ABC Wednesday

Posted by Picasa

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.

  1. Our "elites" are simply better at concealing their avarice.

    All over the world, working people must vote for the public. The rich are coasting-

  2. Power and money corrupt people everywhere. It's a sad thing, a shame, but I'm not sure there is a solution.

    One problem, too, is that the guilty often get off with a slap on the wrist. Most of our Wall Street people should be in jail along with many of the major politicians in power between 2000 and 2008.

    Unfortunately, they're still walking free and writing books! Ugh!

  3. In the news for all the wrong reasons! I wish that this will not be razed. Instead, be converted into old age homes and rehabilitation centres!

  4. Sadly, we're seeing this sort of thing almost everywhere! I agree totally with what Jacob has written! A great post for the day!

  5. Just like the perpetrators of the corruption, the symbol is also standing tall -- defying everything including the law.

  8. Real hard work has gone in there to break every law in the book and more hard work to wriggle out through loop holes too :P

  9. Once they demolish (if indeed!) this, your capture would become historic!

  10. India's not alone.. It's everywhere. Just that some places get exposed and others don't.

  14. Is the apartment that's been ordered to be demolish by the government? I read in the newspaper today about one apartment but can't recall the name, could this be the one?

  16. It's a waste to demolish this building, the government should just take over and sell/rent them to the low income citizen.

  17. Maybe it is a symbol of an "Adarsh corruption", if one can call it that.

  18. so tall... competing with heights of corruption...

    In tv they only showed bottom view, which didn;t give clear idea of its total height
