From Daulat Baugh To Satguru Shlok

16 new builders had walked into our society with proposals of which 5 builders were narrowed down by committee members after going through their portfolios. The builders that have been narrowed down are Satgurus, Nagpal Developers, Parthesh builders, Man Global and Midcity group. There is a notice board in the society which is open everyday in the evening and society members are asked to study the proposals and the record of their performance about each of these builders before voting for the builder. There will be a presentation by the builders at a fixed venue to be decided upon and all the members will be asked to attend that meeting. After the presentation, the voting will take place which will be video-recorded and the final decision will be taken for the next action.

I know its summer holidays when I hear the children playing down in the compound. Daulat Baugh had always been a playground for all the kids of the 36th Lane. I have beautiful memories of my childhood in this building and I would never want to go and live elsewhere But now it is 50 years old and it is in a very bad shape. My heart bleeds. We need to decide fast, want renovation or go for redevelopment. Renovation will cost lotsa money, and I am not willing to invest in the building where the renovation might last only for next 5 years and the we will be to back to square one. I am all for redevelopment, for a very special reason that I am not getting younger and find it difficult to climb two stories. Redevelopment means a shiny building with 2 lifts, a modular kitchen and bathroom with touch of class plus extra space of 33 percent. I think it is a good bargain for everybody in the building. A new building will also upgrade the value of the house, since it is in a prime location....
