Written by -  Rishabh Siroya, Founder Siroya Corp & President, NextGen Committee, NAREDCO, Maharashtra. ____ Take any prominent city in India, Mumbai in particular, and you will find old, neglected, and often poorly maintained buildings dotting its skyline. Unlike other cities, many of these Mumbai buildings remain occupied even though they are at their end-of-life stage. As a result, they are almost impossible and uneconomical to repair and are a genuine threat to the life and limb of its residents. Moreover, despite location advantages, some particularly mid-rise structures need more basic facilities like lifts. However, these buildings are the key to addressing one of the most pressing problems of Mumbai's real estate - land shortage. This is where redevelopment comes into play, helping address both demand and supply of land and houses in one of the priciest real estate markets in the country. Per one estimate, the city has at least 14,000 buildings requiring massive repairs...

Lighting design is one of the many elements at the disposal of interior designers. People usually overlook the possibilities of lighting to enhance an environment. It can express your individuality and transform your house into a home. The effectiveness of other interior components, such as wall covering, flooring, and furnishings, will be diminished without adequate lighting. Good lighting is essential to maximise the aesthetics and efficiency of an abode. Many different types of lights can be used in interior design. Each light has its unique shape, size, usage, price, and identity. Before we get into the details, let's understand the fundamentals. Lights can be generally classified into two categories: natural and artificial. Sunlight is considered natural light and is entirely unpredictable. Artificial lights are versatile in terms of design, intensity, colour, and, most significantly, controllability.  Interior decorative lights can be classified into four varieties -  Am...

Do we belong to the era where we are aiming too high for our dreams and leaving no stones unturned in building our extravagant standard of living? The answer is not that simple because we have complicated it with our ideas of being fit in the definition of so-called modern society. So let us rephrase the question in a much straight forward but an undesirable way. Do we aim high now for us or society? Are we walking on the path of proving it to the world more than ourselves that how we are better than others? Unfortunately, the feeling of being superior has become an essential mindset of our ultra modernized club. This can be seen right from today's an upbringing where a child is conditioned to choose many sophisticated toys with more features than his friend, whether it's a student getting better marks than his classmate this time but not from his last performance, whether it's an employee who is getting higher appraisal in contrast to  his colleagues rather...

Frodo once said, “I wish it need not have happened in my time.” Time is such a wondrous and mysterious thing, shows the true value of us, but it becomes creepy when realized the guilt of not taking an essential decision in our past. Anyhow, most of us regret at least once in our lifetime- if I could do this, something better might could have happened or something similar to this. This is the worst yet almost invincible show of time which someone indulges in. Mine, five years younger self is just a 13 years old child; who has a similar mindset like any other normal child of this age group, wondering about comical characters, not worrying much about future. As an experienced boy, the only suggestion I would give to the younger me is ‘Dream big’! It will set the framework and will explore the limitations of practicality. It will be wrong if I say dreaming big is just a habit, moreover, it’s a matter of perception; thinking capacity, will power and perhaps more. It is the ...

Everyone likes to travel with friends and family but trust me, you will get the real fun of travel when you start traveling solo.

I used to spend a considerable chunk of my salary as rent for my apartment. The remaining I would try to allocate best to my monthly expenses while also adding up to my savings accounts. Sadly, amidst high prices of almost every product and services in the present day, your savings can have a hard time matching up to your consumption.                               Image credits: photopin From my personal experience as someone in their late-twenties, I know that having a good savings account and a smart investment portfolio is crucial to a secure future.
