'माझं घर....Women's Day Special

'माझं घर....

----

चांगलं झालं ड्राय बाल्कनी आहे घराला..., अरे ते पाहिलं ना किचन अगदी परफेक्ट आहे ते... रूम्स देखील पुरेशा मोठ्या आहेत. झालं घर फायनल आता. हे सर्व विचार ‘तिच्या’ मनातले आहेत... एखादं घर घेत असताना ते एका घरातल्या स्त्रीच्या दृष्टीने परफेक्ट असायलाच हवे. घराला घरपण एक स्त्रीच देते. त्यामुळे आपले घर निवडताना ती खूप
बारकाईने पाहते, विचार करते. आणि मगच आपलं मत देते.स्वयंपाकघरात हवी तशी सोय आहे का?, हवी तशी जागा आहे का?,घर हवेशीर आहे की नाही हे सर्व बघूनच ती घरखरेदीचा निर्णय घेते.पाहूया अशा कुठल्या गोष्टी आहे ज्यामुळे तिला घरकुल हवेहवसे वाटते...

१. एैस-पैस स्वयंपाकघर :

स्त्रीसाठी घरात सर्वात महत्वपूर्ण ठिकाण म्हणजे स्वयंपाकघर. आजचीस्त्री स्वयंपाकघरात जरी आपला सगळाच वेळ घालवत नसली तरी सुद्धा तिला तिचं स्वयंपाकघर अगदी तिला हवं तसं हवेशीर, मोकळी जागा असलेले आणि सगळ्या सोई-सुविधांनी युक्त असं हवं...त्यामध्ये सोईच्या ठिकाणी ‘इलेक्ट्रिसिटी स्विचेस’ असायला हवेत. जेणेकरुन ‘फ्रीज’ ‘माइक्रोवेव्ह’ आणि ‘मिक्सर’ सोईस्करिरत्या ठेवता येईल.विविध सामान ठेवण्यासाठी केलेले कप्पे, ‘मॉड्यूलर किचन‘, ‘क्रॉकरी’साठी वेगळे कपाट अशा सर्व सुविधा स्वयंपाकघरात असायलाच हव्यात. नवीन घर घेताना जागेनुसार काय कुठे  ठेवायचे हे गणित तिच्या मनात आधीच पक्के असते.

२. ड्राय बाल्कनी :

काळ बदलला तसे घर बांधणाच्या पद्धतीत आणि प्रकारांमध्ये देखील बदल झाला. सध्या घरांमध्ये ड्राय बाल्कनीचा ट्रेंड दिसतो. स्वयंपाकघराला लागूनच ही बाल्कनी असते. यामध्ये धुणी- भांडी करण्याची व्यवस्था, धुतलेले कपडे वाळत घालण्याची व्यवस्था असते. छोटी झाडे, रोपटे ठेवून या ‘ड्राय बाल्कनी’ला सुंदर सजवता येवू शकते. ही बाल्कनी स्त्रियांच्या दृष्टीने खूप महत्वाची असते.

३. बेडरूम :

घरातील इतर भाग जितके महत्वाचे असतात, तितकीच किंबहुना त्याहून जास्त महत्वाची खोली बेडरूम असते. येथे आल्यावर दिवसभराचा थकवा निघून जावा असे वाटले पाहिजे. यासाठी खोलीचा रंग, आवडीनुसार पलंग,  कपाटांचे ठिकाण, पुस्तक वाचण्याची आवड असलेल्यांनी खिडकी जवळच आरामात बसण्यासाठी एक विशेष जागा असे सगळे विचारात घेवून ती आपली खोली सजवते. त्यामधील पडदे, भिंतींचे रंग कुठले असतील, कपाटं कुठे असतील, बेड कुठल्या प्रकारचा असेल. हे सर्व डोक्यात ठेवून झोपण्याच्या खोलीची निवड करण्यात येते. आणि जर झोपण्याची खोली हवी तशी नसली तर ते घर घेणे ‘कॅन्सल’ सुद्धा हवू शकते बरं का...

