Kolkata’s Apartments with Helipads to Change the Real Estate Scene

Kolkata's Apartments with Helipads

One real estate project provides a certain solace to the affluent who would like to avoid the chaotic roads and dangerous streets where political marches are known to turn violent. The V Service Residency would be located in New Town, Rajarhat in the city of Kolkata.

The intriguing feature of these homes is that they come with a helipad each, thus you could avoid the risk of encountering violence on the streets. It would also be great to welcome your well heeled guests if they fly from elsewhere. While helipads and using helicopters as a mode of transport by the affluent is not popular in India, such a move might encourage Indian rich to use helicopters.

The house would cost $800,000. These are serviced apartments and would have 32 floors. A flat like this in Delhi or Bombay would cost several million dollars.

Triceracopter, a tricerosaurus-cum-helicopter displayed for art lovers

Last time, we told you about a mechanoid cheetah from Andrew Chase, but that was not available for sale, so now we bring to you tricerosaurus which is made to look like a helicopter.

This is a prehistoric sculpture of the post-Vietnam political war era. It is said that this item gave the artist the inspiration to create Å”Triceracopter:Hope for the Obsolescense of War. Sculptured in clay over a Vietnam-era U.S. Army-spec OH-6 Cayuse helicopter, this triceracopter has been covered with fiberglass by renowned and controversial artist, Patricia Renick.
