Prices of real estate in Hyderabad are still one of the most reasonable in the country. So, before you forego a 3 BHK unit in favor of a 2 BHK, you must STOP for a while and think of a few facts listed below. 5 facts you ‘must-know’ are- 1. A 3 BHK apartments offers more utility, more space, and is a better option for your future needs 2. Stretching paying more for a 3 BHK apartment sooner is wise 3.

3 blunders that occur due to over-obsession with Vastu- a sensible perspective for 3 BHK apartment buyers in Hyderabad!
3 blunders that occur due to over-obsession with Vastu– a sensible perspective for 3 BHK apartment buyers in Hyderabad! Vastu Shastra, for many, is the single MOST IMPORTANT consideration that sometimes goes to the extent of superstition compounded by fear of ‘non-compliance. Homebuyers in Hyderabad and various other Indian cities are scared to have bad luck and ills befalling their loved ones. Some of the fear-mongering Vastu pundits and even literature on Vastu leave no leaves unturned to propagate and fuel this fear. The gullible home buyers avoid inviting the wrath of the Gods and give in to complying even if they don’t believe. This article is meant only for those who understand the logic of Vastu as envisaged by the proponents of Vastu Shastra like Sage Mamuni Mayan, Thakkar Pheru, Ramachandra Bhattaraka Kaulachara among others. 3 mistakes that are caused by an over-obsession with Vastu are- 1. Rejecting homes that well-ventilated, well-lit up spaces on account of strict adherence to Vastu tenets Home buyers MUST NOT reject homes that have well lit-up spaces, regardless of what Vastu says First check if ‘benefits’ of Vastu are even coming to you? For instance, if we are getting a guest or children’s bedroom that’s well-ventilated, and full of sunlight on South-East, why reject? As per Vastu, South-East is meant for Kitchen. Also, if the kitchen is located in North-East, why reject it so far as you are getting adequate sunlight and free-flowing air? Similarly, let’s take an example of a perfect Vastu compliant Kitchen, which is suffocating: If it is a perfect Vastu compliant kitchen, and there is NOT access to morning sunlight from South-East. Infact, South-East corner of your proposed flat is completely blocked on sunlight and free flowing air, should you still buy that apartment? It is Vastu compliant, since South-East direction is the best for kitchen, BUT IT DOES NOT SERVE ANY PURPOSE. It does NOT give you the scientific benefit that Vastu Shastra is built upon, because it does NOT kill bacteria and give you early morning sunlight. That’s unhealthy! Why ACCEPT such a Vastu compliant home? 2. Willingness to buy and live in 100% Vastu compliant homes that are NOT pleasing & comfortable to live-in for 3 BHK apartments Actually sometimes, you get a Vastu design with dark and dingy bedrooms, which cause illness and poor health. These darker areas of the apartment may be modified for more light and ventilation, and may NOT be appropriate for a bedroom At times, designs of 3 BHK apartments are made to give you more sunlight and better ventilation. Instead of appreciating the benefits, we end up REJECTING these apartments because Vastu tenets say something else For example, having a Master bedroom in South-West direction is best as per Vastu, but in your chosen apartment, the wall on the South as well as West is completely blocked with corridors/buildings on the other side. Which means, you have NO sunlight and air. That’s unhealthy! Why ACCEPT such a Vastu compliant home? 3. Getting influenced by closed-minded elders or ‘fear mongers’ who are completely consumed by Vastu Some of our elders may NOT enlightened about the basis of Vastu as envisaged 3000 years ago, which is to use ‘Panchabhutas’ (5 elements of nature- Earth, Water, Fire, Atmosphere and Air) to live in harmony with nature Not understanding this is the biggest mistake and challenge. It becomes more difficult when elders or Vastu pundits scare you with dire consequences if you did NOT buy a Vastu compliant flat Fact remains, over 3000 years back when Sage Mamuni Mayan, Thakkar Pheru, Ramachandra Bhattaraka Kaulachara and others wrote about Vastu tenets, they did NOT know that human beings will begin living in 3 BHK apartments, which will be a clustered living Simply put- Vastu Shastra does NOT apply to an apartment-living configuration Two important facts need to be understood- A. Vastu Shastra was propounded as a means to ‘enhance the quality of life, with a focus on the use of ‘sunlight’ and ‘ventilation’ in a scientific way for all the members of the family B. Tenets of Vastu was meant to help members lead a comfortable, happy life by being in harmony with nature and the environs around us Going by this scientific logic and intent, we need to understand that Vastu principles do NOT apply to apartments in their entirety. When you are surrounded by apartments all around you, sunlight and ventilation can NOT be made fully available to you. Vastu tenets may apply only on open plots, and that too, if ‘sunlight’ and ‘ventilation’ (flow of air) remains unrestricted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Explaining why Vastu need NOT be your sole consideration for buying your 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad!” Click here
Explaining why Vastu need NOT be your sole consideration for buying your 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad!
