An idea to think about…

The day before yesterday, I talked about a movie I watched… Today’s email is about the same topic. Which is related to a movie but in a different way. If you regularly read my emails, you might notice some changes we made at home, which helped us. Recently, we disconnected the DTH connection, and now we completely rely on the Internet, YouTube, and OTT apps for entertainment in my home....

A good family entertainment

I’m writing this email after watching a Tamil movie in Kannada language on Amazon Prime Video. An OTT app which I recently subscribed to watch movies… After subscribing, every week, all our family members sit in our first building hall and watch movies together. Sitting with all family members and spending time together is a really good feeling. Earlier, it was not like that. It’s just parents who used to watch regular dish TV channels and movies, which are always filled with plenty of Ads....

If you are buying my products from ads, read this

Yesterday, a buyer emailed me to ask about the product he paid for but has not yet received. I searched his email in my email system to see what product he had purchased. I noticed 3 products he bought, and he is also on my email list for quite a few days. I believe this user is buying only from some offers that I make on running ads on Facebook....

How to Spend More and Make Building Look Old

We went to ask about cot pricing for our rental unit a few days back. I noticed a construction building… The building installed a Granite Wall Cladding all over it. Do you know how it looks? BORING. Like an old building look. Granite is good for flooring work, not for wall cladding work. It won’t look good. I recommend using 2 by 4 Double glazing Tiles for wall cladding for a premium look....

A building collapsed in Bangalore

I hope you have already come across the building collapse news in Bangalore today. After seeing the building falling clip and images, I noticed it’s mostly foundation and pillars fault. If you properly notice the pillars on that building, only a few can be seen there. And the pillars size? Too small for a G+3+2 building. Who is to blame? Engineer or Owner or Contractor? In this case, it seems the owner is at fault....

Using cotton mattress? here's a better alternative

Today, as soon as I woke, I got a different energy to start working on my new “Rental Property Guide” guide. This is a guide I’m writing for someone who is planning to start house construction with rental properties in it. After managing 16-door rental units, I’m dumping all my knowledge on this guide. I’m not sure when I’m going to release it. It will come soon. Ok… Today, one of our tenants (a student) asked me to collect his mattress as he won’t be available....

The struggle that I witnessed during rain

Today and yesterday, near my home, there were a two functions. You might already be aware of the rain conditions currently in Bangalore. For the past few days, it has been raining heavily. Both their functions are already scheduled. I got to witness owners struggle in making arrangements for the function. For one function, they arranged a dinner facility inside the parking area. They kept all the other tables outside the gate, using only 4....

If you think a contractor agreement will be fine… think again

All experienced contractors know where the difference between owners and contractors comes from. Because they have already built at least a few houses. When you ask them to bring a building contract agreement, they bring the agreement, which is important to safeguard their interest. Not the owner’s interest. Most new users planning to start construction don’t know about those insider construction points that must be included in the agreement. So, to make their job easier, they go with the whatever the contractor bought agreement and deal done....
