CJP, Subah Ho Gayi Mamu..??

“The most dangerous form of blindness is believing that your perspective is the only reality” ... Fredrich Nietzsche.

“Rules are for children. This is war, and in war the only crime is to lose.”, Joe Abercrombie

“Believe the best about the young people you lead, and offer direction to them out of wisdom, not fear.” … Tim Elmore

"The biggest mistake a leader can do, is taking the followers granted"… Me.

Well, I need not have to explain the subject of sharing as most of you must have got the flair from the quotes, though no one can beat Nietzsche when it comes to be bang on target about human behaviour, Abercrombie & Elmore tells us about handling the youth & my words just sum up the outcome. Yes, it’s about CJP (no need to google also) & it is about the present scenario of the society of our country & it is more about the take away for me (on personal front) as well for the society or say Boomers (you can google this)! First and foremost (disclaimer one), I neither propagate nor condemn Mr Abhijit Dipke & not necessarily I am in sync with his or CJP’s demands as philosophy yet they have to format. At the same time, I am not speaking for the present rulers or opposition or say any political party because “Muze to sabhi political logoki shakle sariki dikhti hai” (courtesy Salim Javed & Bachchan, check Sholay)!  I am just sharing as my understanding of the whole episode (yes as its first episode as Mr Dipke has said, and many more to follow) & what I myself need to learn from it as well what we can as a society, so its readers choice to make their own conclusions!

Exactly on 16^th May, a twit (X platform) came from a young man who was in USA then & it says we have formed CJP i.e. Cockroach Janta Party & it’s in response to comment from Hon Supreme Court’s Chief Justice where he termed jobless youths of our country as Cockroaches! In one day, there were more followers to this account than most of the celebrities in the world & the country, which is normal because that’s how this new generation or today’s world is. Just like in Pune, any new restaurant or eating joint draws a huge crowd, some social media accounts also follow the trend! What was uncommon is what happened post that as our MaiBapp govt got agitated with this social media party & tried to block its accounts & just the name suggests the CJP accounts kept popping with different identities! And then the NEET paper leaked (plz google about NEET) & Dipke used CJP social media, to demand resignation of the Central Education Minister itself over this paper leak, agitating Mai Baap govt further more. In the month of June Mr Dipke declared that he is returning to his home country & will start a protest in real world on behalf of CJP, demanding resignation of union Edu minister, in Delhi at JantarMantar which is activists/ protesters hotspot! This too was slightly abnormal but in a country which has been formed on protests from the common men, is still normal! In the meantime NEET paper leak crime’s inquiry was on, many people got arrested, a new date for NEET was declared, again lakhs of students appeared & cleared, so the govt as well as the media thought the resignation issue is finished as the cause itself has been gone. Dipke & his, some hundred odd buddies kept on protesting for resignation as well compensation for the lost lives of students because of cancelled NEET exam, & slowly even the media’s interest faded. Then one Mr Wangchuk, a simple common man turned activist from Ladakh joined the protest of these youths declaring Hunger strike till death unless these youths's demands are not met! This too is common, as in recent times there have also been men & women going for hunger strike for their respective demands from govt, so the hunger strike went on. When the health of Mr Wangchuk deteriorated, court intervened, and govt decided to step in & stop this hunger strike as after all Mr Wangchuk has international identity & govt can’t accept its defamation right or wrong from such single person’s hunger strike, especially when our Hon PM is busy in portraying country’s image across the globe as best society & country leading the world on right path of life! And the govt decided to stop Mr Wangchuk’s hunger strike by any means & even changed the bureaucracy which was responsible for handling this, and this too is normal as that’s how govts’ act!

So, the police reached at Janta Mantar, lifted up (literally) Mr. Wangchuk, put him in a van & took to a hospital to break his hunger strike & got thought the job is done in normal way! And what happened after this is not just abnormal but a tsunami, which is the subject of my sharing! As this action by govt was like throwing a burning matchstick in a store, full of firecrackers & within no time the firework started, which no body expected! Have you ever witnessed any such fire where a shop or storage of firecrackers starts bursting as here, there is no set pattern of firework, any type of fire crackers takes any path & bursts in its own way. If you think this is a weird analogy then check Insta or any social media & look what happened during last week at not just Jantar Mantar but the fire spread all across the cities & towns as every youth was on road to protest, demanding release of Wangchuk & resignation of education Minister. This is the generation which we have discarded as useless, lazy, lost in the virtual world, not keeping in tune with reality, (nikamme in Hindi) & what not! No-body believed, definitely not the govt, that these youths can actually hit the road & protest without fear, more furiously than any political or social party! And do mind, none of them were associated with any political party, many of them even didn't know what a Union Minister is & might of the Central govt, rather they cared a damn about it & this is what the govt failed to understand. Sometimes, when you don’t know your enemy’s power & yet go all guns to fight with him, it's good as then you fight without fear while the enemy is caught surprised & in any war surprises can be the most lethal weapon which happened at Jantar Mantar, is my subject of sharing!

