Dear Shubhra Ji,

                           You have shared some of the most fundamental points that go in favour of Gurgaon laying the definition of a "Smart City" for the rest of urban India.

Our ill-fortune has been :

1) Complete lack of vision, as and when events, policies (IF any) started going awry,

2) State leadership (mainly political, of course) saw it all in relation to the ducats it could amass for the rest of the State.

3) Fine in itself, but forgot how cheaply the land got bought, originally in the eighties  -- Govt. officials paid around Rs 35-Rs 50 per sq yd., while others paid (say to DLF) around Rs 450 to Rs 700 mid to late eighties !

4) Growth of the Sectors and the privately managed colonisers laid a healthy basis to attract funds and construction in myriad ways, BUT the official PLANNERS failed us all  -- no planning on roads, other communications for a City (in the shadow of the capital and the national & international airport), garbage cum sanitation related issues, water availability in the last quarter century & the future half century was never ever in their vision, both as of its own "institutional birth" and then having no "contact lenses", NOT even now, naturally!

And mind you, would one expect such a situation being based in a City like Chandigarh....!

Your most worthy set of comments one wishes the State's leadership, at all levels gets to absorb, after reading all your well thought-out points & experiences. As i used to say our good pioneering friend, Bhawani ji, our misfortune is that whatever that appears on the GURGAON pages in TOI or HT becomes for the system "Raddi", after late afternoons !

i want be a positive-thinking man, which i have always been in my life, but slowly & surely the last 18 years here has .......left one rudderless !

Best regards & Peace.