४. मोकळी जागा आणि हवेशीरपणा :

घर जर खूप सुटसुटीत नसेल तर ते तीला कधीच आवणार नाही. घर हे हवेशीर असले पाहीजे. यामध्ये ‘क्रॉस व्हेंटिलेशन’ला जागा आहे की नाही. आरामशीर खिडक्या आणि सुंदर बाल्कनी आहे की नाही. या सर्व गोष्टींकडे घरातील महिलेचे बारकाईने लक्ष असते. घराच्या आजूबाजूला थोडी मोकळी जागा असणे, त्यामध्ये आवडीनुसार छोटी बाग करणे किंवा घरासमोरच्या जागेत झोपाळा लावणे ही छोटी छोटी स्वप्न प्रत्येकाच स्त्रीच्या मनात असतात. आणि नवीन घर घेत असताना आपले प्रत्येक स्वप्न पूर्ण व्हावे असे देखील तिला वाटणे साहाजिक आहे. म्हणून मोकळी जागा आणि हवेशीरपणा घरात असणे महत्वाचे आहे.

५. सुरक्षा :

महिलांच्या दृष्टीने सुरक्षा हा सर्वात महत्वाचा मुद्दा असतो. नवीन फ्लॅट असल्यास तो सुरक्षित प्रकल्पांमध्ये आहे की नाही, शेजार चांगले आहे की नाही. सोसायटी पर्यावरण पूरक हे का, तेथे विविध सुख सुविधा आणि सुरक्षेची व्यवस्था आहे की नाही या सर्व गोष्टींकडे महिलांचे मु‘य लक्ष असते. सुरक्षा असल्याशिवाय ते घर कितीही चांगले असले तरी ती हो म्हणणारच नाही.

७. लॉन किंवा बागेसाठी जागा :

स्त्रियांना निसर्गाविषयी विशेष प्रेम असते. आपल्या घरात छोटी बाग, किचन गार्डन, किंवा संध्याकाळी चहा पिण्यासाठी एखादा छोटा लॉन असणे तीचे स्वप्न असते. त्यामुळे घर घेताना जर अशी जागा असेल तर ते घर ‘फायनल’ झालंच म्हणून समजा. जर घर समृद्ध ठेवायचे असेल तर त्यात घरातील स्त्री आनंदी असणे खूप आवश्यक असते. घराला घरपण देण्यासाठी या काही गोष्टींकडे स्त्रियांचे बारकाईने लक्ष असते आणि या महत्वाच्या गोष्टींना डोळ्या समोर ठेवूनच ती घर घेण्यासाठी राजी होते.

ईश्‍वर परमार ग्रुपचे ‘कुटुंबकेंद्रित’ प्रकल्प याशिवाय तिच्या चिमुकल्यांना खेळण्यासाठी जागा,बाजारपेठ,हॉस्पीटल,शाळा, कॉलेज ही दररोजची आवश्यक ठिकाणे सुद्धा जवळ असणे घरातल्या स्त्रीला अपेक्षितच असतात. ती तिच्या अपेक्षांशी तडजोड कधीच करीत नाही. आणि मी देखील एक महिला म्हणून सर्वांगिण विचार करूनच मी माझ्या प्रकल्पांमधील घरांची रचना, तिथल्या सुख-सुविधांचा निर्णय घेते. एक महिला म्हणून मी स्वतःला भाग्यशाली समजते की, घराची उभारणी करताना मी माझ्यासारख्या असंख्य ‘कर्तव्यदक्ष’ सखींचा विचार करते याचा...एका महिलेने वरती व्यक्त केलेल्या सर्व अपेक्षा तुम्हाला ‘ईश्‍वर परमार ग्रुप’ प्रकल्पांमधून असताना वा पूर्ण होत असताना दिसतील. ‘रिव्हर रेसिडन्सी’ प्रकल्पातही या व यासारख्या आवश्यक इतर सर्वच सुविधांचा विचार केला गेला आहे.

It is always preferable to get those leakages and cracks fixed in your house before the rain water start pouring out in your house. Give a makeover to your house and enjoy the rainy season having just fun.

2.      Cover up the switches and replace the damaged electrical cords
Right before the showers start, cover all those switches which can be affected by rain water. Monsoon brings humidity and leaves everything with moisture which cause electric shocks.

Nobody likes a house which stinks with the dampness left after the rains. Get rid of the outcomes before monsoon arrives, get some new ventilators installed along with some nice automatic fragrance sprays.

6.      Do not let water stagnate.
No doubt we all love to enjoy and bathe in rain water but we must ensure that the water doesn’t stag. The stagnant water gives rise to n number of germs and diseases which are harmful.

7.      Pest control before rainy season is a must.
It is said that all the insects and pests double up in monsoon season, so do the chances of falling sick. To prevent yourself from all the diseases and visiting your doctor again and again, get the pest control done before the season marks its presence.

