Mr. Ashish Lal met with Mr. Rameez, Contractor, at his posh office in Gurgaon. Mr. Lal owned one of the country's most successful construction companies, building some of the most iconic house complexes in and around the National Capital Region. Mr. Rameez Contractor was a celebrity architect whose work was sought after by many construction companies across the country. He was also a Padma awardee. Mr. Lal was a Krishna devotee known for making contributions to various organizations associated with the Hindu god. He was also known to be a sports enthusiast. Mr. Lal: I have always been your fan Mr. Contractor. You have designed most of my buildings in the last twenty years, which my customers have appreciated. For this Bell Vue project, I am proposing a different approach, though. This one would have a theme of sports. The design must vibrate with youthfulness and vigor. Needless to add, we shall have all sporting facilities within the premises. Mr. Contractor was a man of few words, and Mr. Lal often found it hard to understand his thoughts. He was not sure if Mr. Contractor was enthused by his approach. He fervently expected he was; otherwise, his dream may not see fruition. He had deep faith in Mr. Contractor's abilities. "What do you say, Rameez?" "I see the point of your idea, Ashish," Rameez said. "You have been a champion athlete during your youth and want to contribute to sports development in India. You have sponsored many sporting vents. I know where this comes from, Ashish, and your efforts are certainly laudable." Rameez continued. "But..." Rameez paused for a moment and looked at Ashish to check his reaction. Like himself, Ashish was known to be a headstrong person who typically did his bidding. Theirs had been a professional partnership built over decades, gradually changing to friendship. Mr. Ashish was relaxed and was looking back quizzically at Mr. Contractor." "Yes, But what? You know, I get anxious when you say "But" and hang on to it." Contractor: We must start with basic human needs. Sports are not a fundamental need. We shall come to that after fulfilling the more critical needs. "The fundamental needs are physiological. Our apartment complex must provide for these needs. For example, people have to eat to survive. We must have facilities where they can find groceries and vegetables, meaning there has to be a market complex. At a place as big as this, we need at least five such market complexes. We must ensure that people get good sleep. The residential apartments must be away from the roads and other areas of disturbance, including the market complexes. These are some of the considerations to be kept in mind. Mr. Contractor continued after a small break. eve! includes The second level includes security needs. This is a sitter. We have to have CCTV cameras all over the place. The roads should be suitably wide for the comfortable passage of cars. The pavements shall be well-lit and big enough for public usage. The potholes must be covered at all times. There is nothing sadder than seeing a young life destroyed in unmanned potholes. Such news comes in the papers, and I am amazed that the problem keeps recurring. All electrical fittings must be periodically checked, as would all elevators. And before I forget, we should have a small dispensary to provide emergency medical service. What would you do if an older man gets a heart attack in the middle of the night? The dispensary must be equipped with an ambulance. We need at least 20 people to keep the premises clean. Before I forget, we would also need space for an estate office to look after this vast network of services. "Now, you understand how things would shape up? We have not yet come to sports. It is still quite a distance away in a normal person's mind." Mr. Contractor said as he paused for breath. Mr. Lal continued to look at him in admiration. A.