The tactics such as using police force, jamming the internet, even blocking roads & closing public transport & such, which the govt used were age old & this generation didn’t bother & found a way to beat govt on every front. Most importantly, the govt till the end didn’t understand with whom they are actually fighting as Wangchuk represents Hoopers (plz google) while those who were fighting for him are of his grandchildren’s age. Actually, this class’s parents are mostly supporters of the ruling govt, these all were educated kids (mostly) & yet they showed their displeasure (not anger) towards govt not because they support or oppose any party but they are tired of the system which they think just doesn’t care about their future! This is something the govt in ruling & the govt’s in future must take note of, as when the unrest surfaced in our neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bangladesh or SriLanka, our leaders & even the seniors in the society said, it’s because of the small size of these countries, it happened. Such kind of protests are not possible in a country where the population of youth is nearly fifty crores plus! But, this is where we fail to understand the basics of nature as we can’t take anybody or anything granted especially categorizing on things like numbers, age, wealth or education! Many of these protesters don't even think that what difference resignation of some minister can make as that wasn’t the issue anymore, they just wanted the govt named system to listen to their cry & the only way this cry can stop was resignation! It’s just the way when a small kid demands something & doesn’t stop till it gets that thing & whatever you do wont buzz that kid from giving away his demand, this is something the govt failed to understand as it has never encountered such an opponent!

Though this is an alarm sign, as the protest & successful end of it by making the minister resign is now the kid knows if it cries with full guns then the parents (MaiBaap govt) gives up & fulfils kid’s demand, however absurd it may be! I am not judging whether resignation was right or wrong though one thing is sure, our education system needs to be reformed as on one side there are millions of jobs vacant & on other side there are billions of youths are unemployed, means something is seriously wrong! The job seeker thinks he is being offered very less & the job giver thinks the candidate is not worth of what he or she is expecting as salary, is the scene! At the same time govt schools are struggling for getting enough numbers of students & on other side every day some new private school with fat fee packages are opening, even in small towns! Here if the private medical colleges are calling students with fee structure going beyond budget of even high-income parents, then on other hand NEET giving numbers are crossing seven-digit figures. And even if you become a doctor, decent earning seems a faraway sight! The same story is about every trade & with Western countries tightening their noose for jobs for outsiders (especially Indians) that option is also not easy now & all this frustration rather fear, got reflected at Jantar Mantar, & that is outcome of the present & past govt’s ignorance towards the education system at large, is what I feel! On personal front, I also learned my lesson (at govt’s cost), & that is, never be ignorant however the comfort zone you are in & never take any segment of your business garnets, may it be client, market or luck, always be vigilant & don’t let your ego clash with your profession! Though the journey ahead will be more difficult because of one main characteristics of Gen Z that is, lack of consistency & its because lack of focus or patience, which doesn’t even wait for twenty seconds on the social media! To keep this force engaged & on right track for long isn’t an easy job & that’s not possible without some organized structure in place, is what I feel, which will be the real challenge for CJP!

Coming to the hero ( or villain, whatever you may call) of the script Abhijit Dipke, who himself may not be a GenZ guy but if you ask me what’s special about him ,well my answer is, do you know Bhagirath, Gautam Buddha, Sir Isac Newton, Shivaji Maharaj, Savarkar & Mahatma Gandhi & what's common thing in all these/ They dared to take on the system, to challenge the belief of the society & they  didn’t wait for someone else to take the lead but came forward & stood in front by themselves, this is what twenty nine year old Abhijit Dipke did & that’s why for me, he is special. I may not agree to all his statements or views but I can’t stop respecting his courage as how many people would have gaveup comforts of USA & dared to sit on streets of Delhi (literally) without any support & demand resignation of a union minister, none, take my word none, that’s why he is special! And if you disagree with me, then look what Abhijit & his Bros’ did, apart from taking resignation of some minister, they made every opposition party in the country to declare support to CJP because CJP did which none of them combined could do, & that is, to unite the youths & make them hit the streets without any paid benefits! In today’s world even for campaigning of Lok Sabha seats with an in-power party’s ticket, also requires money to gather karyakartas’ & here, millions protested for no reward, not even demanding any in any form, that’s what Dipke did & that’s why he is special! For his & CJP, the journey ahead will be more interesting as today its education system’s some part like NEET but its tip of the iceberg, there is a lot to be improved & for that just protests won’t be enough. Abhijit, if you ever read this piece then do mind, even your idol, Babasaheb could change the fate of Dalits only by joining the govt & not by just protests, as to change the system you have to become the system, is the right way! Last but not least, all kudos to Abhijit’s parents because imagine their young son alone taking on the entire Indian govt, what they must have gone through! Today, all those who raise banners of Shivaji Maharaj & Shri Ram & Ambedkar, but how many of them can see their own son or daughter living by the path which these people have walked on, can any of us do that, ask this question to ourselves & may there be many more Abhijits’ in this country in every field, as then only there is some still hope, adios with this note!

