Without doubt this is one of the first and lasting urban cities that Sawai can be proud of even to this day. It is built on the grid system with wide boulevards, covered shopping areas and beautiful architecture.
Compare that to Gurgaon - a mass of ugly high rises, insufficient infrastructure and dubious workmanship. Last week I visited a friend in Gurgaon on the 16th floor of a fancy building. I have never once been there without banging and drilling going on almost constantly. She complains of occasional water shortages and some power cuts but they have huge back up generators which kick in at a sizeable price to all who live there. Another friend was saying his communal charges are larger than his own charges for his apartment. As she was sleeping last week a kitchen cabinet fell off the wall - just like that, it was not overloaded - it just fell smashing the granite kitchen top and damaging the floor. Thank god her children were tucked up in bed.
Where will Gurgaon be in 400 years ? Admired like the City of Victory and visited or a place to be avoided and crumbling ?
