To Goanet - On Thursday, I went into the new Times of India office at Miramar to register my complaint about this encroachment on the pavement in front of their office -

This illustrates a deeper problem with Indians. They want all the trappings of the modern Western life but without any of the support systems that are mandated in the Western countries. We have this large residential building out of which the TOI & Radio Mirchi operate. But no parkling lot to service this commercial enterprise to which part of the building has been rented. Where are the employees supposed to park? Why did the CCP grant the commercial license? Can you imagine the situation when the monster hotel Kamat is building at the St Inez junction comes online? Indians ought to go back to bullock carts. That is where we are. Warm regards, r ps: The traffic chaos I had to confront early this morning at 1 am at the Shirgaon zatra! O Berther.