Garbage, Silent Killer of the City!

 

--

“If you have garbage in your head, house cleaners won't help you.” ― Tamerlan Kuzgov

“The scale of the mess we leave behind is proportionate to the level of respect we have for others.” ― Stewart Stafford

“What we do with our garbage is decides what we are within” --- Me

I am sure the quotes of Kuzgov & Stafford & my conclusion from them gives you a fair idea about the subject rather than the object of sharing & if you are (read as still you are) reading newspapers & keep track of what’s happening around us, apart from Iran-USA war & football world cup! It's about garbage or say litter (in Hindis, Kuda/Kachra) & reason is, we all know garbage is hazardous to our health but this time the garbage thingy actually killed humans by engulfing them just the way raging ocean or river or fire swallows whatever comes in its way! And if after such a tragic incident we still close our eyes & ears (and nose too) towards it then today it's some eight people from poor background (read as financially) who were the victim of garbage the tomorrow our entire city will be the victim, is the reason for my sharing!  We all dislike garbage & to such an extent that we throw everything labelled as garbage from our eyesight’s jurisdiction & that's a popular concept of our cleanliness (read as most Indians)! I come across many women (and men too) who are fussy about their love for cleanliness & nothing wrong about it but when I ask them where they put away all the litter (garbage) or say unwanted things which are of no use, then the answer is, they throw it in dust bin or dump on “potmala” (loft) & in some cases they give away which is useless to them! Means we can categorize our home garbage in mostly three categories, one is we really think this is of no use & throw it in our dust bins, second is, we think right now its of no use but some day it may be useful & we keep it out of our sight & dump on loft & third is (though it’s a small quantity) things which we think someone can use, such as used good quality clothes or shoes or utensils etc & we give it to needy people ( I am deliberately not mentioning the category of these people out of respect for their trades)! But one thing is common, we want to get rid of all these things from our immediate surroundings & pushing them away is the only solution we usually have for garbage!

On all such backgrounds, there was a tragic incident (I won’t call it an accident) in PCMC /Pune region where at a garbage depot site tons of garbage fell on an administrative building nearby of the garbage treatment plant & nearly twenty plus staff got trapped inside. With a rescue operation which went for nearly three days, eleven people were rescued but nine people lost their lives. I can imagine the tragic death if it's not sudden, trapped under building material & with the entire air around is full of foul smell & sustained injuries due to falling debris, this type of death is the worst for sure, though any untimely death is bad which was the case with these people! I am not judging nor I am an authority about the legality of the said building or whose fault it was etc but one thing is sure such things as an engineer I can’t call it as accident because an accident is something which happens even when you have taken all sorts of precautions & a garbage heap falling on a building causing its collapse & reason for death, certainly doesn’t come under the accident category! As usual there will be an inquiry committee & suspension of authorities & police will file FIR etc, the usual drama will follow, point is, who is the actual culprit behind this garbage mishap & what are we going to do about it, is my subject of sharing!

