After years the marvelous engineering piece called Bandra Worli sea-link is a reality in India. It was inaugurated by Mrs Sonia Gandhi on 30th June 2009
We have a curse that all major projects get delayed badly; this project is no exception. But we are equally to blame for NOT celebrating the success though delayed. None of the scientific / engineering community would communicate the excitement of such a project to the people at large.
We had a similar show five years back in Bangalore. The KR Puram bridge is a marvelous piece of engineering; no one ever sang a glory for the project. Today it is not even painted (white washed even) or lit!
I do hope we Indians learn to celebrate (just not movies and cricket) but great pieces of engineering too
