Taj Mahal & a Slum of Howrah

What is common between Taj Mahal & a dingy tenement in Howrah slum near Kolkata in West Bengal state of India?

Taj Mahal has been named one of the "New Wonders of the World" & here is "Sultana Begum", the 54-year-old great granddaughter-in-law of the last Mughal Emperor "Bahadur Shah Zafar", who was a direct descendent of Shah Jahan who built the Taj Mahal. Sultana's husband, late Mirza Mohd Bedar Bukht, was the direct descendant of Bahadur Shah Zafar and crown queen Zeenat Mehal.

"Sultana Begum" lives in her home in a West Bengal slum at Howrah. She lives in a 66 sq ft dingy room at Foreshore Road in Howrah district & is getting Indian Rs.400 ( US$ 10 ) as monthly pension from the Indian government.

Nevertheless, she was full of joy & happiness when marble mausoleum in Agra was named one of the "New Wonders of the World" in Lisbon.

'It was one of the happiest moments of my life. I stayed up till late in the night to watch the telecast of the results from Lisbon,' an ecstatic Sultana Begum said.

600 People to Serve 6 of Family

Dharavi is a slum in Mumbai which houses a million people & is called the Asia's largest slum. Here you can find ramshackle corrugated tin structures, houses made of sheets of asbestos where these million people live in inhuman conditions. In the same city there are many other slums where many more millions live in inhuman conditions. Over here only, the country’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is building a new home in the financial Capital of India - Mumbai (Bombay): a 27-storey skyscraper mansion in the heart of the city.

Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries is the wealthiest Indian and the world’s 14th richest man with a net worth of US$20.1 billion. He is making this glass mansion on Altamound Road called “Antilla.” The name is derived from a phantom island in the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Spain.

Mansion shall have everything from a swimming pool to a personal car-servicing center for the Ambani family’s 168 imported cars. It shall have a staff of 600 employees who shall be at the service of 6 Family members consisting of Mukesh Ambani , his wife Nita Ambani , their 3 children & Mukesh's mother Kokilaben Ambani. It shall be built on 4,532-square-metre plot.

Ambani’s architect has said the first six floors of the skyscraper mansion will be reserved for parking. Immediately above will be lodgings for 600 servants and their families. Eight floors have been reserved for “entertainment,” including a mini-theatre and a number of swimming pools, and several more floors will house a health club and rooms for guests.

In actuality, it is about 60 floors, but it has been reduced to 27 stories to make the ceilings a bit higher. A helipad or an air space floor is planned on the uppermost area, functioning as a control room for landing choppers. The eighth floor will have a mini theatre, which can seat 50, and will be used for recreational activities. A two-storied glass-front apartment will serve as guest rooms. Three floors will serve as terrace gardens with balconies. And the facility will be staffed, around the clock, with 600 employees.

Mukesh Ambani, his wife, three children, and mother will occupy the top four, non-service floors, giving them a panoramic view of both Mumbai’s Arabian Sea coastline and the city’s skyline as well as easy access to three helipads on the skyscraper’s roof.

The design also calls for a refuge center in case of emergencies and of course a health center, including a health spa and gym. Other additions to the family home of 27 stories will include six floors for parking - exclusively for the family’s automobiles.

Draped in hanging gardens the ceilings are three times as high as a normal building’s, the 173m tower will only have 27 floors.

With property prices rocketing, the building is already worth more than US$ 1.2 Billion ( roughly the average annual income of 1.5 million Indians). It is expected to be ready for the Ambanis to move in next year. The family currently live in a 14-storey building, Sea Wind.

Their new home will be “comparable to those owned by friends such as Lakshmi Mittal”. The UK-based steel tycoon bought the most expensive house in London last year, paying £60mn for a place in Kensington Palace Gardens.
