On a shared turf
The Hindu
Can cricket-runs, kicked-goals, hoop-points and spike-points be scored in just one stroke? Read on to find out how a gated community in Raja Annamalaipuram achieved this feat. Residents however have to wait for the pandemic to come under control before they can enjoy the fruits of this exercise
Past a population threshold, a gated community has at the least, one teenager fancying themselves as the next Ravichandran Ashwin. The next Mithali Raj. The next PV Sindhu. The next Ajith Lal. The next Geethu Jose. And there is the masters’ circuit to boot — the hyperlocal Bhutias and Tendulkars spoiling for a go at a sport they once adorned. So, multifarious sporting aspirations stamped with the same address is usually a fact of big-community living. A residents’ welfare association has its work cut out when these aspirations have to be accommodated in a measly 2000 sq.ft or thereabouts. The pitch is further queered when the development of this space is contingent upon meeting stipulations from the local civic body. Wedged into a similar situation, the Rani Meyyammai Towers at MRC Nagar in Raja Annamalaipuram, with its 300-plus units, found its answer in a synthetic-multi-purpose turf.More Related News
