Rating system in real estate

rating system in real estate is a good idea.But this should have come a lot earlier as there is hardly any real ....estate remaining in the heart of the city.
Also CRISIL should extend this concept to existing constructions......and come up with a comprehensive system that could be used effectively to value new deals,resale and even rental deals.

Mumbai Migrants &Malaria

I think Mr Photographer turned politician should get some recognition for this classic enlightenment :) he has brought with his new discovery
Hope he was not bitten by some North Indian and tested positive for malaria. Oh God, save mosquitoes from Mr Photographer

Pity our politicians and the parties they represent

I sincerely hope that this man would take some actions after consultations with the healthcare officials ...to prevent outspread instead of giving such statements ..............

Terminal T3 -reality check

Yesterday our Hon Prime Minister inaugurated T3 terminal which is worlds 5th largest. After seeing the opening ceremony and the speech given by Civil Aviation minister Mr Praful Patel just became curious to know some facts

Here are some startling numbers :

*estimated cost $2.8-billion
*68 check-in counters
*48 immigration desks
*50 emigration desks
*78 aerobridges
*97 private travelators
*Cat III runway landing systems
*estimated 35 million passengers annually
*designed to handle 600 passengers an hour

and the list would surely continue ............
dying to get the actual experience and also eagerly waiting for the Navi Mumbai aiport.

Kudos to all those who have contributed to this grand success !!!

Nations Anthem 2 minutes

Went to watch Kites at one of the multiplexes in Kothrud,as a regular practise people stood up for the National Anthem and the entire crowd was one as if we were a united spririt.

Great feeling of oneness ......a perfect resemblance of unity in diversity.Also the anthem video was very well done.All Marathi stage and film actors in their crisp white kurtas and chunidars singing in unison ,looking at each other and believe me every actors face was filled with pride and containement (the fact that they have been asked to participate for such a novel and patriotic cause definately elevates their respect and suddenly they become much more humble and just participate with a generous soul..)

Such acts of patriotism must be done in every pick and pocket of the country where actually the aam janata goes ......again whoever started it he or she is a genius mind....!!!

Sprinkler and Fan Cooling System-Cafe Good Luck

After seeing India losing to Australia in a T20 clash we decided to have some good time somewhere else !!!...and there is one place in the heart of the city -Cafe Good luck.Located on FC road an irani joint famous for it's irani tea and brun maska ..,biryani's ,bread puddings...
Since 1935 is what their hoarding proudly proclaims]

and 75 years in the business is no mean.From octogenarians to the now college going crowd, everyone fondly remembers at some time having had a cup of Irani tea with brun maska in it's hallowed confines.

One thing that intrigued us that day was the low pressure sprinklers which were used to cool off the place.We were well in the middle of our dinner and suddenly the entire place was filled with these tiny little droplets falling over from the sprinklers that were attached to the cooling fans on the wall.

These were 360 degrees low pressure sprinkler nozzels that produced large droplets that produce a shower effect was the answer we got when enquired..
Believe me or not it had a natural and a better effect than our regular AC's -superb idea and that too in 2010-we were simply amazed and never in our dreams had imagined something of this sorts- just out of place ....

Now i understand how a no -alcohol ,Non AC joint can still survive in 2010 -sheer class and innovation !!!

First rains ....Nostalgic

Yesterday Pune witnessed its first rains ..late evening around 8:00.
Suddenly those good old childhood memories came in a flash.Wanted to experience those divine moments in the traditional way ...but unfortunately was stuck up in the usual Pune traffic
most importantly ..I took a few deep breaths as if I am attending some yoga session :) somewhere to smell wet mud ...man it's got such a healing,soothing effect ..kash there would have been some device which could capture this
