I dont understand people complaining about this.
Who says its gonna be disaster for environment. Its basically gonna be reliance business hub and residence in 1 complex. If done properly it will eventually be a env/eco friendly structure. And I am sure he would not have got permission for structure like this ( yes even after paying under the table money
) unless some strict norms for such tall structures will be met during construction.
There was a big coverage of this by Mumbai mirror a while ago in newspaper. And from the looks of it, this will be one of the better structures as far as environmental effects are concerned.
The tall structures are simply inevitable in Mumbai from now on. If proper care is taken, any structure can be made eco friendly.
And before criticizing the rich people, in todays world its more difficult to maintain the business and make it grow than to start from bottom and reach top. Trust me, if these guys did not work hard to maintain such huge Reliance empire that their father built, it would have collapsed long time back.

Flaunting one's beautiful body in public is considered an obscene and punishable act by the IPC. Why make an exception of wealth, then?Chaos said:^^If you have the dough, why not flaunt it :rofl:. Nothing wrong in doing so... after all its your hard earned cash.
Besides, theirs is not hard earned money by any means. It's called exploitation. They have all the cash to buy every politician, MP and bureaucrat required to suck money off the "aam aadmi". Let's not forget that it's the middle-class that forms the backbone of taxes in this country. Businessmen like Ambanis, celebrities like Amitabh and players like Sachin tell lies, make lame excuses and even participate in frauds to not pay due taxes to the government. If you don't pay your taxes, expect IRS or CBI to come knocking at your door. How many wealthy businessmen or politicians have been sentenced to prison for not paying taxes or making illegal black money?
Indian middle-class lost its backbone in trying to make money, by any means. We simply don't have the guts to challenge the business ethics of such parasites, or to make changes to the corrupt government and bureaucracy. Even our social values are being sacrificed for money.
You'll obviously disagree with me, for I'm the kind of person who now rides a bicycle to save the environment. I'm doing my part, and I expect others to contribute theirs.

Yes, it does! Obscene display of wealth affects the youth and their inspirations. We already have had enough kids who wanted to be like Bill Gates for his money, and there are millions who do still. Our youth have already traded their mental and physical health for mere wealth, thanks to all the call centers and BPO jobs. They seem fixated on the meaning of life being earning money at any cost, only to buy a few gadgets and look cool in the modern non-culture.
Are there any left who appreciate the nature and want to lead a simple, but meaningful life? Remember - you're not what you wear; you're not your shoes; you're not your iPod; you're not what you drive, and you're not what the corporates want you to be - nothing more than a consumer, a simpleton.
There is more to you than you're being sold.

Well, about call center jobs, I donno if all the youth get drawn to them for money or just the prospect of a better life and feeling useful i.e. having something to do that will earn them a respectable income. I've had a few friends who would not have been employed as they did not possess the (over) qualifications to get decent paying jobs. Call center employment is keeping them going on. Just my opinion.

Shradha, don't worry. There are a lot of threads with people arguing over politics and the likes in the general talk section. As long as we don't attack each other personally :no: it's all good :hap2: .
Unfortunately most of these threads turn into personal slug fests for a bit
.
It's true that he has grown to dislike many things social, political and socio-political, but his remarks aren't always pessimistic or apocalyptic. So many things have been uttered by so many people in the past, that it's also not possible to be entirely original in these contexts. His thought-processes definitely differ with the rest of the gene pool, and even by a wide margin sometimes. But then, he believes in changing himself before asking others to.vij said:
