Dear ABS,You have not got the basics right(s).You and I ,"common man",shouting at the top of our voices,will not be heard by the powers be,as they do not get anything by listening to us.Make hay while the sun shines is their motto.The politicians have given the builders a free hand to do what they wish.A 1000 sq ft built up flat is actially 550 sq ft carpet area.The commercial establishments are even worse.The"loading" as they call it is even heavier.The Mumbai's real estate scene has been taken over by scoundrels,scum,goons and politicians of all colours from all parties.God save the common man.