8.     Enjoy the weather on your porch with some chai and bhajiya
Make the best of memories this monsoon season with your family. Sip “Garma Garam Chai and Bhajiya” while you enjoy the thunder and storm in your balcony.

9.      Go on long drives and vacation to hill stations
Best way to spend your weekends during the rainy season is to take short trips to nearby hill stations, lakes and forests. Monsoon and a lake side picnic with your family is always a heads up.

1.  Feast on a lot of seasonal fruits and veggies.
Lastly, you’ll see the markets blooming with all the exotic seasonal vegetables and fruits for which we wait for another 365 days. Go ahead and enjoy them before the season and the yumminess comes to an end.

MAKING THE DECISION TO BUY A DREAM HOME IS AN EXCITEMENT, BUT IT’S ONLY THE HALF BATTLE WON

SHELTERING YOUR HEAD UNDER THE PERFECT ROOF IS THE ART OF CHOICE

Home is a place that gives you unconditional love, happiness and comfort. It is the place where you can bury your sorrows and shame without guilt. To feel homely, you don’t need to the trappings of opulence. It’s the biggest investment decision of your life and will take up most of your savings. Now you need to find the property that’s the perfect fit for you, your family and guests.

Prime Hub (Future in Perspective): It is not necessary that project on main roads has location advantage; down the line, after some years it shouldn’t be the case that you realize that you have done a mistake by selecting Residential Project located on the main road because of increased traffic sound and commercial activities.  You should check for basic facilities like grocery store, schools, hospitals, public transport and the like rather, while selecting any location.

Get a hold on your temptation: Don’t go by the sample flat, it is meant to attract customers and includes several furnishings that actual flat won’t have. A sample flat is a decorative item. Therefore, don’t go by what you see and inquire about each and every aspect of the house.

Builder Reputation:  Check the history of the builder/developer as a buyer/investor. Visit old buildings constructed by the same builder, you will be in a position to decide upon the quality standard followed by the builder. Check the past history so that you can make a prediction that whether builder will provide the flat on promised possession date or not.    

  

Features and Specifications: Features are the building facilities and specifications are related to facilities and amenities provided in the flat. Every Builder/Developer gives host of features and specifications to lure buyers. The important part in this regard is to understand which features and specifications are of real use and which are cosmetic.

Financial helping hand (Loan facility): Builders often rope in banks for hassle-free financing. Banks do a thorough check of the property, and the prospective buyer doesn’t have to go through the hassle of getting the project approved by a bank surveyor for a loan. Bank assures you of sound legal and technical credentials.    

Area Calculations: there are three basic and commonly used terms which you will come across while buying any residential flat/apartment and the list includes: The Carpet Area (area within the four walls), Built up Area (area including the carpet area and area occupied by the walls), Super Built up Area (area including the carpet area, built up area and proportionate of common areas).

DIY wall painting tricks

Doing a wall painting in your home is no big deal. To perk up your pad and make it look chic, here are a few simple, yet interesting ways in which you can paint your walls. 

Colourful dripping wet ink drawings can be made with coloured inks. Use a stencil to make a drawing. Now splatter inks or watered paints onto the canvas and allow the paints to dribble down. You can alternatively do it with melting crayons.

If you aren't too good at drawing, don't worry. You can paint your favourite song lyrics or movie dialogues on the wall too.

Choose colours that are interesting and will also depict your personality. For example, if you are a calm and composed person, colours like baby pink and pale blue are great options. Similarly, if you are the adventurous sort, you can always go in for darker hues like maroon or deep purple.

Other than painting your wall, you can also sketch caricatures or make simple scenes. You don't have to be a professional to do this. A rural scene or cartoon characters will also make your wall look interesting.

If you do not want a descriptive painting on your wall, you can always go in for a colour code and then have wall art done on it. For this, you can choose wall colours that will give the right feel - shades of blue and red are good options.

Ishwar Parmar Group's Hand Full of Earth

Whoa! 

Thank you all for an overwhelming response on the Hands full of Earth event. 9675 visitors in 3 days! Now that is commendable, isn’t it?

Quick Flashback:

We started with an idea to experience mother nature at its best. With tribute in our hearts for the ever giving Earth we brought in Hands full of Earth. Presented by Ishwar Parmar Group and brought by Prithwe, this was one of its kind event organized on 17^th, 18^th and 19^th April in lieu with Earth Day that is celebrated globally on 22^nd April.

