As we all know, BMC's commissioner is Ashwini Bhide.

We must question her as to why BMC is going through with the decision. Ultimately, she is responsible for all the decisions that matter. That's how leadership works. Think of her as the CEO of the city.

Why should we question her in particular, one may ask?

Simply because her son lives in San Francisco. He did his Bachelors in USA. What's so special about San Francisco?

It provides a whopping 89 m² to 120 m² of green space per person.

What about Mumbai?

Mumbai has an atrocious 1.1 - 1.24 m^(2) of accessible open and green spaces per person. I don't think people who have ever lived out of India will ever understand what this difference means. 

The bed you sleep in has more area than your proportional green space in this city..........

Open to discuss and debate :)

This is rather fantastic news. They have already deployed and launched the plastic trapping nets on Malad and Trombay Creek!

For anyone unfamiliar with their work, check out https://theoceancleanup.com/

They are extremely proficient at reducing plastic pollution from ever reaching into the seas and have had success in Southeast Asia. I'm super glad they came to Mumbai as this gives some much needed support to BMC and other stakeholders as well.

It is a well established phenomenon that many delivery drivers choose to work in the rain. Having less orders to delivery makes their journeys and waiting periods longer which ultimately leads to less orders delivered per time period for them. 

They have FULL choice on whether they choose to work a particular day or hour – or not. If they do end up working, it is in their best interest that total orders don’t drop and people keep ordering. Again, it is a gig job. They have full authority over their own schedules. Don’t compare our salaried predicaments to them. 

You are not helping anyone by ordering less on a day when it can be significantly more lucrative for them. 

However, please do tip them well and ask your watchmen to be especially courteous and to allow them to park, if they can’t already, in roofed areas. 

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has ever felt if streets have become quieter (or not) as compared to when ICE cars were more common.

I read somewhere that almost all new car registrations were also EVs. And, I was curious about some aspects of owning an EV in Norway.

Does anyone know if the logistics industry is using EV trucks as well?

Do many who own EVs also have their own chargers in apartments/homes?

How common are reliable EV chargers in extremely isolated areas?

Thank you!!

As expected, the heavy rains have translated to water supply. This will also increase as the extent of the catchment area is much larger than the surface area of the lakes.

As we all know, BMC's commissioner is Ashwini Bhide.

We must question her as to why BMC is going through with the decision. Ultimately, she is the one who signs off on all the decisions that matter. Think of her as the CEO of the city.

Why should we question her in particular, one may ask?

Simply because her son, Malhar Bhide, lives in San Francisco. He did his Bachelors in USA and is now running a startup in one of the most developed cities in the USA. What's so special about San Francisco?

It provides a whopping 89 m² to 120 m² of green space per person. Let's only go through with the lower number. What about Mumbai? Mumbai has an atrocious 1.1 - 1.24 m^(2) of accessible open green space per person. I don't think people who have ever lived out of India will ever understand what this difference means. The bed you sleep in has more area than your proportional green space in this city.

See, it's the hypocrisy that's astounding. They pretend that green spaces are not important or needed, sign good projects, get good money, then use that money to send their kids to places with good governance.

Hope this makes people more angry and this post gets some more visibility than sunset photos :D

I was wondering how many in this subreddit do compounds lifts.

From what I can tell, many folks here don’t really know how to train or manage nutrition

As per the photo they are not palm trees... they seem to be indigenous species with good canopy cover and shade.

What do you all think?
