punjabi_khota Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Wow..outdoor bath tub thingie with each apartment ? Is this Mumbai ?
Kohum Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 I don't think that's mumbai. The cars [3 black ones , a silver car in one corner] and the orange bricks don't line up well with mumbai. But I might be wrong. I like the building design. There are two burkha clad women. This might be some hotel in some Arab nation.
ludhianvi Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 omg, look at the balconies wow, but the person on the top floor can see those below :hehe:
Dirty_South Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 wow, but the person on the top floor can see those below :hehe: :hahaha: This is definitely not in India.
Macj Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Ive seen this sort of thing in Brazil a lot, unbelievable wealth next door to abject poverty. But the most beautiful women invariably come out from the favelas!Hmm mama mia!
Macj Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 The pic is from Sao Paulo Brazil: http://nynerd.com/2007/09/page/2/
Ram Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Lol, DLF is building a multi-storey, luxury apartment complex in Chennai with all the best amenities (fitness club, swimming pool, tennis/basketball court, shopping complex and even a school...) And its right next to the housing colony built by the T.N govt. for people displaced by the Tsunami. When the whole construction is done, I assume the sight will look very similar to this.
nikred Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 My house balcony has a pool too ..................when it rains a lot:((
cowboysfan Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 omg, look at the balconies wow, but the person on the top floor can see those below :hehe: i think its done so every pool has nice sunlight plus Brazilians want to be seen anyway.
pan_walla Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 If I was living in the poor part I would be launching daily raids to the other side to get paid and laid.
EnterTheVoid Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 What is going to happen to Dharavi ? Please watch http://www.sbs.com.au/dateline/story/watch/id/542458/n/Mumbai-Makeover

Too many people on this planet. I would take the money from politicians secret bank accounts and give it to poor of India.

Please watch http://www.sbs.com.au/dateline/story/watch/id/542458/n/Mumbai-Makeover In one scene you have a family of 8 living in a 1 room hutment. So heres the question to them , why the hell do you have 6 kids, when you couldnt provide for the first one you went ahead and had 5 more. Just great!

Recently, I downloaded a T.V. documentary called "The Indian Miracle" done by a British Television programme called "Dispatches" After showing the wealth, development etc, they proceeded to showing some of the poverty, where a quote uttered by a slum dweller living by the side of the road stood in my mind => "India is booming, only for the rich. For us, however things were 35 years ago, they're the same now" In regards to your question, maybe theres an expectation the kids will help, leave the nest early and fend for themselves for an early judge. I dont know :dontknow:
cochise Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah...the moment I saw the picture...I thought Brazil. Anybody seen this film? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_God_(film)) Well worth a watch.
