For a change, let’s stop talking about the real estate developments in our country. We all know what has happened in the last few years and how property prices have shot up. But what about the quality of life in our cities? ![]() 1. Are we getting the best bang for our buck? 2. Is ROI on your money the only important thing? 3. Is there any city that has everything to offer? Please feel free to provide your feedback. Last edited by rahulD; 26-05-08 at 11:01 AM. |

Don’t we all know the condition of the Indian cities??
Govt. is doing what they are best at! Finding out as many new avenues on how to add as many commodities into the tax ambit. Whether you run in the gym, or have a snack or get a hair trim; for every little thing, you got to pay a tax. When are they going to start taxing for being fit and even breathe? I couldn’t agree more with Osho who said that all this happens for a reason. The government does not want to improve the quality of life of its people, coz if the people started having a good life, they would become wiser and more aware. And with that awareness, they would demand for a better governance and make sure that they make it happen. When everyday life is a struggle and it’s a maddening rush, who has the energy left to look into these important areas? Life is just a constant struggle. Look at countries like Australia, Singapore and even Dubai. Dubai is built on a desert and comprises of 70% Indians who have made the place so livable and prosperous. Governed by the visionary Sheikhs, they knew about their depleting oil reserves, so they got into so many other areas and made full use of the Indian minds and their work force Australia is 4-5 times bigger than India and manages so well by such a small population. Go to any small town or a village and you would be surprised to see the quality of roads, footpaths, parks and other facilities. They still have their migration open to so many countries and with 100's of nationalities living in Aus; they continue to maintain those high standards of living. None of our governments have cared for its people. I read it somewhere, when the British left India, one of their senior generals said that this country will be ruled by the mobs.

Isnt that true?
We cannot keep blaming the people and the population. Its the government that does not want anything to change. Systems have become more corrupt and the educated class has no say. When it comes to votes, a bottle of cheap liquor and a blanket does the job so who needs you, my friend? Surprisingly they have the best brains to collect the taxes. But when it comes to utilizing these taxes, they simply don't care. We are paying 100% more for cars than what we would pay in developed countries. What for? Your favorite imported cheese or biscuits are double the price. Is this protection for the domestic industries or just looting the people? The politicians have become so shameless. They drive around in expensive cars; have massive properties overseas and making merry of the booming Indian economy. All the systems are virtually defunct. Talk about the Police, Municipality or any other govt. dept. No one wants to do their job. So we Indian citizens are shelling out so much more money than many other developed countries for the sub-standard life-style PROUDLY sponsored by the INDIAN GOVERNMENT. |
