In Hyderabad, the government is now buying treated wastewater from societies.

They’re using it for landscaping and construction purposes.

But can this water actually be used for that? Is it safe?

And if it is safe, can’t societies reuse this water themselves for things like cleaning and watering plants?

I’ve been looking at some ready to move in projects in Hyderabad.

Some of them have 25+ floors, but there are no refuge areas.

The new under construction homes have them, but not the completed ones.

Isn't this very risky? Or are there other fire safety measures in place Instead of refuge areas?

This is the B2 parking of my apartment in Bangalore.

After yesterday evening’s rain, a huge amount of water has entered the parking. It went up to a foot high.

Surprised that a single rainfall can lead to this much waterlogging.

If the level rises further, vehicles are definitely at risk.

In a situation like this, who is actually liable for the damage? Builder, association, or is it on the owners?

Basic welfare that the govt should provide… Indians are comfortable paying for it out of their own pocket rather than questioning the government.

We’re already taxed at 18%… now even taxed on the maintenance bill!

You take one visit to a foreign country and whole india feels like a scam.

And you don’t even have to go abroad. Even in parts of India with better overall development like Kerala, gated communities are not that popular.

For a simple reason that good roads, lighting, safety, parks… these are government responsibilities. Why should I pay out of my pocket?

People there stay united and question these things. But sadly in most parts of India, we don’t.

We're busy finding reasons to fight with each other

Also a lot of Indians are now treating their gated address as a status symbol!?

We are just dumb.
