Young home buyers are scripting Mumbai’s real estate redevelopment story

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...

The perfect guest room: How to impress your visitors

Designing a guest room that is both beautiful and comfortable is essential for creating a welcoming space that guests will love. When guests arrive, they want to feel as though they are staying in a hotel that offers all the amenities they need while also enjoying the intimacy and charm of a home. To create a warm and inviting design, it's important to focus on the essentials that any traveller would appreciate. Start with a luxurious bed that provides guests with a comfortable and restful night's sleep. A chair for reading or making phone calls is also a must, along with items that are often forgotten, such as phone chargers and toiletries. A guest room also presents an opportunity to experiment with décor trends that you may not want to incorporate into your own bedroom. Consider adding bold wall treatments, bright colours, or twin beds to create a unique and memorable experience for your guests. By combining these design elements, you can create a guest room that is both com...

The power of anecdotes: Why anecdotes are important in content writing

As a writer, you want to captivate and keep your audience engaged. One way to do this is to use anecdotes. It is no secret that people love reading about people. So here are some tips to help you incorporate stories into your writing. Observing people can inspire you If you need help with story ideas, try observing people in everyday situations. For example, you could visit a café or restaurant and watch the people around you. You may overhear a conversation or witness a small drama that sparks an idea for your next article. Anecdotes don't have to be dramatic Stories don't always have to be dramatic to resonate with readers. Everyday situations that people can relate to can be just as practical.