We decided to sponsor this event because:

1.     Our developer fraternity is usually accused of building concrete jungles that harm the nature. With this event we wanted to tell the people that we are a developer with conscience. And we take as many steps possible to preserve and save the nature.

2.     Our Ishwar Parmar Group stands on 4 Cornerstones, "The 4P's" of the group. One of these 4P's is Planet. Where we as a group are always ready to contribute towards earth.

The entire event was planned and executed at Pingle Farms in Koregaon Park. The entire ambience was transformed into a small green zone. As people stepped in, they were welcomed by Ishwar Parmar Group’s serene sounds of nature inspired from the sounds that are experienced at the Ishwar Parmar homes. The mesmerizing sounds created the nostalgia of moving in a lush green forest. The visually enticing panels by Ishwar Parmar Group welcomed the visitors.

A stupendous tree, crafted by bamboo, with just the branches was placed at the event. People could write their experiences, messages and stick it on the branch, thus making it the leaves of the tree.

The logo of the group became the inspiration as at the entrance, there was a mirror that said “Have a look at yourself before you have experienced the earth" and at the exit another mirror that said “Take a look, now that you have experienced nature". This little deed boosted pride in the hearts of the visitors thus encouraging them to do their bit for Mother Nature.

There were places allocated for the workshops and activities. Catering to all the age groups the wide array of activities here included:

1.     Feel at home - The Parmar's Barefoot Park.

2.     Earth Produce

3.     Earth Science

4.     Earth Art

5.     Earth Sculptures

7.     Earth Games

8.     Parmar’s conscious Earth Build

9.     Earth Store

10.  Earth Workshops

11.  There was music played with earthy elements, small skits blended with loads of entertainment at the venue.

The Magnanimous Response:

9675 people walked in and extended their support. Not only kids but also the adults took the opportunity to celebrate Mother Nature at its best. They enhanced their knowledge by taking active participation in the workshops, enthusiastically took part in creating masterpieces with earthy elements.

The varied expressions during the event added charm to our efforts and brought us all step closer to our planet. The event concluded by creating “Hands full of experience and awareness” towards Mother Earth, thus flourishing that long lasting bond.

Idea behind the Idea | Hands Full Of Earth

 

The Idea for the event

We all talk about global warming; we all share our concern about the deteriorating condition of the Earth, but how many of us actually take efforts to help the planet? Some of us lack time and direction while others lack awareness.

Do you know there are many evolutionary approaches for grounding and connecting to earth’s rhythm and resonance taking place globally?

In order to create this awareness, we are presenting the Hands full of Earth festival. This 3 day mega celebration will help us show the society a new direction and transform our relationship with planet Earth.

Understanding the concept

Due to lack of time playing in the mud, running around the trees, filling the pocket with pebbles and chasing the birds seems just like those nostalgic childhood memories. The idea of Hands full of Earth is to tingle people’s minds with small and joyful experiences.  The learning through experience lasts longer and thus we have integrated lively experiences with this event.

Factors To Be Considered Before Taking A Home Loan.

“Roti! Kapda aur Makaan” , have always been the pillars of our survival. All the hustle and bustle, the painstaking routine and the work hard attitude is done to earn the best of the above. Apart from the lucky lads majority of us need to work in lieu to conquer the Makaan pillar. With not many options & luring asset in hand one opts for home loan to get his “Sapno ka ghar.” With so many banks & financial institutions in the market today it is natural to get stuck in a dilemma to make the best of decision.

One minute just stop & think, what is the purpose of buying the property, investment or residing? If you are clear on this then do check the credibility of the property, its location, builder’s history because one loophole would take you no where.

After gathering all the information, first & foremost check your CIBIL score. Good CIBIL score is considered 750 & above. If your score is 750 and above the chances of getting loan approved quickly are higher.  (Score check -  https://www.cibil.com/online/credit-score-check.do at just Rs.470.

Then go through the RBI guidelines. These guidelines will give you a clear insight, as how much loan you can get. If your requirement is for Rs.20 lacs you stand a chance of getting loan approved for about 90% & if your requirement if for more than Rs.20 lacs, the percentage boils down to 85%.

With the RBI guidelines in mind you can then look up at banks of your preference. While checking out the EMI percentage, specially check the processing fees formulated by them. The EMI plays a pivotal role while selecting a bank but we often are mislead as we don’t consider the tenure applied for. If you are aiming at investment as a home loan the tenure could be maximized keeping the EMI to the minimal.

