Whispering Wind Neighbours

As of 31-Mar-2009, Whispering Wind had no access road, no internal roads, no security cabin and no PMC bus route or bus service on the Pashan-Baner link road.


There were no children playing equipment until 3 weeks ago or no main gate for almost 3 years after occupation of flats at Whispering Wind.


But residents genuinely felt proud of their neighbourhood where the Richie rich in town lived in mansions spread over acres surrounded by sprawling lawns and of the owners who moved in and out of their homes in choppers that passed right over the Whispering Wind buildings.

Pune Mirror Troubleshooters

After bombarding emails for over 2 weeks, Pune Mirror, a suppliment with The times of India, agreed to and published the plight of the Pashan-Baner link road along with the photograph. Not to mention, my 12 yr old photo was also duly published alongwith.

Pune Mirror has a weekly feature called PM-Toubleshooters and this appeared in the 13-April-2009 issue of Pune mirror. See http://epaper.indiatimes.com/

The methodology of PM Troubleshooters is they visit the problem site once informed and then contact the PMC authorities to take up the issue with them. They have the PMC people's direct personal numbers so they reach them on Sundays too, as one the Pune Mirror team members revealed to me.

The most remarkable feature of the PM Troubleshooters page is the deadline they extract from the PMC authorities. The deadline date is published along with the problem and later on the promised date they take a review of the problem.

The fullsized 1600x1200 photograph incdentally is the same that I clicked for the blogpost of 4-Mar-2009. See http://whisperingwindonline.blogspot.com/2009/03/pashan-baner-link-road.html
