BUILDING CASTLE IN THE AIR- it’s time to rethink

Owning an immovable property is believed to be the most lucrative and safest way of investment. The working populace, after retirement, places their hard-earned money into buying a flat or land, as a secure asset. But, now a days, it has become really difficult for owning a flat in the online era. Many a time, gullible people are getting cheated, as they are not aware of the state of affair going on in the real estate market. The virtual sale of property does not guarantee the existence of the belonging.

Recently, many cases have been reported in and around Mohali, where the investors have to move hither and thither for getting their money refunded. But, that hardly has any effect, as the realtors are always far from getting connected. Police reports say that most of the realtors do not have land possession and other related permission, but are known for their luxurious offices. After accepting the booking amount, they vanish from the spot, leaving nothing behind.

Many people lost their money in lakhs, and the consumer courts are flooded with complaints. As per the record, around 15% complaints filed are related to real estate disputes. This has given rise to a perilous condition, which creates a fear and suspicion in the minds of investors about the trustworthiness of the real estate firm.

In this scenario, Mona Townships has gained a distinction of being the most reliable and genuine enterprise respecting the value of their investors’ money. They leave a legacy of developing some of the most promising real estate projects with outstanding credentials. The most distinguishing factor which keeps them apart from other related firms is the trust and certitude that they earned over decades. As they position the investor at the top, they find time in reading their minds, and accordingly, they show the magnanimity in reaching out to them. This immensely helps them in cultivating a healthy relation with the customers.

Independence Day a time to rejoice as Indians

At midnight on August 14th 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru gave his now famous speech, ‘Awake to freedom’ “Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes which comes rarely in history, when we step from old to new, then an age ends, and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance”.  The next morning on 15th August 1947 we were finally free from British rule when Jawaharlal Nehru raised the tri-colour from the Red Fort.

However, as we are entering the 68th year of our independence we all should step back and think have we really become free or we have just become physically free and mentally we are still enslaved to the ideals of the west. Have we really become independent as a society? Have we as Indians created a unique identity for the world to see and admire?

One of the dreams that our founding fathers had was to see a self-reliant strong, independent and a country with its own identity, however even today what we see is that we are blindly aping west not  their good attributes but aping the western brands and the lifestyle choices they make. I reality if anything we should be aping their focus on innovations and research and creating companies like Microsoft or Google, we should be aping European countries like France or Italy, the way the preserve their language you would rarely see them speaking in English unless required to whereas we feel ashamed to speak in our mother tongue, while there is nothing wrong in English it should be used when needed, whereas our mother tongue is the heart of this wonderful nation.

The country is symbolized with rampant corruption, violence against women, and intolerance towards each other as human beings. Greed has become the prime factor nowadays. However harsh it may sound but this is reality of today. What we want is the India that our forefathers dreamt it to be liked, tolerant, corruption free, where multi language and multi cultures all merge as one.

So on this Independence Day let us all sit down and think as citizens of India how we will make all efforts to make this country the way our founding fathers envisaged it to be and if we can build that India, that will be the day we will be truly free.

Happy Independence Day to All

A place that promotes Healthy Lifestyle

Asleep on the job, isn't that the state of the most of us? Why are we so lethargic at the age of 20? The youth between the age group of 18 and above have many health complaints? They complain about being overworked most of the times and as a result they are always drained out, tired, broken-down and end up being depressed for not being able to cope up with work pressure resulting in complaints of acidity, backache, constipation, head ache, poor vision, lethargy, poor concentration.

Change in taste

Our grandparents and our parents are much stronger then what we are. Complaints regarding health issues have become prevalent amongst the youth. Have you ever wondered, why? Well, since the arrival of the Italian foods like the pastas, burgers, pizzas, the arrival of Chinese food, the introduction of all those new cuisines which the audiences of India are not acquainted with. However, from a regular meal that we Indians are used to, like the Dal, Roti, Sabjee, Chawal, which is the staple diet of the majority of Indians. It’s alright to go for a change once in a while, but when if this goes on a regular basis that is when the problems begin to settle in. Because of trying to adjust with the new set of taste which takes a while for our system to adjust to that kind of food. However, even if we get used to the kind of food that is not of the Indian Origins then there are the aerated drinks like the Coke, Pepsi, without which we cannot proceed with our food. It has replaced water. It’s a compulsory diet in our food. These drinks don’t have any health benefits. At least those cuisines have some vitamins embed in them but the aerated drinks just do not have any health benefits whatsoever.

Let me cite you an example, if a foreigner tries to adjust his tastes according to the spices made in India, he may or may not like it. If he likes it he will eat it on a regular basis trying to adjust his system according to the taste while if he does not but he has no other option other than to adjust itself with the food he will have to go through a lot of churns in his stomach.

Partying without Alcohol and Cigarettes

That is such a taboo! The regular intake of Alcohol, Smoke, Smoking Pots, Joints, forms of Marijuana, which has lost our appetite for good food and a healthy lifestyle. We come across many instances when while partying with friends, it’s a custom for even non-drinkers to carry a glass with them. Otherwise you are just out of the social circle. It’s not very easy to avoid them for they are your friends, and by the time you have begun avoiding them, you are already obsessed with the Alcohol, Cigarettes and Joints and to come out of it is not an easy task. The craving for it is so bad that the more you try to control it, the more you get frustrated and anger and then leading to things that you never thought you would do. For anger, frustration leads to things that only lead to regret. I was astonished when a friend was confronted by a doctor and she had just many good reasons to justify weeds are as good as herbs. Even if they are, she was just unwilling to listen to the doctor when he explained her side effects of having them. Regular consumption leads to schizophrenia at a very early stage, amnesia is the other side effects, the haggard and the dullness that has surrounded your face, these people always look pale. The ecstasy you are encompassed with, the moment you are depressed about something a joint is the only solution.

