To know the candidates ( for those who live in ward 214 (Napean Sea Rd) we organized a get together in the garden (compound) where I live in Mumbai at 10.30 am on Sunday 12th of Feb. Candidates who attended were Sushieben Shah, Gita Bhatia, Kanak Gandhi, Usha Kiran representative, Sheetal Shirke...See the photographs

OK, so you are voting on the 16th of February! But who to vote for?
However vote we must!
Why MUST we vote? Because politicians only cater (However little) to those who vote. Now since we South Bombay people dont vote, you will see broken pavements, water supply complaints, water logging during monsoon for as long as you do not become pro-active and vote!

But you still do not know who to vote for, then my advice is vote for independants and women...Why independants? Why women? Because even though they may not win the election, they will stay in the race...and maybe bring a change for our children...

Now interesting political gyaan: Santosh Awatramani Meera Sanyal and Mona Patel (See them in a photograph with me) have floated a platform that invites independents called Mumbai 227 (227 wards in Mumbai). Gita Bhatia is a qualified candidate of Mumbai 227.

What did the rest of the candidates speak about and promise? The usual!

The above wonderful initiative was the brain child of Mr Narayan Varma (Chairman of our building society)He was assisted by the committee members of which I am a part of. Most importantly, the above was the first activity that the youth of our building, Bimal Kothari and Dhanraj Sheth helped with greatly. We do hope that other youngsters of other buildings in our area are inspired! After all the future belongs to them!