Explaining why Vastu need NOT be your sole consideration for buying your 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad! While buying your 3 BHK or bigger apartment in Hyderabad, one of the most important considerations that overshadows all other considerations for many homebuyers is- VASTU. A Vastu compliant home is perhaps the most basic pre-requisite, without which, sometimes, homebuyers in Hyderabad don’t even enter a residential complex. No wonder builders make it a point to not only give STRICTLY VASTU compliant floors but go all out to advertise their offering as being ‘Apartments made 100% as per Vastu’! The home buyers on the other hand go all out to study facets of Vastu on the internet, the direction of various rooms, the ‘facing’ of the home entrance, and so on. Some homebuyers in Home Buyers go to the extent of hiring professional Vastu consultants, and their verdict is cast in stone! The builders are more scared of these self-proclaimed Vastu pundits more than anyone else. The scare of Vastu has been often used to wean away home buyers from being practical and logical. No one wants any harm to their family, and this is the main reason that many homebuyers simply reject a home if there are some Vastu-related defects identified! Examples of how logical and scientific reasons upon which Vastu was originally based-upon are often ignored In the bargain, most home buyers forget to appreciate that over 3000 years ago, Vastu Shastra was propounded as a means to ‘enhance the quality of life, with a focus on two basic elements- ‘sunlight’ and ‘ventilation’. The objective behind all the so-called tenets of Vastu is to lead a comfortable, happy life. Let’s look at the major tenets of Vastu on rooms and their location, and the scientific reasons thereof- Kitchen to the South-East was recommended so that early morning sunlight comes in, and kills all the microbes. Food is cooked in the morning, so more sunlight allows us to see clearly, and cook with comfort Master bedroom was recommended to be in the South-west direction of the plan, and only elderly people were recommended to stay in this room. Again the logic being that sunlight beats hard on this room, and room remains dry. Elders can take heat, but not cold weather. It is healthier to live in a hotter room for elders in the family than the youngsters Let’s face it, none of these things actually matter now if you are living in an apartment. Your kitchen may NOT get morning sunlight at all in an apartment! Similarly, the elders in the home may get a Vastu compliant home, but they end up installing an air-conditioner to cut out the heat. The Vastu proponents 3000 years back never asked for an air-conditioner to be installed. In fact, back then they didn’t even know that after 3000 years, we will have people living in apartments. What’s the right approach to Vastu while buying your 3 BHK flat or bigger ‘apartment’ in Hyderabad? Vastu principles do NOT apply to apartments in its entirety In an apartment complex, you have apartments all around you, and sunlight and ventilation is NOT fully available to you Vastu can apply only on open plots, but even there, sometimes it fails to apply For example, you buy an East-facing plot, and you have high-rise buildings on plots all around you. So, effectively, you DO NOT get sunlight either from East or from West, and your home would always remain under the ‘actual shadow’ of the buildings from morning to 11 am, and from 2pm till night. Here, Vastu principles are completely failed, because you simply don’t have free access to sunlight and uninterrupted breeze As a home buyer, we need to be scientific and logical in our approach, and appreciate the SCIENTIFIC BASIS of Vastu Shastra. Hence, it is prudent to think logically, and if your apartment is making you feel comfortable, you have adequate sunlight (regardless of directions), and the feeling of spaciousness is pronounced, take a practical call. Book an apartment that feels comfortable, offers convenience and gives you natural light and adequate ventilation. Think ‘why’ Sage Mamuni Mayan might have considered while evolving the logic of ‘Vastu Shastra’ over 3000 years back on the art of building temples, palaces, towns, and cities. Sage Mamuni Mayan, Thakkar Pheru, Ramachandra Bhattaraka Kaulachara, and many other proponents certainly did NOT have apartments and flats in mind while they propounded these scientifically based ‘Vastu tenets’. To conclude, Vastu Shastra must NOT be followed as a dogma. Instead, Vastu tenets need to be understood as per their intended scientific reasons for a happier living. To quote Adam Smith, “Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know more about “Rules of Vastu do NOT apply ‘fully’ to apartments- a wise and logical perspective on Vastu for 2/3 BHK home buyers in Hyderabad” Click here

Looking for 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? 7 Expectations in post-COVID era you can’t ignore!
