Total population of Mumbai = 1,70,00,000crores (Kindly correct)
Mumbaikars live in slums   =  41.9%
Households without roof     =15.274
Population live in slums      =9 out of 24 wards, 50%
Live in one room tenements =57%
Mhada and SRA completed  =2 lakh units (bet. 1995 and 2014)
Under construction by above=1 lakh
Considering that the accepted norms while financing homes is up to four times their annual income, this is nearly 12 times that, thus making even this basic house way out of reach for most. "Affordable housing is one of the most important issues for Mumbai and its residents," said Nitai Mehta, managing trustee of Praja Foundation.

The OECD, a club of rich countries, has done well to unveil a single global standard for automatic exchange of financial account information to combat money-laundering and tax evasion. It mandates banks, brokers, and fund houses to collect information from their clients and pass it on to their respective regulators. It is a matter of time with the G20 already turning heat on Switzerland and other tax havens.
OECD`s initiative will end the practice of MNC`s shifting profits to tax havens and avoiding payment of taxes in their homelands.As information exchange becomes automatic, companies will find it harder to inflict "base erosion and profit shifting" on their host nations. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Everyday, instead of growing spiritually, we are wrapped in the drama of these negative traits. Our true wealth is our soul and our connection to God within. We cannot partake of that wealth because our attention is on the riotous activities of these thieves. we want to meditate, but these thieves drag us into their never ending play of insanity. We want to be selfless, but they keep us occupied in thinking or our own needs and wants. They are ruining our peace of mind. We want tb eb calm, but they cause us to be in a state of turmoil. How can we rid of thieves? (as said Sant Rajinder Singh in  the speaking tree. Kind Regards. Sunder T

"For every hour you remain angry you give up 60 minutes of joy. Ask yourself: Why do we lose our joy for petty things? Unimportant things have become more important. Joy is the most important energy but we lose it for a viewpoint that seems more imprtant than joy. Has something gone wrong inn the way we look at life? We give up our life for winning our point of view, or getting a status in life or money or position. One has to learn to drop this foolishness. Anger is an expression of foolishness" - Discourse:Swami Sukhabodhananda.

The UN expects 37% of urban population growth to come from three countries- by 2050,
India is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers, China 292 million and Nigeria 212 million.
A McKinsey study projects, that, by 2030, Indian cities will generate around 70% of its GDP.

Mumbai4u: Subject: Local train fare vs Tokyo, New York, and London
The commute by a suburban train seems to be cheaper than other modes of transport in Mumbai, and is also cheaper compared to train tickets in cities across the world.
WR general manager Hemant Kumar said, "Travelling by a local train could be as cheap as 11 paise per km and for the first class travel, 37 paise. For BEST buses, it comes to 82 paise per km and for AC BEST buses it comes to Rs.2.65 per km. Globally too, fares are higher in New York, train travel cost Rs. 11.80  per km, while it is Rs.18.90 in Tokyo and Rs.29.20 in London." TNN
For your information, Mumbai is going to be the 4th largest city in the world by 2030, next to only Tokyo, New York, and London. Today Mumbai is putting 40% of India`s taxes amount in the kitty. Kindly correct me and oblige. Thanks.

India as a nation is 67 years old, having gained independence from colonial rule, but in some ways we still behave like spoilt children who have yet to learn to accept the self-responsibility which is an essential qualification for being a full-fledged adult. If anyone dares to point out the errors in any of our ways, we bristle with defensive indignation, protective of our persistent immaturity, or refusal to grow up and accept ourselves for what we are, haloes, warts and all, the good and the admirable- and there are many admirable things about us, about what India has made  of itself- as well as the bad and the deplorable. Jag Suraiya says in his editorial column on July 16, 2014, in TOI -page16, col. 1&2, that the response  to his column could provide a gauge for our (India) maturity meter. Are we (Indians) finally growing up or we still growing down? The choice is ours. Kind Regards. Sunder T

Subject:  New Prime Minister of India from 2014 onwards
India needs its next prime minster to have big ideas and push them through.
The new prime minister could reduce reservation in education and jobs by
1-2 % every year, which will help banish casteism from our society by 2030.
It is time for India to have such a transformational prime minister –one who
will modernize India`s cities, solve agriculture and water woes, break the
shackles of casteism, bring about manufacturing revolution and improve
government efficiency. Such an agenda can decisively alter economic
fortunes of millions while simultaneously revamping the social fabric of
our country. This is what said N.V Krishnakumar in TOI on Jan.08, 2014.

