My dream city

-



Home is everyone's  dream...in fact whose isn't?  Its usually a childhood dream to build a beautiful house called 'home' when we grow up. But buying a home is not like buying clothes. Real estate shopping requires immense planning as well as investment. Investment is in terms of money as well as brains. A home is where millions of aspirations and dreams are formed. So before I buy my own home, I would like to do a little bit of research.


I stumbled across few sites. Check out Olympeo.com. Its your destination to your dream home.

I have lived in so many places till now. Born in Varanasi, education from Lucknow, worked in Meerut and Muzzaffarnagar and finally landed in Delhi. Its been seven years that I am here in Delhi. But tht does not mean I would like to end up here. Delhi is the city of  chaos, traffic jams and pollution. I would definitely not want m kids to inhale polluted air. Today so many smart cities have come up that redefine the standard of living. Cities like Jaipur, Ahmedabad, etc have taken luxury to a new level. I just visited Jaipur a few months back and became completely smitten with it.
Jaipur is no longer just the cit of Rajputs and forts. Skyscrapers have erupted like never before, swanky malls with the latest of international brands have come up and of course wide and clean roads. Can you name a single thing that these smart cities don't have which the metros boast of?
With standard of living reaching new heights and money pouring freely, one does not miss the posh crowd too. Its not unusual to spot well groomed ladies flaunt their designer labels or men driving their Porsche and Jaguars.
These smart cities have become the new hub of modern architecture and luxurious living. From high end boutique apartments to stand alone bungalows, these cities are redefining real estate. The offices are swanky and so are the shopping malls. Five star Hotels are omnipresent throughout the cit and that reflects how luxury is an integral part of these smart cities. I definitely plan on buying real estate in one such smart city.

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the ci...

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind ...

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT TO AMSTERDAM How to reach to the city center from Airport is always a big question while travelling. By far car/taxi is the easiest and most convenient form. But it’s costly, if you are travelling solo or as a couple. There is no harm to save few bugs but yes, comfort is always a priority. Public transport in Amsterdam is very convenient, fast and comfortable.   Shciphol is world’s 14 th largest airport situated 22 Km south of Amsterdam city center. It’s well connected to the city center and nearby places by bus train and taxi. By taxi : The maximum start price of taxi car is near about 2.83 euro, with travel rate of 2.08 euro per km and travel time cost 0.34 euro per minute. So expect a cost between 45 Euros to 60 Euros from shciphol airport to the city center, depending on your location. You can need taxi especially at late night, when the trams stop functioning. The taxi stand is located just outside of airport arrival...
