Deceiving View

This is a view of the Pashan-Baner Link road area taken from atop Whispering Wind A-bldg in mid-July of 2008 . Greenery on the distant mountains and sunshine everywhere just after a monsoon shower renders this landscape deceivingly beautiful.


A closer look however shows the ground realities. The area circled red in the photo above is enlarged as below and reveals water flowing freely on the road in front of Kumar Sahwas:


Another much closer ground level snap taken by Vikrant Kelkar a year earlier on 7-July-2007 shows the scaring reality. He sarcastically called this a red-carpet in one of his mails. Below is the photo showing road condition just in front of Kumar Sahwas:



The depiction of this turn on Kumar Builder brochure is again deceiving as seen below, but that is so typical of builders.


In year 2009 I don't expect things to change much on this critical turn near Kumar Sahwas unless residents of Whispering Wind who are the sole sufferrers take combined efforts, especially following blunt comments by Mr. Ajit Shrowty, chairman of OJAS society "since we do not use this road, we are not with you" when I approached them for a joint application to PMC for the water logging issue.