The human soul is not a just a passive spectator. It participates in our daily life by putting in a word in its shy and non-assertive way, but in a crystal-clear voice. The dynamic aspect of the soul is the psychic being.
Soul is like the president of India. The president is at the highest level, but for the sake of dignity of office keeping a distance from routine affairs. For dealing with routine affairs, he appoints a prime minister. The `Prime Minister` that the Soul appoints is the `Ego1. The ego has three `ministers`- the Body, Emotions and Intellect- to take care of different portfolios. But, like the president, sometimes the Soul also feels like putting in a word. The president has a secretariat to take care of that. The secretariat of the soul is the Psychic Being. Follow Ramesh Bijlani at Speaking- tree.in

Lokpal bill has kindled hopes of curbing graft, but more needs to be done to banish the menace of Corruption.  Nothing emboldens the corrupt more than the belief that there will be negligible or no consequences for their corrupt behavior. The Lokpal will, hopefully, contribute in some measures to create the nexus between crime and punishment.
The following steps are necessary.
(1)  Reform of funding and financial accountability of political parties.
(2) A systematic increase in the neutral intervention of technology into as many as possible where
      the common man has to deal with government.
(3) Finalization of model legal framework ensuring transparency and fair play in all transactions relating
      to the disposal and acquisition of national resources and government procurement processes.
(4) Instituting deterrent action in a time bound and exemplary manner for all acts of corruption, which
      in turn, presupposes substantive judicial reforms.
The seed of corruption is the link between Politian’s and political parties and unaccounted money.
Anna Hazare has taught us that public pressure is a potent weapon in compelling reform. The onus to put that pressure lies on the people of India.

India is becoming a political circus where our leaders [Netas] beat our abhinetas anytime, their posturing making 70 mm look small! For example the Lokpal Bill- 46 years after a nation awoke to its destiny, as Jawaharlal Nehru put it, and smelt the coffee-tops any filmi plot.

We as human beings have power - not just to cause harm and

create terror but to help ourselves of this seemingly hopeless

scenario of doom and gloom. It might seem contradictory that

people are empowered and empower others, merely by being

kind and compassionate and not because they are overbearing,

manipulative and unkind and force their view on others. A kind

word, a good deed, a cring gesture, a warm simile, all these

are like power kegs. Kindness and compassion spring from

inner security whereas aggression and hatred come from

inner insecurity. When our backs are up against the wall,

positive inner resources come to the rescue. Sometimes they

are invisible but in times of distress, they give us strength

and help us emerge as powerful game changers.

India is a funny place for business. Nitin Gadkari has proved it.
Which other country can claim such a distinction, which showcases
Not only multitasking abilities, but also socio-economic equality? Can
Barack Obama`s chauffeur take on the job of a company director even
while continuing to drive the US president around? Can Mitt Romney`s
driver do both such jobs at the same time? Nope, It`s only in India
where such inspiring success stories are possible
Drivers, peons, munims(Accountants),  astrologers, who are part of the Gadkari
network of companies have all shown a commendable flair for
business affairs and have been suitably rewarded with high corporate
office. Moreover, the BJP leader is not the only one under whose
benevolent disposition such enterprise has been encouraged to thrive.
Similar success stories abound right across India`s political spectrum.
The reason for his is simple. Unlike elsewhere, in India the danda (stick)
of the law is accommodative of `h`s, as in `hera-pheri`(cheating).  This small
inclusion changes the danda (stick) of the law into the business of dhandha
(business) as usual

Anger is a sign of mental weakness, and ends in repentance or remorse. If you can control anger, you will have limitless energy in your reserve. How to control anger? Be alert. Pray. Do more jape, chant. Keep watch over your mind. Observe silence daily for an hour. Forget and forgive. Bear insult and injury. This is what Swami Sivananda said. You will find more useful reading in www.speakingtree.in- Kind Regards! Sunder T.

Life is all about connections. Our mental, emotional, physical and psychic selves only establish connections, be it with nature, people of things. We don`t know how to relate to them. We do not build relationships. When we connect with consciousness and awareness with what is around us, only then do we actually relate to them. Bu we do relate to something and that is our selfish nature. Any action based on the selfish motive will not endure long.

When the vision of oneness, a higher vision, is absent it creates divisions in the family, company, community, nation and the world. Self-importance is the cause for divisions at any level. In a family there are conflicts, in a company there is manipulation, in a community there is fanaticism, in a country each state wants its own independence and internationally there are wars. This is all because of the absence of vision of oneness- one harmonious family, one strong nation, and one peaceful global family.
