Antilla - Most insensitive house ever built

[Zarvan]

What's the most loveable city in India?

And where do you live ?

Pune has very good reputation also Surat of India and I think one other city.

This sentence perfectly explains the so called economic might of India and the way indians compare India with super powers and developed countries.
India is just another poor third world developing country struggling with injustice and inequality of wealth.

Mumbai has always had a slums issue since the british raj, but then nearly all slums have dish antennas and TVs inside, huge number also have ACs. Its more like the ultra-expensive real estate prices in Mumbai that are responsible for this mess since its an island that can't be expanded.

Other than that slums are being cleared and rehabilitation of the dwellers is being done.

There is a charm to it, even if you're not a bollywood freak uber fan.. ki aapki building me rehte hain these famous people.. not into it, but I get it.

Dharavi interiors ka chakkar lagao kisi din.. China demolished their Kowloon walled city, after that, the Dharavi skums is where you'll get to see a whole different level of insanity, Brazilian favellas also (Rio)

mast scene, bro.. just be smart, and nobody will dare being a cvnt.. I've stared down local "bhais" on the very rare occasion when trouble came looking for me, got it sorted.

No. You cannot tempt me to live in Bombay.

Nicely explained.

India, the "5th largest economy in the world", couldn't deliver 20 rupees freely into the hands of the urban daily wage worker Arveena Khatoon in the Lockdown of 2020 that she couldn't buy a plate of idli-vada at the railway station and she died of hunger and thirst on the train she was forced into by the government. What was the use of India being "5th largest economy in the world" ?

Use your room temperature IQ a bit more to get what I said.

Using my room temperature IQ now. Still didn't get your point.

Garbage. I want it like this :

Pune has very good reputation also Surat of India and I think one other city.

Surat ? That "rich" diamond-center city was so dirty in the 1990s that it had a big outbreak of plague. So just like "rich" Bombay, money doesn't bring gentleness, cleanliness, aesthetics and harmony.

No. You cannot tempt me to live in Bombay.

Why would I "tempt" anyone into doing so, I don't want to live there either lol

Just pointing out that there's good and bad to literally everything out there, a lot of it is subjective, spl when it comes to politics etc.. which is why you need to see things from other peoples' POVs too

and not with disgust, disdain, or scorn.

but in a real empathetic way about what might be compelling them to feel whatever way they do.

A lot of what you propose doesn't just mirror, but goes much beyond the insanity of the "Hindu Rashtra" some far righters keep hasta-maithuning to. lol

end of the day, only thing you can truly keep under control is your own mind.. Sid Gautam had it right all along, eh ?

Who taught him to be that way but..

sage and teacher of meditation identified by the Buddhist tradition as one of the teachers of Gautama Buddha.[1] 'Rāmaputta' means 'son of Rāma', who may have been his father or spiritual teacher.[2] Uddaka Rāmaputta taught refined states of meditation known as the dhyanic formless attainments

gotta respect this shiz, man.. even Abrahamic ones.

1. Will reply to your earlier part tomorrow but the Udakka fellow seems to be just like the fabrications in Islam called Hadiths.

2. Muslim philosophers just two hundred years after the formation of Islam included Buddha as one of the 124,000 prophets believed to be in Islam.

For you actually because your two lines contradict each other. You are confused hugely.

 

[StraightEdge]

I don't care if people think it's insensitive. Everyone has their views, Ambanis have money and they did nothing wrong if they build anything with their own money.

However, I think this is one of the most retarded building designs I ever saw. Spent 2billion for a POS garbage like this. Buildings costing 1/100th of that looks much better. Whoever made that design should be thrown to crocodiles. Absolutely zero artistic or visual appeal.

PS., the new parliament building also looks total garbage. Even some African countries may have some better looking building design.

Garbage. I want it like this :

Population density won't allow stupid commie

Stupid commie says : "Build townships around Bombay with urban farms and other work places and transfer populations from Bombay to those townships. Isn't Modi jee's 100 Smart Cities program pending ?".

Why not?

 

[villageidiot]

agree

I'm also of a similar bent, mostly hate city life and crowded metro areas, and not just here in dirty ol India. I don't like that kinda scene anywhere. Horns buzzing, the smell of benzene in the air, too many people and too less trees/too much stress.

