I'm talking about colloquial usage, not the dictionary definition, naturally.

Vast parts of the city consist of high-rise buildings & still the government has to keep increasing the FSI every now & then to accommodate everyone. No place to walk on the ground so government is building skywalks. A sealink opened yesterday to connect 2 areas cause it takes an hour to travel to the place by road. Prices of buying a house are enormous-so the government constructs houses & sells them cheaply by a lottery system cause so many people apply. And here's a pic of the local Mumbai train I travel in daily.

(it's a real pic & I swear to you I have seen worst).
That sucks

Didn't Poona just host Commonwealth Games? How does that work?

Poona is the old name. It is renamed Pune now. And it hosted the Youth Commonwealth Games, not the Commonwealth Games. Melbourne hosted it in 2006 & New Delhi is hosting it in 2010. I think UK is hosting it next.
I really enjoy the local train rides. It's crowded like anything during the peak hours, but otherwise it's wonderful to stand near the door & feel the heavenly breeze. I would travel in a highly crowded train than an air conditioned car any day. There is something exhilarating about it. I could write a book on all my experiences in the train. It would make an interesting read.

Yes, they live very close by. And I know many live in the US, but where exactly? (Datsyuk lives in Las Vegas, that's all I know).
The Delhi High Court decriminalized homosexuality today. Glad!!! It was stupid to follow the draconian, archaic made 150 years ago. And national surveys found only 33% of the people were uncomfortable with it-the rest had no problem. Guess all those gay parades helped. But the Catholic Church is deciding to file a petition against the judgment, let's see....

All the religious boards peeve me. They ought to change with time. Seriously, they can't expect us to follow stuffs people followed centuries millennias ago.

Edit-Wow, that's nice(replying to Nero). Childhood friends or something?

You'll have to ask Sent. But I believe he and Nat went to the same school.

Gladstone, Nathaniel & Sentynel together? But does that mean Nat & Sent know Gladstone personally too?

Gladstone started it alone, I think, Nat and Sent joined later.

Yes, gladstone takes all the blame for starting the forum. Nat and I were early arrivals, and subsequently helped tidy the place up, debug gladstone's code, fix his spelling and grammar, etc.
This is, naturally, a wholly unbiased recollection of events.

And yes, Nat and I went to the same school.

I believe that's wandering out of 'innuendo' and straight into 'obvious.' Innuendo is much more fun.