Before I move ahead, one question (those who have patience to read plz reply), how many of you know what is a garbage depot & how many of you have visited one such from inside? If you want to know my answer, garbage depot is a dedicated piece of land where garbage of entire or part of the city is collected & yes, I have visited more than once garbage depot for Pune city which earlier was at Paud Road Kothrud & the one at Fursungi, eastern suburb of Pune. And trust me, though the visit lasted for less than an hour the smell remained in my lungs (more in my head) for many more hours & the visuals remained with me still even after years, such is the dread of the place! Now imagine people who work here for their livelihood & died because of it, have we ever thought from where all this garbage comes from & it includes things right from used clothes to blood-soaked bandages to rotten food & even dead bodies of domestic animals & a lot more which I can’t even describe! And humans work here to process this garbage which is generated by each of us just because we want our surroundings to be clean, we dump it somewhere & from that somewhere it ends at the garbage depot. Do we know how much garbage is generated everyday in Pune city alone, well it's nearly 2300 tons per day & this too is collected one, while nearly half of it doesn’t even get collected means nearly 3000 tons, we produce garbage every day! However bad the garbage scene is at garbage depot, at least it’s being collected at one place but the garbage which doesn’t reach to such depot is more dangerous as either its being burned polluting air we breathe or it finds its way to our natural resources such as streams or hills or open areas polluting them or infrastructure such as storm water lines, clogging them! This is why there are no more fresh water streams in Pune but only nallahs or say open gutters & most of our open lands are covered with thrash which has been created by the humans living in its neighbourhood only! And do mind except humans no other species create garbage on this earth so we alone are responsible for the right disposal of the mess we are creating & have created, we can’t shift our this responsibility (read as sin) on anybody else! Those who call  tree's leaves falling on ground as garbage, they are ignorant fools as it's part of nature’s cycle & we have removed earth cover by concrete, that’s why these leaves can’t get converted organic fertilizers by getting mixed with the soil & we conveniently tag it as garbage!

Now coming to the main aspect, what can I do about it? Because, it's easy to blame others but difficult to come ahead & take responsibility, which is the need of the time if we want the garbage named killer to be in control, is my subject of sharing! Well, first & foremost chalk down your daily routine & make a checklist of things which generates garbage, right from you ordering anything on the online trade portals which creates maximum garbage for packaging to your home keeping habits, write down every single thing as unless you don’t document generation fronts you won’t be able to control it, is simple fact. And then minimise ordering online or try to order all your need based things in one go, as three orders means three packages’ means three-time garbage, this may sound funny or extreme but that’s fact! I, on a personal front, never like online shopping & agreed not everybody can live like me but at least you can improve your shopping habits, right? Then comes ordering of food, which is another garbage generation via its packaging & via leftover as in hotel you don’t have to pack food but get served in open plate as well the left over is collectively disposed of or even used to feed street living people (beggars, I won’t use the term)! So, try ordering as little food as you can, this will also make you eat home made food, a good byproduct for your health(lol)! At the same time at work level also just see that, how you can use every piece of paper to its fullest & segregate properly whatever is really labelled as garbage & think recycling / reuse whatever you can!. Most importantly, see that finally what you are throwing as garbage must be minimum in quantity & goes in the right hands for further treatment!

On city level, though govt knows everything yet doesn’t do anything as there is no quantification of how many societies have got a segregation system of dry & wet garbage & how much wet garbage is treated at local level, which is supposedly mandatory for all new buildings! At the same time taking strict actions against societies & citizens who are not following norms & creating or say disposing garbage in the wrong way, this is something always sidelined by the civic bodies for the obvious reason of not making the vote bank angry! Creating strong awareness among school kids via presentations can be an effective way. At the same time, we can conduct not just "Clean Society' or 'Clean School" competitions but "Zero Garbage Society" or "Zero Garbage School" & promote the importance of reduction in generation of garbage & treating it in the right way at source! Last but least the govt (read as all political leaders & policy makers) stop pleasing your voters by accepting their wrong demands as some ten years back a garbage depot reservation was cancelled from Punavale suburb of PCMC resulting the present Moshi garbage depot site getting overloaded with garbage which is main reason for the mishap! Today all those so-called leaders & activists shouting against the mishap were either silent or vouched for cancelling the garbage depot reservation because nobody wanted to make the respective vote bank unhappy & that’s why we all are guilty for the death of those nine lives! And this is not the case or situation of so-called big cities, you travel on State or National highways & before & after in small villages you will see small piles of garbage all along the road on both sides as these villages or towns doesn’t have any means to treat or dispose their garbage & the generation is on all the time, with govt turning blind eye towards this sad byproduct of our so-called development or urbanization! Special mention to Adar Poonawala foundation which is generously helping with machinery & manpower to fight the garbage problem for the city & more companies, organizations must come forward to join hands, is what I want to share!

Guys, Moshi garbage depot mishap is silent warning from the silent killer named garbage & today it's just one building which got hit by the garbage mountain tomorrow it will be entire city which will be swallowed by the garbage & that day we alone will be at blame for ignoring this silent warning from the silent killer, adios with this note!

