An Appeal from Bush, President of the USA

Hi,

This is an Appeal from the President of the USA, George W. Bush. Mr. Bush is facing a grave situation, where the Americans are going hungry due to the food price rises. The reason for the same is that the huge Middle class population of India is eating more:)

This appeal is to all Indian's to partake one handful less when they have their next meal. Remember, that for more you eat (or waste) there is a hungry American somewhere in Texas, or Arkansas, or Detroit, or maybe in the White House itself...

Next time, you waste food or eat more, remember the hungry American.

"Uncle Sam Needs your Food"

S/d - George W Bush
President of the United States of America
White House
Washington D.C.

Please pass this link to as many friends (Indians) you know

Cheers

House Hunting in Delhi - Helpful tips

I have been transferred to Delhi; and will report into Delhi Office from May first week..

The last two weeks I have spent most of the time, searching for a place in Delhi, that fits my requirements and most importantly, my budget. The rent in Delhi have sky rocketed, since my last sojourn (in terms of house hunting) here in 2002... Places considered far and not worthy are today prime localities for stay (i mean, NOIDA, Dwaraka, Vasant Kunj, etc)

Well, this time of the year, happens to be wrong time to search for a house in Delhi... hey, but the 'brighter side' (other than the sun:)) is that it cannot go any worse than now..

Here are some helpful tips for people searching for a house in Delhi -

1) Check online for the properties available... you may not find many owner requests, but you surely will find a whole lot of property agents database -
Check out sites like

indiaproperty.com
99acres.com
magicbricks.com
indiaproperties.com
sulekha.com
makaan.com

2) Check the local classifieds that comes during the weekends in Hindustan Times and Times of India

3) Call the agents and be very specific on your requirement (locality) and also on your budget

4) If you are looking at a flat - always prefer the floors in between... DO NOT take anything on the top floor or ground floor (until or unless it is necessary). You will thank me during peak summers and winters :)

5)Check on the water situation... the whole of Delhi has water scarcity problem.. check on the back up storage tanks - its capacity, and the number of motors and the power of the motors. The best thing is to check out if the neighbours have any plants, and if they are watered or not :)

6) Power outage is frequent in Delhi... check if they have back-up or if an inverter would be provided

7) Check for the minimum cupboards in the flats - most of them do not have any

8) Always speak to the owners as soon as possible... the agents would always tell higher price for their own benefit

9) Pitch the agents amongst themselves, by saying that someone else have shown you similar flat for less amount, etc

10) have a proper lease agreement signed before hand

11) Pray - for miracles can happen :)


My search is still on...

Cheers
