Annual General Body Meeting-July 2010

By -
Today we had general body meeting which was attended by sixteen members only. Its funny how members fail to show up for meetings, I have noticed that generally people attend society meeting only if they have a problem which they need to address, otherwise they are happy to ask their neighbors for updates. I don't like to miss the society meetings unless I am travelling, for me it is a social responsibility. Being a member of a society, we have right to information, and right to express our opinion such that the living in the society becomes a pleasant experience. Plus it gives us chance to get to know the members and drop off the veil of alien-like feelings.

Anyways, the meeting started twenty minutes late, (waiting for late comers) and all the points on the agenda were discussed one by one.

 The nomination forms were available in the society office, few days prior to the meeting, whereby any member desiring to be the part of the committee could send in their application and become a member, and there were only five applicants who volunteered and were appointed. So we have a managing committee as follows:
  • Mr. Chainani – Chairman
  • Mrs. Arora – Secretary 
  • Mr. Balwani– Treasurer 
  • Mr Malhotra - committee member 
  • Mr. Amarnani – Committee member.  
After discussing the balance sheet for the year 2009-2010 and approving the same, we shifted our topic to redevelopment.


 The plans for redevelopment are under way, four of the committee members met with Satgurus builders few days ago to discuss the plans and the formalities, at present there are two propositions: 
  • One is to make ONE twelve- story-building occupying the whole plot of land with two lifts and a large lobby, which will have first six floors for present occupants and remaining six floors for new members
  • Second plan is to make TWO similar blocks with separate entrance, one behind the other, which might offer better ventilation, one block upto 12 floors for present occupants and other block upto 12 floors for new members. Both the plans will be presented to the society by Friday, where by members can discuss with their family the pros and cons of both the proposals and then there will be democratic voting to pass the final plan.
Since Satgurus has offered 33% extra space, the new area offered to the members will be as follows
  • Apartments with 650sq/ft will get 864sq/ft
  • Apartments with 550sq/ft will get 731sq/ft
  • Apartments with 450sq/ft will get 598sq/ft
We will have more frequent meeting once the plans are passed and I hope we will have good percentage of attendee too.

Now shall await the next meeting, next Sunday, 11th July 2010.

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