Understanding Redevelopment !

 

--

“Always take time out for rejuvenation and redirection.
Inquire as you move along the path.
There is no one best way. Different paths—different solutions.
Refinement is a constant process of growth for better results!”… Joseph S. Spence Sr.

Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great… John. D. Rockefeller

Most of the time our choices with greed are what lands us in trouble… Me.

Joseph’s quote makes us know the importance of change or rejuvenation while the world's richest person’s (of his time) quote may not be keeping in mind the subject of my sharing but shows us about the path for better life while my outcome is on basis of above two greats & what I see around them! Well, it's about redevelopment, a buzz word in the entire old Pune & while many hail it as a destruction factor of the city & its charm, the fact is every alternate society or bungalow is opting for it, so how we balance it, is my subject of sharing! Recently surprisingly I was approached by one of the societies in our locality (Patwardhan baug, Erandwane, Pune) for guiding their members about concept of redevelopment at large, I also happen to have a small unit in this society so I have kept myself away from the redevelopment procedure just to avoid conflicts of interest, yet I accepted the invite as a challenge to balance the role as a builder, engineer, a member & a citizen. One more aspect is when you address an open forum that too hard core Punekars then your brain has to work in sharpest mode & its like polishing also, so I accepted the invite & told them I will make a small PPT about the concept & which (as usual) I thought can be a good sharing also, for my readers(lol)!

I am writing this sharing the way I gave a presentation as that’s easier to make the concept reach to the end users, here we go…

While addressing the audience, I said , I feel like Arjun of Mahabharat as most of the time redevelopment (rather in any deal), the society members looks up the builder as opposite party (read as enemy) but here I am standing as a builder, an engineer, a member too & you neighbour also, so I see all familiar faces in front of me & I have to explain the war ahead (take it as a PJ)of which I am part! But, I said I will try to be as neutral as I can for sure!

What is Redevelopment

Rejuvenation, Regroup, Reset

It’s like a Snake skin peeling (or shedding), known as ecdysis

Not just an increase in area, but a bit of comfort, a new start.

This is something of a base of the entire redevelopment concept because for me as an engineer when at some stage get a clear plot then it’s a new start like any other development. Only difference is in a vacant plot or a bungalow plot I have to deal with single or fewer owners while in case of redevelopment I have to deal with numbers of owners who are going to be my clients also, this aspect they must understand! And I have to plan to accommodate three aspects, existing flat holders, the new buyers & myself as unless all these three doesn’t get blanacely happy, the project is not going to work! And this is not only my responsibility but the society’s members too! This is the difference between a regular plot buying & developing it & developing existing society as, if you directly sell your land or plot, then what the builder does on it, you are not concerned with it which isn’t a case with redevelopment as your homes are also tied with the developer’s homes available for sale. And if these homes get unsalable for reasons which we will discuss ahead, your home also gets stuck with them! And the redevelopment is not just an addition in your existing area, that’s just one of the aspects, the main thing is upgrading of life which unfortunately most people are forgetting. Here I showed them slides of recent redevelopment projects & situation in them, as the margins (distance from plot boundary & building) are getting reduced in comparison to height of building, practically, we are ending up building modern chawl (old cramped structures) with no natural light or ventilation or greenery around & no privacy also! And what we are supposed to have, is a better home in all aspects of life, that should be the focus of redevelopment! In a nutshell, we must first decide what kind of new home we want in exchange of our existing homes, that’s redevelopment in the right way!

Why Redevelopment?

 Life of existing RCC structure (earthquake resistant design)

Lift & Services upgrading

Safety aspect such as Fire, Security

High maintenance of existing plumbing/electrical system

MS Windows, doors, specifications upgradation.

