What i fail to understand
2. So much for Mumbai's resilience.? We will discuss and debate, crib about infrastructure, blame politicians, BMC, Govinda et al but by next week catching the 8:37 local would be the only focus. Mumbaites for all their diligence and professionalism are surprisingly self involved. The truth is apart from the snobbish South Mumbaite and the film stars of Juhu lane, Mumbai is nothing but a teeming ant colony of middle class workers chasing 2 square meals of different sizes and dreaming of buying a flat one station ahead. The others in the city like the mafiosi and Gujju businessmen have other revenue targets to chase.
3. Why did Lord Indra retain South Mumbai's snobbishness? North Mumbai bore the brunt of not only the rain, but the bane of higher FSI and rapid expansion. Why are the mill lands that present a golden oportunity for the city to set right some of its imbalance, being squandered to fill the coffers of real estate musketeers masquerading as messiahs. I thought sale of mill lands would bring real estate prices down but they keep going up.
4. Does the city just have too much money? And does the taste of money leave Mumbai's politicians as toothless tigers ?
5. Lastly. Is chasing 600 sq ft of dreams after sixty fights for every inch every day a happy occupation?

Jazz back in the blog(ck) - with a BANG! The rains have (w)vetted ur spirits perhaps - Precise and incisive than ever... Mumbai certainly deserves much more attention. Somehow criticism of Mumbai always corners more attention (including the joke - page3 winning best movie national award) than any positive step taken. I support the views fully..
Taking this opportunity, herez my salute to Mumbaikars' resilience and bounceback!
Also, Three cheerz to jazz on the comeback ;)
