Thursday Challenge - Window

Windows of the Elphinstone College (my alma mater) of Mumbai.
Elphinstone College occupies a unique position in the annals of education in the country. It is one of the rarest institutions, born even before the University of Mumbai, to which it was later on affiliated. The building of the College, with its gothic architecture, has been classified as a grade I Heritage structure. The Elphinstone College was awarded Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for Culture Heritage Conservation, in 2004 by UNESCO for the one of the best Heritage buildings restored. This majestic building was designed by Trubshaw and Khan Bahadur Muncherjee Murzban in the 1880's. Originally meant to house the Government Central Press, it was completed by John Adams, Executive Engineer to the Bombay Government at a total cost of Rs 7,50,000 (Rupees seven and a half lakhs) which included a substantial sum donated by Sir Cowasjee Jehangir. The building was used for academic activities from April 1888.

Adarsh (Ideal) is the name of this skyscraper in the southern tip of Mumbai. Ironically this 'Ideal' 'Adarsh' building has become a symbol of corruption in governance (politicians & bureaucrats) here. They have broken almost every law in the book to build this structure and the benficiaries obviously are the politicians and bureaucrats. Our Chief Minister had to resign for this and many more heads are now on the chopping block.

A very old cinema house (since 1879)- Capitol - opposite the Chhatrapati Shivaji Railway Terminus.

Capitol first appeared as Gaiety – a Gothic playhouse meant to provide the Fort area's upper-class residents with an alternative to the Jagannath Shankar Seth Natyashala, the only other theatre located in the seedy Grant Road area. The edifice was built by Sorabji Kuverji Nazir, and was an exercise in excess, with a 40 by 70 ft long stage and a seating capacity of 880.When the Sidhwas, a Parsi family which also owns the Globe theatre in Kolkata, bought over the theater in 1929 and turned it into a ‘talkies', the seats were replaced with fine leather. A magnificent domed ceiling was added, and it was renamed the Capitol. Its first show– the premiere of a British film called The Flag Lieutenant – was attended by the Governor and his wife. A black-and-white image of Parsi ladies and suited Indians sitting next to British officers at the premiere still hangs from a wall in the manager's office.

Over the last decade though, Capitol, unable to bear the cost of its maintenance has lost much of its former glory and now, the building stands unused and lonely.
