Curious Case of Skywalk

The Curious Case of the Sky-walk of Kharghar - Why was it built !
Was it Need Base or Just someone's Vision ?

In my opinion it would have been a better idea to restrict its length as a pedestrian over-bridge required to cross the highway.

  The serpent eats away view and identity of Kharghar

The only thing that catches my attention in this photograph is the Winding Road on the Hill Top

Sooner...the highway will meet the service road
The shadow space below the sky-walk will invite informal vendors and hawkers

 Couple's Seat - Place for PDA

Our public spaces can never be complete without these.....

No doubt the city looks magnificent from the sky-walk;
But the sky-walk looks NOT SO MAGNIFICENT from the roadway or apartment windows

 Perhaps they should also start using the sky-walk!


Guess its signalling us to Stop for a while and Retrospect 


Waiting to see how the sky-walk gets used along the years and how it integrates with the upcoming Metro

  1. I agree with you about the skywalk. There wasnt a need to make such a magnificent blunder. They could have done it for some short distance instead of making what they did. May be you can add some more images from Bandra and other skywalks how it is used now. These skywalk is like eyesore on city`s urban image.
