Daulat Baugh is breathing its last days

By -
I am kind of feeling sad that my building in which I have lived for last thirty years is breathing its last days. I came to this building when I was a teenager and I have some wonderful memories in this building.

It has always been one of the best building of this 36th road where people have lived like one big family.

As soon as we enter our building we have greenery behind the gate.

 The children are very helpful to the elders of the society and they show great respect
to everyone

For years I have watched Kunjbala aunty chitchat with her friends on Tankiee during evening hours.

 Children from all other buildings are welcomed to spend the evening hours playing in the building compound, some of them playing indoor games outdoors.

 We had some good memories but now its time for it to go

Yes, the building is in very bad shape and it is about to break apart.

renovating and re-painting will not help

It will be demolished soon to make way for a new building which will not allow drying out the clothes like this


Though I have my best times here, but every things comes to an end and I shall miss my home here, I keep thinking if I will grow to get attached to new one too.

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
