Ghodbunder bypass, Metro work to take-off in 2016

The year 2016 seems to be good for Thane as the city is set for better infrastructure. It will get Ghodbunder bypass road and the work for Kasarvadavli-Wadala Metro is also likely to take-off.

Next year, Thanekars can be hopeful of less-clogged streets as the work on Ghodbunder bypass road, adjacent to Gaimukh to Balkum creek, is likely to begin. This 200-metre-long and 45-feet-wide road will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs313 crore. It will take care of the heavy vehicle traffic movement that comes from Ahmedabad highway.

“The proposal was approved by the MMRDA, but required an NOC from the defence ministry as the road is adjacent to Navy’s Akbar Camp,” said Thane MP Rajan Vichare.

Vichare met defence minister Manohar Parikkar and explained the situation. “I explained to him that we will make the road without disturbing the boundary wall of Akbar camp. Parikkar told us that he will give the requisite permission soon,” added Vichare. If this approval comes, it will improve the traffic situation on the stretch to a great extent.

In another development, work for Thane Metro from Kasarvadavli to Wadala is likely to start before the next budgetary session of the legislative assembly. “Earlier, there was a proposal to have an underground Metro. But consultants appointed to study the project suggested that this would push up the cost as well as time,” said MLA Pratap Sarnaik, adding, “So, it has been decided to go for an elevated Metro.”

Earlier, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had said the work on Thane Metro will start by December 2015. But this did not happen and as a mark of protest Sarnaik staged a hunger strike at the winter assembly session in Nagpur.
He demanded that Metro is the need of hour in Thane due to ever-increasing population. “The honorable chief minister promised that the work on Thane Metro will start before next assembly budget,” said Sarnaik.

Change the mood with soft furnishings

Soft furnishings infuse life into a home, imparting colour and texture to design.

With the basic structure of a home in place, the next step is to design the interiors. This includes furniture, as well as furnishings such as drapes, blinds, cushions and upholstery, carpets and rugs which give life to furniture and impart a definite character to different spaces. Here are some suggestions:

Curtains

Go for fine quality and durable drapes or blinds that can withstand constant washing. Use jacquard fabric for floral prints in a formation of swirly blooms. Linen fabric in cur Linen fabric in curtains gives a handmade look. With some speck detailing or decorative motif on fabric, it can give a homely and soothing feel in the bedroom.

Satin, sheer and organza fabrics add a luxurious feel to any room. Silk can be added in the form of an embellishment. These fabrics for curtains are recommended for living areas, dining or family room.

Voile is a lightweight woven fabric and can be used for rooms which need more fresh air and sunlight. Voile curtains are available in a variety of colours and prints. They give a delicate feel to the windows. Full-height curtains could also give an illusion of greater visual height.

Upholstery

Chenille offers a soft touch and is the perfect material for soft chair coverings, children's bedrooms or lounge areas. For heavy traffic zones, hardwearing fabrics or printed fabrics are in demand. Velvets can used for sofas and armchairs for a royal look and making the entire living-dining space grand. The richness of this fabric and colours will not fade soon and makes it easy to maintain.

Cushions and bedspreads

Cushions and coverings raise the level of comfort and add a decorative look to interior spaces. A personalised decor can be achieved by the use of various shapes, sizes and colours of cushions. Cotton, linen and handloom products are best for bedrooms as they add to the warmth and luxury. Raw silk and polyster can make for bright and lavish cushions in the formal areas. Putting in throws and cushions with such rich fabrics makes the couch look expensive and glamorous.

Carpets and rugs

Persian carpets showcase the art of carpet weaving and are among the best hand-woven carpets. Contemporary design rugs with bold geometric patterns or floral designs can be placed in children's rooms. Carpets can balance colours beautifully. The bright tones of walls can be softened by subtle carpet patterns. On the contrary, a neutral decor scheme can be balanced by a charcoal-rust combination of floor soft furnishings.

Colours

The range goes from hot orange, red, yellow, amber and pink tones to serene hues of the cool blue ocean. Some of the most popular colours are teals, limes, pastels and vivacious pinks. Nectarine has a warm coral touch, and in combination with poppy reds and lemon zest colours, can make for a very inviting space. Emerald is recommended for kitchen furnishings. African violet or Monaco blue can give the master bedroom an exotic and lavish appeal.
