Staying Connected

By -
Perhaps this could be our last Holi Festival celebrations at Daulat Baugh. That’s what each member of this building was hoping, that the re-development plan bite us as soon as some formalities are ironed out. We got together to celebrate the Holi festival in our building compound on 1st March 2010

Surprise!

We actually have lot to say to each other but we hardly ever meet except in society meetings where there are more squabbles than discussions. We wanted to meet more often. Now the members who are really compu-savvy are working people, who prefer to get the whiff of fresh air from the tiny window rather than come out and walk around the building snaking through too many parked cars and they expressed the desire to meet on desk-top instead and so started our conversation on Newsletter, an idea of staying in touch online since we hardly ever see each other in the building unless we ring the door bell

Which we never do…...

So here we are, hopefully to stay connected in our unofficial building Blog.

To start with, lets meet the members who celebrated Holi in the building compound.



All that one needed was just a jet of tangent water to wash off the colored mask of Holi madness

Clean and Green Society Gets Rebate on Property Tax.

During one of our meeting before redevelopment, there was talk of   rain water harvesting but I don’t think that there is any provision in our new building or is there? When our building was under construction, I had expressed the desire of installing solar panels on the terrace. Due to lack of space on the terrace, this idea was not received well. I wish we had found some space to install solar panels to cover at least the cost of society electricity bills. Our building is well lighted from all angles of our society, inside out, at the flower beds, at the pools, in the lobby and common areas, and it does look beautiful, it is a good feeling, but I am dreading the huge electricity bill that i will have to pay. Moreover, carrying out environment friendly  measures gets 10 percent discount on property tax. Today I receive a circular from BMC to segregate  dry and wet waste. This is a good idea and is accepted in all countries around the world. It is eco friendly move where a

Our Very Own Gym

The other day, I went down to the 1 st floor, which is actually a club floor. One door opens to Podium, another door opens to office and party room and another opens to Gym and swimming pool. I entered the door leading to Gym. A loud music was playing and one member was on the treadmill. He was quite engrossed in his music and exercise that he didn’t notice us. But I must say, it’s a beautiful room with state-of-art equipments. Although I have never done gymming in my life, this is first time that I wish I could. There is TV in one wall of the room, I am sure when the gyms becomes totally functional, this will be a good venue to meet the society members.   The floor is fully covered with rubber padding to prevent the beautiful marble beneath. (You never know, when those heavy weights fall and break the floor).. Every detail has been attended to.  The managements has really taken pains to get the best and I have seen them help lift those equipments and find tim

TV on Play Store at SS

In Satguru Shlok, you don’t need TV in every room, although nobody is stopping you if you like to. But the building is wholly wired internally so that ugly wires that you see them swinging from one building to another are not visible in our building, The wires come into building underground ,discreetly, and transports to every flat at certain points only. All the room  in each flat have such wires installed , but at one wall only. Your TV guy knows how to extract those wires into your room and get you TV connection. It is important to check where those points are, before you start to redesign the placement of your furniture and put fixtures on your wall. Hammering the wall with nails above these points can puncture the wires behind the wall. Some members did have problem when they didn’t plan or had overlooked these switches. They had to redo the wiring and shift their plug points to their desired position, but that is so cumbersome, plus of course extra expenses. I am not muc
