944mm 26/27 July : Welcome to Kurla Valley
The newest vacation destination to be promoted by the Maharashtra Govt.
If youve been to Kurla in drier times, you would have observed that the place is full of filth and crowded as hell. Not to get alarmed. The suburb houses one of the biggest scrap markets in the world. The guys there deal with everything under the car (not sun) - tyres, oil, kerosene, engines, etc. - not to say drugs and other similar things. Now most (if not all) of these "businessmen" here have chosen this place by choice, not by fate. Its convenient by all respects - a nice gutter like river ("The Mithi Rivier") flows through it where they can dump everything at will, - lax administrtion which will look the other side for a few notes (our Mumbai Police is real cheap, you should realise). So, in other words they thrive here.
Now suddenly the world has realised that its flooded and dirty there. Anyway with this kind of surroundings, what else did people expect there to happen ?
What will happen now is that the old boy will now get a scrubbing. Legend goes that the BMC first found out where Kurla was, before they reached there. They had never known the place existed.
And once its cleaned of the dirt .. the MBA's will swoop down. ... and then ... welcome to "Kurla Valley". Maybe Tendulkar and Jhony Joseph will book bungalows at this dream resort destination. You see, the common folks lose out here too.
