Industrialist Anand Mahindra took to Twitter on July 12 to express his hesitation about staying in a room suspended from a cliff.

“Ordinarily, I would have marvelled at this beautiful design but with the unpredictable fury & impact of the rains now being evident around the world, I’m not sure I’d sign up for a night in this space!” wrote Anand Mahindra while sharing a video on Twitter.

Since being shared a day ago, the tweet has accumulated over 6.1 lakh views and the numbers are still increasing. Many even shared their thoughts after watching the video.
Here’s what people have to say about the video:
“I will not either, given the way this structure looks. However, if proper construction code is followed, yes. Living in earthquake-prone area (lot more dangerous than rains), newly homes here can/have withstood earthquakes upto 6 on Richter scale, without any significant damage,” posted a Twitter user. Another added, “Yes sir it is stable due to fixing of bed following centre of gravity but stability remains unpredictable.The factors like body weight, no.of people, external pressure etc may jeopardise pleasure of stay.” “Well, if it’s anchored in igneous or Basalt bedrock and higher enough from any river bed, one may still think,” expressed a third. A fourth shared, “While it looks beautiful, it’s giving me anxiety looking at its location!” “Sir, I am more worried about the quality of wood and strength of glass,” wrote a fifth.
