The latest Vilasrao Deshmukh government has expressed their desire to turn "Aamchi Mumbai" into Shanghai or Hong Kong! Is this dream really feasible and practical? Some wise man had once said that unless you dream of the impossible, you can never achieve it. However, considering the practical barriers and obstructions towards achieving this ambitious dream, it seems like just another political gimmick to me.
How can the roadblocks such as population, illiteracy, traffic, corruption, and pollution (just to name a few) be undone in order to seek such a growth of the commercial capital of the country? These problems are well and truely existing and until the leaders of the nation find solutions to these issues, this dream seems to be way too far from reality because it is not just the tall buildings that define the city but also the infrastructure that enables the citizens to live their everyday lives. If you ask the "real Mumbaikar", he is least worried about this propoganda and continues to live his fast paced life in the city in an endeavor to catch the 7:04 AM fast local to Churchgate.
Salute to those who dare the impossible! Salute to Mumbaikars!!!

I strongly believe that we cannot think about population, poverty, illiteracy while making strides in other areas. Both are equally important and moving ahead in one area will definitely help us take care of these problems. e.g. a revamped infrastructure would help us fight pollution. Taller buildings mean more office space and more jobs that help poverty. More people earning a good living implies more charity work and that helps hunger and education. If you just concentrate on these basic issues, you will get frustrated and tend to lose focus.
Just my $0.02 of course.
