Say for e.g Churchgate offices can open at 10.00 am;<br /> Nariman Point 11.00 am. BKC ....<br /><br />Many Schools and Colleges implement it. Morning 7 am to 1 pm and afternoon 1.30 pm to 6.30pm.<br />Hotels and BPOS implement shifts<br /><br />Why not offices?<br /><br />There is a solution to everything provided <br />1) we can think and implement Out of The Box solutions<br />2) utilize time to our advantage.<br /><br />Kryon Channel (India)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05250226049760028311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849432540563319435.post-31123468273125535612015-09-07T01:17:37.961-07:002015-09-07T01:17:37.961-07:00Brilliant article Mayankbhai....Thanks for highlig...Brilliant article Mayankbhai....Thanks for highlighting such critical issues which an average Mumbaikar tends to ignore, Its a complete eye opener...Awaiting articles on you insight & vision on Mumbai.

Congratulations for writing such a...Dear Mayank Ji,<br />Congratulations for writing such a good article. It opens our eyes how badly we are managing ourselves. But you will agree with me that it is not that our administrators / politicians do not understand these problems. It is the vested interest or corruption in the system which doesn't allow good decisions to prevail. you have also given the hint for the same in your article.<br />To solve the issue of corruption or develop a corruption free system we require a political setup witch itself is corruption free and that is the reason AAP has taken birth. But if we have to achieve success in long term or in entire country, it is important that AAP is developed from its infant stage to its youth in a manner that it does not deviate from its path like Congress the Party responsible to achieve our freedom. I feel before we decide to contest the elections any where, kindly try to make an ideal setup of the Party when it is small. The virtues we are visualizing in our system should be imbibed in our Party. Democracy, discipline,financial transparency,RTI etc. should become the norm of the Party before it is expended and thrown open for contesting the elections. <br />Regards,<br />U.C.BhartiyaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202865859267307694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849432540563319435.post-18888865456990421022015-09-06T11:35:31.454-07:002015-09-06T11:35:31.454-07:00Very well articulated and an excellent initiative ...Very well articulated and an excellent initiative Windswept Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897261612717396408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849432540563319435.post-59598928433227851322015-09-06T10:25:04.360-07:002015-09-06T10:25:04.360-07:00Hi Mayank,
As a Mumbaikar, my observation has bee...Hi Mayank,<br /><br />As a Mumbaikar, my observation has been that most often in a 2,3,4 etc lane road the extreme left lane is either illegally occupied by car parks, roadside vendors etc thus reducing the length for vehicles to travel. If you see in Amsterdam, there they have trams as a mojor form of transport along with cars and buses and offcourse bicyles.. If in Mumbai, that extreme left lane is rather put to 'Tram' use, that not only adds a major transport option without actually reducing the existing length available to cars and buses, but also does away illegal occupancy and brings a good look to the city. Such trams should be given right-of-way at traffic signals and intersections. Once it passes, then allow regular traffic movement. I think it does not call for a major investment from the Government and can be implemented rather quickly with immediate impact on traffic congestion reduction. What say?Ralsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849432540563319435.post-77671756519866727462015-09-06T09:55:22.342-07:002015-09-06T09:55:22.342-07:00Fantastic.

Despite government attempts to discourage the influx of people, the city's population grew at an annual rate of more than four percent a year. Many newcomers end up in abject poverty, often living in slums or sleeping in the streets. An estimated 42 percent of the city's inhabitants live in slum conditions. Some areas of Mumbai city have population densities of around 46,000 per square kilometer—among the highest in the world.<br />As a result of Mumbai's size and high growth rate, urban sprawl, traffic congestion, inadequate sanitation, and pollution pose serious threats to the quality of life in the city.
