause far more harm to the soil, people and environment. Let's ban clean, green nuclear power which can only cause harm in a once-every-1000-years disaster.

All coasts of India are bio-diverse btw. Nuclear reactors can only be built near coasts, and yes, please tell me what harm has been caused by Indian nuclear plants thus far, and how it is worse than the harm caused by thermal power plants which release mercury and arsenic into the surrounding areas along with toxic fly ash and radioactive contamination.

All coasts of India are bio-diverse btw. Nuclear reactors can only be built near coasts,

:lol:

Last time i looked germany and few other countries didn't exist near the coastline. There is this nuclear plant in India called Kaiga Atomic Power Station which is like 40kms from the coast and in UP and Rajastan which are very far from the beach....anyhow, to shutdown the reactor you need saline water or other reactor coolants which doesn't necessarily mean the plant has to be near the coast line.

I should have said "most", not "all" as they need large volume of water for coolant. If not the coast then they are situated near some large freshwater body.

^^+1 NP requires huge amount of water so yes if possible most of them built near sea, if not then near fresh water reserve.....

Yeah the older buildings of Mumbai should be maintained better & painted.

Nariman Point needs a major make-over & wonder what is going on with its proposed make-over? Although its still one of the expensive parts of Mumbai it could do with more towers & one that is iconic tower depending on space.

Churchgate station has been clad with glass? :shocked:
When did this happen?

But seriously it's ruining heaps of good photos.

Is the crane still there because there is last-minute construction going on? Or is construction over?

BTW, can someone tell me for the Worli-Haji Ali link, is it extension of the present sea-link?

Construction is finished.

Now the argument is whether the 2nd link should be built or a coastal road instead because of the costs plus the lack of users on the latter.

Mumbai is awesome !

Have they forgotten the crane on the sea link?

babus are thinking of a way to transport that crane to India Tower site, so we have an additional crane working on it, so they can save a few croroe rupees here and there, Bhargav bhai this crane has now become an integral part of bandra -woril skyline!!

Churchgate station has been clad with glass? :shocked:

MOD,

He's been posting pictures, but the first time, he's crediting himself (even though his aunt took it).

Ichi, why does not having a FB profile be a big deal and make you sound lazy? Its not the end of the world.

Are you seriousily griping about him not crediting his aunt? I probably wouldn't credit my aunt if i got pictures from her.

This would've been an amazing heritage building had it been spruced up!! No wonder people don't think twice about demolishing such structures because they resemble vertical slums more than heritage!!

Bit late reply. Not really worth too.

Yeah you may pass through. But I live in Lokhandwala. I know you are referring to the new buildings behind the petrol pump just after Infiniti. But those buildings in the pic are definitely Oberoi Splendor in JVLR

when mumbai will get commercial mixed- use glass steel supertalls structures like shanghai tower, shanghai world financial center, jinmao tower etc.......yeah i know about INDIA tower but most of the under construction projects are residential !!!

^^
More and more mixed-use buildings are coming up each year. :)

that khaki police uniform look complete shit !!!!!!!

well said... you can even make out the color variation in them... did you also see the pot belly one in the front? Can you EVER imagine he can run for 50 meters and catch a terrorist? Indian police is a joke.... I remember, during british rule they said calcutta police was as efficient as scotland yard. Now its a bunch of unfit old jokers working for politicians... same all over india.

that khaki police uniform look complete shit !!!!!!!

There are plans (very preliminary) to overhaul (http://entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/news/2010/manish-police-uniform-010610.html) the Khakhis ! Lets close the argument there - too early to talk about it. Back to pics!!

you can see bmc, vt, gpo, most of the bank/insurance buildings along d n road. and barc under the trombay hill.

if i had to hazard a guess, this is taken from the vsnl building.

shameful to see these eyesore slums so close to planetorium or prime areas visited by thousands of people from across the world.

Any plan in progress to relocate those people??

Can someone post some latest pics of Mahim/Sitladevi & Shivaji park area?

It's been decades since I last visited India :(

I was born in somewhere in Kalina, and raised in Mahim :)

Its good to see, so many improvements going on in Mumbai.

Wow, beautiful road. By the way, when are they getting rid of the Premier Padminis?

A lot of them have vanished, some are left. The Drivers themselves are getting newer vehicles, mostly Santros. Some others who are sick of the Padminis but cant buy a new vehicle sell their permits to Call cab companies.

^^ Thanks for the pics CG. Question for the forum members. What will it take to improve the quality of roads and better marking? The roads above makes tiny villages in China look world class and this is Mumbai we're talking about.

Exactly!! Proper lane marking on that road without that Premier taxi would have looked out of India!!

what you see in those pics are conrete roads.

they are smooth to travel on (ie no bumps)


Mumbai needs concrete roads everywhere.


about lane marking hmm i dont know different type of paint sprayed regularly?

I guess I'm talking about the quality of construction. It appears to be standard at best and I can see several small bumps in those pictures as well. Part of it also has to do with lack of landscaping and maintenance (i.e. keeping it clean) But that's probably true for most roads in India but I expected roads in Mumbai to be better than the rest or at least as good as Delhi.