Lifestyle i.e. attach toilet to bed rooms, AC, Solar

Parking

And expanded family

The list can be as long as you can think as most of the buildings which have been built in late 80’s or early 90’s were built keeping in focus needs & not comfort. As well the structural design norms also were as per the IS Code then & post Killari earthquake (plz google), Pune also now has been listed in zone 3 & the structural designs are made accordingly, which the earlier buildings are not!  Car parking was not subject of fighting & trees were welcome. These society’s reflected the mind set of Wada Culture, where privacy was not the focus of planning & togetherness was an important factor in lifestyle! Unfortunately, in just three to four decades the entire aspect of living has been changed & I am not an authority to comment its right or wrong but somewhere our concept of home has changed a lot. Now we want to accommodate our comfort & luxury above our togetherness & existing home suddenly seems like an obstacle. Partly true but look at the list of why we are opting for redevelopment & all of them speak about change of our lifestyle & in the new home many things can be accommodated but all these come with a price is what I tell them. Here you are not changing your address, land is the same but you are adding more homes over it along with increase in your own home size & that doesn’t happen free! This is where we must focus on planning & using right specifications & amenities than just going for brands or from Insta/ FB posts. Here is where a professional, sensible, planning mind is important as which are amenities that will make your life really comfortable than adding stresses to your life must be thought of! Things like Car Lift or Stack parking, on plan may take care of your vehicles but for use they can be a botheration. Same is with plumbing fittings & gadgets. Posh & fancy looking door fittings, taps, showers look nice but their use is very delicate & normal plumbers can’t repair it. Same way, designer tiles are impossible to replace & you end up refurnishing the entire toilet if any tile gets damaged or you have to accept patch work! Instead, sturdy & proven but less fancy things work better. Same thing is about security, a CCTv is a post action thing, to prevent theft is important, plan the project accordingly, that matters most & these things once installed can’t be replaced easily. Though, it's equally true, comfort can be achieved with the right planning & redevelopment is an opportunity for us to do so, just do it wisely, is what I told them!

My responsibility as a Member!

Area

Sale

Sustainability

Time is essence

Here comes the tricky point as most people think like a landlord while in redevelopment you are nearly as responsible as the developer because you are part of that development & if you choose the developer wrongly then it’s your fault, that’s responsibility number 1! As the coin named redevelopment has three sides, Heads is, existing members, Tails is the builder & Edge of coin is the new buyers of the project, & all three sides matter, especially the edge! Do mind, redevelopment is successful (read as sustainable) only where sale rate of flats are in five digits per sft & the person who is buying the flat here is paying huge money & he deserves value for it! With UDCPR (plz google) rules for development, there is huge supply & options are there so the new buyer has choice & he is ready to wait for the right home, which he feels is not you or your builder! And that sales aspect you must take in consideration by becoming part of the builder’s team, no shame in it! Because the entire dynamics of redevelopment is on the sale of additional units & no builder is Raja Harishchandra to build more area for you from his pocket! At the same time this is a chance for the society to think out of the box & secure your future. Day by day urban infrastructure is going to get costlier & if society can make some area available for renting by reducing their own new area a bit, then this area can be used for leasing to some bank or super shoppe & earn good rent which will reduce society’s monthly expenses in future!

Last but not least, time is the essence, the more you delay the process of redevelopment (once decided to redevelop) you only will be the looser as day by day markets are getting tight & changing policies of urban planning is one more threat. Already there are talks about reducing load on central parts of Pune because the infrastructure is collapsing is a fact & first axe will be on curtailing FSI/ TDR of central city means redevelopment proposals! If that happens then whatever additional area we are getting today, we won’t get even half of it is a fact!

 

Nachiket

Ownership rights

Temple

Apt -Society status change

Legal Issues

Coming to the specific aspect of Nachiket, I told them, it can be compared with, first to understand the depth of the water we are going to swim in. As our land is fixed, our members are fixed, our existing area is fixed & so are the FSI & TDR things, the only thing which we can control is what we want. As well, many members are not aware about the importance of individual family’s ownership rights about their flat in redevelopment. Basically, Maharashtrian families (no offence, just an observation) are never known for keeping clarity in property matters & in legality, emotions don’t count much. So, every member must check his or her own ownership regarding the respective flat as these things later delays the entire procedure. There is a small temple of Hanumanji at Nachiket & fortunately as this project has been built with my own work was going around in the neighborhood, I could confidently tell them that there is absolutely no harm in shifting the temple with proper pooja & shared a story which I knew about that temple!  At the same time, Nachiket is apartment condominium & it can  get changed to society when we will be accommodating the new members, by following a legal process, is also something they weren’t knowing. And then about changing ownership also of the respective apartments as in most of the redevelopment cases the present owners are senior citizens & they can add the name of their siblings on the added area or new property they will be getting as such things does help in future. We (read as Maharashtrians’) treat home or any property as an emotional commodity but legality of the same is equally important!

Rights, Rewards, Responsibility

To conclude, I told them, if you think as an owner that you have a right to get rewards, then no reward comes without responsibility, & our responsibility is not only towards ourself or our family but towards the entire society & city & yes, about the nature around us! Redevelopment is an opportunity to correct our course & make life better, how we use that opportunity that only will decide your fate, all the best!
