Beautification contract of the 40-acre garden scrapped after tardy work

A new tender has to be floated for the beautification work of the 40-acre garden adjoining the Powai lake. Nearly three years after the BMC took up the work, the Rs 40 crore project has been cancelled. Last year, when the standing committee members visited the Powai garden to inspect the progress in work, they were shocked to see huge stones strewn all around and the compound wall yet to be erected.

Eco-Friendly Ganesh idols

Every year, there is a rush to buy the "most beautiful Ganesh idols", that incidentally are made of Plaster of Paris. Therefore, these idols, when immersed (during the visarjan) do not decompose properly. Hence, the next day, there are many broken idols that get washed onto the shores of various beaches, lakes & ponds. Since I am part of The Children's Movement for Civic Awareness, that has been included in the  curriculum for the 8th Std., I urge you to bring home these Eco-Friendly Ganesh idols, which don't harm the environment, and look good too.Ganesh Chaturthi in 2009 is on Sunday, the 23rd of August.

‘the yellow chilli’ reviewed by deepakv

As soon as i got to work after a long lunch break at the Yellow Chilli, i just HAD to add the place to the burrp directory and review it - it was really that good! It is supposedly part of the Sanjeev Kapoor chain, so we thought we would sample it rather than another visit to mainland china on the lower floor.
