One more meeting in June 2013

By -
Last sunday, had a general body meeting. everybody in the building is eager for redevelopment but there is always one point which lags and delays the project Most of the meeting was spend discussing the parking space for the present members. Flat owners who have more that 764 sq mt are entitled for 2 parking spaces, but the builder has agreed only for those over 900sq mts, that leaves 5 more flats which needs to be negotiated. Every paper takes 2-3 months to pass and every argument takes 2-3 months to dissolve..well two years have passed by with no results so far. There is also discussion on having a glass building which some members feel it looks too gross and commercial. Well, that will be discussed on another day, when? still waiting......

I Am Back Home From Daulat Baugh To Satguru Shlok

I am back again after four years of silence on this blog. The building went for redevelopment, I knew I would miss my building where I have lived for over forty years. Every brick sighed and its breath diminished each day as the day approached for redevelopment. I remember the last rainy day in June 2014, the building wept. I had moved out for two years and taken a small flat close by. When I moved, what I missed the most was my balcony. Nine feet by four feet balcony was the area where I would spend most of my evenings. As the sun slumped across the horizon, its golden rays filtered though the tall trees spreading its warmth over me. I sat in my balcony with a cup of tea on the ledge and a mobile in my hand.

Then there would be chats on social media, forward messages to read or the missed phone call to...

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 friendl...