Looking for 3 BHK flat in Hyderabad? 7 Expectations in post-COVID era you can’t ignore! This article deals with the question “What kind of home will I need in the post-COVID era?” Given below are 7 expectations that home buyers have from their homes in cities like Hyderabad. 1. Sunlight, good ventilation and Work-from-home spaces Good sunlight and ventilation are the scientific basis for Vastu. Rather than following Vastu shastra blindly, home buyers will actually see if the needs are being fulfilled with better ventilation, direct sunlight, and pollution-free approach to their apartment Less crowded locations are gaining importance. The hitherto ‘good locations’ situated in crowded areas are being re-looked upon from ‘family-safety’ angle In the post pandemic era, both companies and educational institutions are open to greater flexibility on work-from-home or study-from-home (online) options. While the parents are busy working from home, the students are attending to classes and preparing for Exams and writing them as well from home! Design elements needs to cater to these changed priorities and crying needs of all the family members Efficient use of space becomes a much more critical in the post Pandemic era Efficient and effective designs for your 3 BHK flat is the key where every square inch of available space is put to effective use in making life more liveable and healthy A 2 BHK apartment clearly do NOT measure up to the needs of the family Bedroom, living room should be designed to convert and accommodate workstation areas for all the members of the family 2. Kitchen area to be inviting and more efficient Open kitchens are in vogue with much greater rigour as they give you more space with lesser walls Open kitchen provides for better social connect, and ability to multi-task Kitchen in a post-pandemic scenario is the most flocked area for the family members The pantry of the office is also added to the kitchen area…a space that’s frequently by almost all the family members for munching and drinking something incessantly Hence, the deign-elements need to cater to this need by the builders mostly to 3 BHK flat 3. Privacy considering more time spent at home In the pre-2020 times, the members of the family would pack their lunch boxes and head outside the home Now, the amount of time spent inside the house is more…for all family members Hence, the need for superior designs that offer better privacy, noise-reducing doors and windows are a must Home automation systems also have gained importance, and enable more privacy besides making living a more pleasurable experience 4. Lower bills upon electricity consumption While air-conditioning was NOT much of a priority earlier, but having to work or study from home requires air-conditioning as well as all other electrical gadgets to be far more efficient Lighting, equipment, and fixtures across the home need to be extremely well-planned, and energy efficient to lower the electricity bills The design-element of floor plans of your 3 BHK flat also need to cater to this factor, so that only necessary ports of electricity points are operated to remain within a reasonable budget 5. Space for health and fitness With gymnasiums and outdoor exercise options being limited, home buyers are open to having additional space for fitness The living room designs are also being made to double-up for multi-tasking capabilities Even furniture automation options are being increasingly used to use the space for dual purposes. E.g. the bed could fold-up vertically, and create space for a work-from-home work-station Here again bigger 3 bedroom apartments (upwards of 1600 sft) alone can cater to more space for your family needs. Smaller home just won’t be able to deliver a better quality of life 6. Airy balconies/spaces to breathe easy Being locked inside the house for eternity due to social distancing norms get suffocating This is why open spaces to stretch your legs, walk around the house comfortably, and ability to sit or stand in the balcony comes as a huge respite 7. Lesser focus on shared amenities like gymnasium, swimming pool Common amenities that are used and touched by multiple human beings are increasingly being avoided, or being made ‘contactless’ with the help of technology Gymnasiums, swimming pools, club-houses, beauty-salons, spas, sitting areas, restaurants, cafes, shops etc. within the gated-community complexes are NOT a priority now There is absolutely no point in paying for all the facilities and common amenities that you cannot use Priority is to secure and make common areas like elevators, stairs, security system contactless as possible Touch-free sanitary, bath and kitchen fittings are gaining more importance Anything that lessens human touch is gaining importance Home automation companies are coming-up with innovative technology solutions that are here to stay for eternity Builders who are making adjustments in their layout plans considering the above factors will be able to sell their apartments faster. Standalone apartment buildings are also gaining importance, since what’s inside the home is more important that the external amenities. Your family matters! Gain the right perspective to provide a safe, comfortable abode for your loved ones!!