 Banks put across luring advertisements and offers but there are many conditions under the quilt. Do consider the hidden factors too.

Lastly, it is misinterpreted that financial institutions aren’t a good choice while opting for loans but when put against banks & their offers today, the financial institutions are no less & if vouched for, they stand at a better place, with great leverages.

Before taking a home loan consider the above factors because it’s all about your dream home and that hard earned money!

Real Estate Development in PCMC

There’s something about Pimpri Chinchwad that is quite different from what goes around in the rest of the city and its property market. PCMC is one of the prime examples of how a planned satellite town can surpass the emergence and growth of its parent city, Pune in a very short period of time.

The influx of industries in PCMC has created tremendous employment opportunities for the masses. As a result of this, the quality of infrastructure in PCMC has improved exponentially. This indirectly results in residential real estate demand.

Some of the most important features of PCMC are as mentioned below:

1. Pimpri Chinchwad offers ample connectivity to Pune via road and rail
2. Presence of a large MIDC area generates countless job opportunities every year for the masses
3. Quality of infrastructure in PCMC is far more superior than what the parent city offers
4. The planning authorities for PCMC’s real estate development have ensured that the development process strictly follows a planned model, making sure that a high degree of living standards in maintained

The futuristic thinking that went into this unconventional satellite city has helped Pimpri Chinchwad to establish itself as an acknowledged masterpiece of real estate development. Apart from the residential and commercial property development, authorities in PCMC have taken care of the fact that the city’s natural, cultural, social and economic resources are preserved.

For a home buyer, PCMC seems like the perfect getaway from the unregulated urban sprawl in Pune and adjoining Navi Mumbai. This has also resulted in real estate appreciation in Pimpri Chinchwad since the potential of new properties being developed in PCMC is more than anywhere else in the adjoining areas. Education, healthcare, shopping and entertainment complexes have raised Pimpri Chinchwad’s value as a residential and commercial hub. It’s time for PCMC now to rise and announce its arrival in the real estate spectrum. 

iParmar's River Residency Registered for 5 Star Green Rating with GRIHA

iParmar's River Residency, the iconic 34 acre integrated township in Chikhali, PCMC, scores another “First”.

It  is the first integrated township in PCMC to register for a 5 Star rating from GRIHA — Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment— the National Rating System for Green Buildings. This rating, based on a several criteria at the planning, construction and post-construction stages of a project, acknowledges the Environment Conservation and Energy Preservation initiatives which are an integral part of the project.

As per PCMC norms, this rating will also confer substantial Property Tax benefits to home owners in the project, resulting in significant savings year after year.

Investing in Incredible Pune

India has witnessed major development and rapid transformation in the recent past, which is a proven advantage to the economy. This development has led to rising trends in lifestyle, purchasing power and property value.

The property market across the globe is at a low, with investments yielding between 2% to almost negative returns. The Indian real estate scenario, in contrast, is far more promising with an appreciation value anywhere between 25-40%. So, when it comes to investing in property, it comes as no surprise that many NRIs are now putting their money into India. In addition to making good business sense, their underlying emotional attachment to their home country makes it inevitable.

The appreciation of property values in cities like Pune, one of the fastest growing in India is valued at a minimum 7%, with its bordering cities and annexes, such as the twin townships of Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC), Chakan and Chikali growing at a whopping 30%. Driven by a number of factors, such as flourishing industry, a vibrant automobile, steel, IT and service sectors, the demand for housing continues to rise in PCMC, which boasts of state-of-the-art infrastructure. Chakan and Chikali are now commercial hubs with easy access and connectivity to Mumbai. Keeping this in mind iParmar’s River Residency has been designed and created to suit living and investing needs.

Whilst the rise in property values has seen a corresponding rise in the number of NRIs investing in Indian real estate, there are other contributing factors as well: Several Non Resident Indians plan to return to India in the future and purchasing property now just makes better sense. But it’s not only NRIs with plans to come home who are buying property; a large number of the Diaspora, are also emotionally tied to India, with family members still living here, and with e-solutions now easing the way, India’s property market is fast becoming part of its shining story.

As in every business decision, due diligence is a must, if one is to reap the many benefits of this burgeoning market. So, going with a reputed builder with an established track record is always recommended: Not only are you assured of a quality construction packed with modern amenities and specifications, you also get the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’ve spent your money wisely and well.