Same. As a kid, I wanted to grow up and go live in those small sleepy towns in Los Santos countryside in GTA San Andreas.

Antilla - Most insensitive house ever built.​

August 17, 2018 admin 0 Comments

This 27-story apartment tower is one of the tallest in Mumbai, and it belongs to just one person: Mukesh Ambani, the 5th richest man in the world. This 400,000 square-foot family home contains a six-story garage, nine lifts and is situated right next to Golibar slum in central Mumbai. Currently holding the title of ‘world’s most expensive home’ at $2 billion, it perhaps could also win the record for most insensitive house ever built.

Site??????​

Antilia, the home of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, stands on land that belonged to an orphanage which was illegally sold.

The 4532sqm plot of land had been previously owned by the Khoja Yateemkhana (an orphanage). This charitable institution had sold the land allocated for the purpose of education of underprivileged Khoja children to Antilia Commercial Private Limited in July 2002

The Waqf minister Nawab Malik opposed this land sale, as did the revenue department of the Government of Maharashtra. Thus a stay order was issued on the sale of the land. The Waqf board also initially opposed the deal and filed a PIL in the Supreme Court challenging the decision of the trust. The Supreme Court, while dismissing the petition, asked the Waqf board to approach the Bombay High Court. However, the stay on the deal was subsequently vacated after the Waqf board withdrew its objection on receiving an amount of ₹1.6 million (US$23,000) from Antilia Commercial Pvt Ltd, and it issued a No Objection Certificate.

Structure???????​

The mansion has
27 floors with extra-high ceilings. Other buildings of equivalent height may have as many as 60 floors.
3 helipads on the roof. Not one, not two. But three-the Indian Navy opposed the construction of helipads on Mumbai buildings, while the Environment Ministry, following a representation from Awaaz Foundation said the helipads violate local noise laws.
9 super fast elevators which are divided amongst visitors, family members.
A snow room where the walls spit out man-made snowflakes.
Six storey high car parking and a car service station on 7th floor.

Energy Efficient Building?????​

Ambani’s and The Architect claims that they have constructed a energy efficient house and yet the house generated Mumbai’s highest residential electricity bill of Rs 70,69,488, in the first Month.

Antilla consumed 6,37,240 units of power. To put it in perspective, an average household equipped with all electronic amenities consumes 300 units per month. Ambani was, in fact, given a discount of Rs 48,354 for prompt payment, so the Rs 70 lakh quoted earlier is minus this amount. Experts say it’s is roughly equivalent to the monthly power bill of 7,000 homes!

Antilla -“a home” OR “Just an iconic Building”???????​

After spending billions of money , the house lies abandoned …Because the billionaire owners believe it would be bad luck to move in..according to them the building fails to conform with the ancient Indian architectural principles of “vastu shastra”

The building once dubbed the world’s most expensive home has basically become “the world’s most expensive house in which to serve canaps to guests.” It just stays lit up all night, as if the Ambanis were all hanging out at home, watching movies, eating ice creams .But they are really all tucked into bed at their old place.

Grapes are sour!
Remember, no one build house to make other not to feel bad but as per their taste and capacity. It's universal truth be it poor or rich.

Socialism is/ may be good.
You know biggest issue in India and lazy *** socialist is, "why is my neighbor is working so hard and doing better than me! We must Burn them down"


For a change let's stop whining and focus on issues country has and need immediate attention.

 

[jamahir]

I don't know any details but what makes you think its a 'show off' charity ? There's probably multiple 10s of millions of $ going into those, and helping people put the young ones to school/education and others to get trained in whatever skill they can be so they can better their lives.

How many of those underprivileged women became as rich as Nita ?

You also mentioned you sometimes give 1 - 200 rupees to beggars etc and were quite proud of it. Think your 100 odd rupallis made a difference ?

20 to 50 rupees not-so-irregularly and to poor people of all strata. It does make a difference for them that day or that two or three days, not by my own contributions but in collection with other contributors.

otherwise theek hai, 6 stories whatever just for the fanciest cars in the world... that shit's sweet.

Your grapes not sour, yes ? So you have obviously "worked so hard" and so has Mukesh Ambani so why does he have 168 luxury cars but you have to live a middle-class wage-slave life to just survive the month ?

For a change let's stop whining and focus on issues country has and need immediate attention.

What are those issues ?
