architectural eye-sores
Everyday as i drive on University Road a major shopping complex that for some reason has been painted red ! irritates my eyes.
What is with the architects in India that we are aping the Western style of construction in terms of aluminum-clad-glass window - sound-proofed buildings.
In a country like ours the cooling cost for such a building will be extremely high my guess is the cooling cost will be a large percentage of their annual maintenance budget .
Contrast this with some of the PWD guest-houses we have in small-towns or even near RSI-Pune they dont need air-conditioning even in summers the colors are soothing to look at , the building is alive with bird-nests in nooks .
Why can't the newly trained architects consider those things instead of just being commercial about this , a typical structure will just be a RCC frame which is then clad in aluminium and all openings covered with double-panel think glass sheets. The construction time is less so you can start selling the space but the running cost is high leave alone the fact that these are eye-sores.

President Obama and PM Manmohan Singh
what do they both have in common : both have let go of the reins , don't appear to be in the driving seat. are not Acting.
This is a dangerous situation for anyone in a leadership position you got to be decisive , ACT , Communicate action plans . Rally people around.
Sadly i think both continue to hold on to their jobs because there is no quality opposition.
