Ever thought of flying over traffic jams in a helicopter? Well, while that is still not easily possible for us common people of Mumbai, the skywalks coming up – give some hope. Imagine coolly swishing over honking horns, rain logged roads, troubled pedestrians, violence prone dogs and frustrated brows! It will not only make a healthier populace but a less frustrated one. Like the evergreen character in Star Wars we can become Skywalkers - Mumbai Skywalkers ( remember Luke Skywalker?)
Us skywalkers will be happy, assuming of course that:
- There are more places to get on and get off these skywalks. I was unable to spot any staircases
- No hawkers are allowed on these skywalks – otherwise it would be like walking through a crowded market place outside any railway station
- No beggars, advertisers, thieves, marathon runners, policemen and pavement dwellers are allowed to get on it.
Sigh…what a beautiful dream it was, before I thought of all this.
