Many thanks.Leo Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00325785953464914250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19296516.post-79896578113288996832008-04-11T18:50:00.000+05:302008-04-11T18:50:00.000+05:30Anon - I've readjusted the scale to 0.

On first glance I thought that our demand is ~ 5 times the supply but then I looked at the scale and you have truncated it below 2000MW which gives it unnecessary shock value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19296516.post-8282997202186787882008-04-07T16:35:00.000+05:302008-04-07T16:35:00.000+05:30Avid - Thanks for the comment and your kind words. Earth Hour wasn't taken up by anyone in Mumbai like batti bandh was, except for the cursory mention in the newspapers. There are enough institutions with clout, etc. but there doesn't seem to be any will from the leaders that be to implement any plan. Mumbai is indeed getting uglier by the day, but its economy and its people seem to be thrusting ahead!Bombay Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17813763491251675343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19296516.post-92187920200150353642008-04-03T07:57:00.000+05:302008-04-03T07:57:00.000+05:30Did you or anybody you know participated in Earth Hour? I am curious about the level of care/apathy among the people in general. Your blog on the BWSL was excellent. The same thoughts about urban planning foresight and vested interests keep hovering on my mind. I wonder if there is anybody/institution with enough financial clout and civic sense to envision a better Mumbai. The rate at which flyovers have been built combined with the mania to own cars (without the necessary traffic sense)has just made Mumbai more congested and should I say uglier.avidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05287280462993151219noreply@blogger.com
