As a kid I always wanted to become an architect. And even now there is nothing I like more than observing the city's architecture..From the old British colonial buildings to the super modern skyscrapers that now dominate the skyline, I find all of them really interesting. It's also no surprise that one of my favourite show on T.V is Superstructures on NGC.

So in keeping with my love for architecture...I plan to post some buildings and structures that I think deserve an applause...be it for their innovative design or their mega scale.

Let me start with Mumbai city...One of the best structures comming up in this city has to be the Bandra-Worli sealink. Though nothing compared to other sea-bridges in the world, it is still the most advanced one in India.

It is also very important in terms of traffic management in Mumbai.At present, Mahim causeway is the only link connecting western suburbs to island city of Mumbai. The existing north south western corridor is highly congested and during the peak hours results in a bottleneck at Mahim Causeway.It is hoped that the construction of the project link will provide an additional fast moving outlet from the island city to the western suburbs & provide much needed relief to the congested Mahim Causeway.
