And most of them are being broken down, and multi-storeyed buildings are coming up in their place. Because maintaining such big houses is difficult, it's just easier to sell it to a promoter, right?<br />It's sad. I hope this never ever happens to my house. I'll try to make sure it won't.Magically Boredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689084060646607534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702927434455018993.post-79615865737237424352010-07-09T00:09:29.189+05:302010-07-09T00:09:29.189+05:30"I'm in a flat that won't be broken d..."I'm in a flat that won't be broken down."

I have this nightmare...coming back home one day to find strangers dwelling in it... the dining room has changed...slowly and steadily it's being broken down.<br />It's sad to see that how people with no civic and artistic sense are destroying a city in the name of developing!<br />That said...yours is a very touching piece.