Imbibing good habits from our Grandparents

For our ancestors always had a daily routine of morning walks while youngsters are still asleep in their bed till late afternoon unless they are assigned to some work. Our grandparents have had a discipline in their food habits which is lacking amongst us. They had a lifestyle filled with discipline while we don’t have discipline with our own lives. They have had ghee while we detest ghee for the reason that it causes fat and since workout can never be included in the schedule ghee are a big no, they detest eating ghee just at all. The work style of our grandparents involved of moving their asses from one place to another. While the generations today sit back with their laptop and get their work done. They don’t have to move around their asses.

The laid back lifestyle

Due to this laid back lifestyle and intake of the junk food, has brought down the age group sufferers of High Blood Pressure, Heart Attack, Diabetes. Shockingly, high blood pressure is common with the 14 year old. Diabetes, Heart Diseases, Tuberculosis and Acidity is a common incidence from just 20 year olds.

Obsession

The silent killer, Youngsters get easily obsessed with just anything. Be it their jobs, their friends, the drinks and joints and if you don’t get them it can easily dampen your peacefulness.

Coming out of it

As easier as it is to get into it and getting acquainted with this lifestyle it’s tougher to come out of it. If the person is really willing to come out of it, then there are many ways. The first thing first is the control, Secondly, if its way beyond your own self or your family member who is helping you cope up with it then there is Rehabilitation Centre where you undergo detoxification where your blood is purified.

If you want to avoid the process of the above then I’d suggest begin today with a morning walk and let morning breeze feel your senses. There is a reason Mt Mohali has greenery surrounded in its area. “It’s never too late to begin”. Boman Irani the famous actor started pursuing his career for acting at a very later stage and if we look at him his acting is cannot be compared. Many movies have been based out of a lifestyle of these sorts. The recent one that I watched was, Denzel Washington’s “Flight”, it is a highly recommended movie for the obsessed. 

Foreigners and Ajitgarh

Problems faced by a foreigner in India
 

The main motive that of an avid traveller is to keep exploring place, people, culture but it should be different from the one that has been experienced.  Foreigners that come down to India to experience its culture and people and have many options in India for it is a vast country. They would visit cities only to be bombarded by bullying drivers, rickshaw pullers, at the restaurants and sorts taking advantage of them being foreign nationals they are ought to be rich and can pay more than that it is required.  It’s humiliating for them at the first sight when they see these behaviors. 

I was astonished myself when I had gone for a sight-seeing to QutabMinar in Delhi. There were two   counters one for foreign nationals and the other for the Indians. I thought probably they are cross-checking their documents or something. I went ahead and bought myself and my friend a ticket. Just then a foreigner approached me and told me if I could be of help to her, “Certainly why not” I said. She explained her woes; the price of the tickets was ten times more than what is generally charged.  I said I’ll do it. That is not a problem. I went to the ticket counter standing in the queue. While, I was in the queue police men standing understood the apprehension came up to me and asked whether I was buying tickets for the foreigners. I said them, “No”. They said that the tickets for foreign nationals had Foreigners imprinted on them. I replied, “No worries Sir, I am buying it for myself. I don’t see why I should help them”. 

I bought the tickets, gestured them to meet me in an area where the police officers could not be spotted and then I gave it to them. And told them to hide your palms across the area where the Indian National was mentioned and wished them Good luck. As I was entered and passed through the gates the guard hardly even gave a glimpse at the ticket and tore it down from one area, as a sign that the ticket has been approved. I entered and was looking around if they made their way through the gates. After a while I spotted them. They were highly thankful to me. 

Imagining that the problems they face when they travel to other parts of the country, they are bullied easily from taxi drivers, to auto rickshaws to restaurants where there is a different menu card for the foreign nationals. It is extremely humiliating and can set up an entirely different image of our country. They feel humiliated, cheated and most importantly they don’t feel safe. 

What’s in store for foreigners in Ajitgarh? And most importantly why is it safe?

The lifestyle that of the resident is slow paced and in not as fast paced as it is in the city. They don’t have the lifestyle that of people living in the city but a very normal village life. People wake up early morning, go to work come back before dawn and sleep early. That the main motive of a traveler especially who is a foreigner can be captured in this city because of the easy mind sets and the cultural ethics that they want to experience can be found by talking to people around, the tranquility that of a village life too can be experienced.

Since, the lifestyle has been slow paced and people here don’t have ambitions, there thought process is not directed to towards any other thing than their own motive to earn the daily bread. They go for the chores and get back before dawn. Ask them about the political scenario they won’t know anything. They won’t ever dare question if you come up with a new name. If asked who would they like to vote the answer would be, “The one who is the winning member of the district, we will vote for them.” People come people go. It hardly makes any difference to them. All they care about is as long as they are able to earn their daily bread. All is just fine. 

A thought process is what makes all the difference that is when the characteristics of the city comes to the picture. When the people living in the city can’t do their own thinking and their thoughts can never deviate to anything else, that is the reason for the city having a tranquility of its own.

Safety for foreigners and yet, “The India” that needs to be experienced, is just right here in this town called Ajitgarh.
