A closer view reveals the wear-out paint that reads 'Sushant Saha Gruha Rachana Sanstha', ' Pashan Pune', 'Survey no 35'. Below that is perhaps the date 19 January and the year is not seen. But Mr. Sudhir Kolhatkar knows it is 1972 since he is one of the original members of this housing society which has a turbulent history since its inception 37 years back until Whispering Wind was built.
In year 2003, the concrete board is seen at the far end in photo below, ahead of the large Whispering Wind hoarding and just to the left of the auto-rickshaw with a white hood.

Panning to the right from here still standing on first floor of B-bldg, one has a romantic view of the hills with only MontVert Finesse Bldg-A complete and Bldg-C under construction.
The heap of bricks are not meant for construction at WW. Its one of the many brick kilns in the neighbourhood. No doubt atleast half a dozen corporators from the Pashan-Baner belt have a history of either owners of and some even workers at these brick kilns.

This is a partial view of the original play-area planned by builder and as shown in the brochure given to customers of Whispering Wind.

This is the view of A-bldg with the sample flat on 1st floor ready.
This is a photo of the central sitout area with the water-treatment plant just in place. Disregard by residents has left this facility unused till date.
This photo below is dated mid-august 2004 and the most striking feature herein is the absence of the joint between C- and B-bldgs which is shown in my previous post.
C-building is also complete now and the play-area has all vanished and work on the new club-house is seen underway. The pit with rainwater accumulated is perhaps the location of the swimming pool or may be just the trench for the wall foundation.
Finally, this is a distant view that shows consrtuction of D-bldg just started.
