My Dwarka, my delight

Dwarka sub city is a well planned and an organized residential area located in the south west of Delhi. Around six to seven years back, this place was nothing more than barren land. With huge apartments, tall buildings, clean wide roads and plenty of greenery, it has become one of the healthiest places in the capital.

As a resident of Dwarka I do face a few problems within the locality. To start with, people here often fall victim to problems like less parking facility, shortage of water, power, and lack of transport available and so on. Each problem has to be sorted out meticulously keeping in mind that no place on earth is perfect. As residents of Dwarka, it is not only our duty to make it suitable for living but is also our responsibility to make sure that our area is made better.

Dwarka is my home since seven years and I have seen this bare piece of land turn into a posh locality. Even basic necessities like grocery, water and electricity used to be a problem. People were not only hesitant to visit Dwarka but also stayed away from exploring this unknown piece of land on earth. But today it is known as the largest sub city of Asia. Some may argue saying, Dwarka does not have theatres or malls. In a way Dwarka-ites should consider it to be a blessing in disguise. Coming up of theatres or malls will pull in more crowd. More crowds would pull in more traffic. People would throng along from different parts of Delhi causing congestion and would make way for unscrupulous activities. As it is, Delhi is called the crime capital and no place in Delhi is free from crime; at least the number of crime happenings in Dwarka is less as compared to the other areas in Delhi.

The minute I slide down from the flyover and enter Dwarka, I get the feeling of entering a new world all together. It appears to be away from the crowds and happenings of the main city. Every sector or rather every plot in Dwarka is developed after a great deal of planning. Almost each sector has a DDA park for the kids to spend their evenings. Not only this, most apartments in Dwarka are spacious and have parking facility inside their apartments. So, one need not worry about parking their cars somewhere outside. Whereas, in the much talked about areas of South Delhi, parking one’s own car nearby becomes a problem.

The domestic as well as the international airports lie in the vicinity of Dwarka. Metro has been Dwarka’s pride ever since the beginning. The metro line connects Dwarka to central, north and east Delhi. Dwarka has certainly been a blessing to its residents and I would call myself lucky enough to stay in such a place. Right from temples to churches, schools to colleges, and hospitals to clinics, Dwarka-ites need not worry about anything

After setting up a number of schools within Dwarka, the government is already planning to set up colleges here. Delhi University’s Bhaskara Charaya college of applied sciences is already functional and along with it Indraprastha University is also hopeful of coming up with colleges within a year. Private colleges like Apeejay Institute of Management and Mass Communication has students from various parts of Delhi. All these colleges offer a variety of regular courses to students. This takes away the burden of commuting to far flung places for a degree or a diploma.

Popular joints have also opened their branches putting an end to travel all the way till CP or South Delhi. Pizza Hut, Bercos, Dominos, Pizza Corner, Costa Coffee and KFC have all reduced the strain of going out of Dwarka. Everything is made available in an easy manner. Restro- Bars like Club 7 and Godavari have come up for those who love to share a drink of beer or whisky.

Dwarka was earlier considered to be a dreadful place with no connectivity to the outside world; but looking at so much of developments, Dwarka has blossomed from a desolate land into a world class habitat in just no time and is no longer a godforsaken place as it was thought to be. Dwarka has changed beyond recognition and in no time it will be among the list of avant-garde places of the country.

My first day at work and a plethora of information

I entered my first day of work at Compare Infobase Ltd with a lot of anxiety and anticipation in mind. After finishing the paper formalities with the HR department of the organisation I was brought to my work station and introduced to my colleagues. A basic introduction on the company and its various ventures was then briefed up. The next task given to me was to go through a website called www.indiahousing.com.

I had often heard about www.indiahousing.com and might have even logged on the website, out of curiosity. But to my surprise I never examined the website in a careful manner as I did it just some time back. It was today when I realized that this particular website has information about almost everything. The first impression that a layman gets after hearing India housing, is probably a one line statement – details of real estate. But on the other hand, this particular website talks not only about real estate but it weaves a very dreamy picture of owning a lovely looking house.

Gone are days when we ourselves had to go looking out for a property dealer in the hot sun or windy winters. All thanks to the cyber world as all such information is available just a click away.

To begin with, the home page of the website opens with a statement of fact. It summarizes saying, every one of us have been habitual of drawing and painting a beautiful house with lush greenery around it. While drawing a house most of think about owning the same in our subconscious mind. Nor a single state neither a city goes without mention on www.indiahousing.com. Be it small affordable flats in the metros or a hill view house near a mountain, it has it all.

The number of links that this website has is indeed enormous and according to me, even a whole day would be less to read all the information given in different links. There are people who travel to different parts of the country for a variety of reasons; like, education, jobs, official transfers or even a holiday. www. indiahousing.com acts like a guide to all these people and helps find an accommodation suitable for them. Details about furnished houses, unfurnished houses, houses on rent or even paying guest accommodation is easily available on the website.

Interiors of our house are as important as the house itself is. Simply buying a house does not finish our job. The actual work starts after the house is bought. Interior decoration plays a vital role here. What curtains to put, what colours to paint; which furniture to use and how our kitchen should be are the questions that remain in our minds constantly. The simplest solution for all those who cannot afford to put much time thinking about it is to log on to this website and find answers to their never ending queries. Information on home appliances, modular kitchens, flooring, ceilings, lightings and so on can be found out after logging on to this website. Apart from just interior designing it also provides information on Vaastu and Feng shui.

It would not be wrong if said that www.indiahousing.com offers a one stop solution to all housing related concerns. Be it the interiors or the exteriors, it puts an end to our search. This website is surely a blessing for all those who are hopeful of beginning a new living.
