A Realtor's Snack Pot - Arihant's Ashiana at Govindapuram, Maraimalai Nagar - Some Points to make

The Project is located at a distance of around 6 kilometres from the main junction of Singaperumal Koil. Villa Viviana and Ashiana are the two projects developed within the same campus.


Ashiana is under construction now and it is specially focused to facilitate senior citizens. Villa Viviana caters to all cadres of customers.

There is an excellent garden inside the campus, which adds aesthetics to the project.With an inbuilt clubhouse, gym and indoor play areas, the project itself appreciates the locality.

There are many CCTV cameras installed at all the vital locations inside the campus for security purpose.



The developers have used a different approach for the water supply in this project. In this project, there are no overhead water tanks in any of the villas or the apartments on their terrace.

 The water is pumped to a common water tank and from there it is supplied to all the villas and apartments.




  The developer also sells vacant lands within the campus to customers based on requirements. So, those who are ready to invest now and build in a later phase can also make a choice for this project.

 As the project is away from the mainline traffic of the Theni-Chennai Highway, there is no noise environment in this project. The place is filled with calmness everywhere. This shall be an excellent choice for buyers who work in the localities like Tambaram, Mahindra world city and even the Companies in Old Mahabalipuram Road and East Coast Road.

A Coffee Cup for a Realtor as well as a Property Valuer - Methodology to Arrive the Rate for a Resale Apartment

A Coffee Cup for a Realtor as well as a Property Valuer - Methodology to Arrive the Rate for a Resale Apartment

The Aim of this article :

                 Generally, while reselling an apartment in a metropolitan city or a cosmopolitan city, the sellers quote a price and they are doubtful about their own rate quote. This article aims to throw light on the traditional method of obtaining the rate/sq.ft by professional valuers.


I shall explain the same concept with a practical example.


A customer X is having an apartment at Avadi. The age of the building is around 7 years. The super built-up area of the apartment is around 1240 sq.ft.


The first step to get done is to measure the carpet area of the apartment. This shall be done by taking the measurements of each room (wall to wall - inner length and width).

Then the internal area of each room is obtained by multiplying the length and width.

The next step would be to add all the inner carpet areas of each room to achieve the total carpet area of the flat.


The loading of (the common areas + wall thickness) = Super built up area / Total Carpet area


This loading shall be in the range of 20 to 35%, which is considered as a normal loading.


If it is more than 35%, then the case should get analysed as of why so?


So, for a flat of 1240 sq.ft,


For 35% loading, 1.35 = 1240/carpet area

hence, carpet area = 1240/1.35

                              = 918.51 sq.ft

For 20% loading, 1.20 =1240/carpet area

                 So, carpet area = 1240/1.20

                                          = 1033.33 sq.ft

Hence, here I am arriving at the tentative carpet area, even without measuring the apartment.

Now, we can go and measure it at the site and check the carpet area. If the carpet area is in the range of 918 sq.ft to 1033 sq.ft, then it is a normal loading.

i.e., we can say that the builder is genuine in giving the facility as offered in the document.


Now, we shall look into the rate part.

I shall take a rate feedback of minimum 3 projects which are brand new in that same locality.

If we are able to find a flat promoter of the same potential as that of our flat to get evaluated, then one feedback is also enough.

Here I can say that the potential can depend on the factors such as the flat interiors, type of flooring, lift facility, car park type and other special amenities.


So, In this case, I took the rate offered by the flat promoter of the same potential. The rate was Rs. 3800/sq.ft.


Depreciation for a resale flat is generally 1.5% per year.


So, 3800 x 1.5 /100 = 57

and for 7 years, the depreciation would be = 57 x 7

                                                                    = 399

Now, this 399 Rupees should be deducted from 3800 = 3800 -399

                                                                                      = 3401

Hence the flat rate would be = 1240 x 3401

                                              = Rs.4217240

                                              = Rs. 42 lakhs


This is the simple method to evaluate the depreciated rate while reselling a flat.

Sri Ramana Ashram In Tiruvannamalai

                                         Sri  Ramana Ashram In Tiruvannamalai

At the foot Hills of Tiruvannamalai, stands the Iconic Sri Ramana Ashram. Anyone who visits Tiruvannamalai shall not miss this place.

One of the best Spiritual Masters of Our Time, Sage Ramana Maharishi had lived here.

He was a self-enlightened Sage and he did not have any direct gurus for him to receive spirituality. Enlightenment happened to him when he experienced a challenge towards death at the age of 16.

Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharishi practised Silence. Silence as a tool for knowledge.

In one of the caves known as Virupaksha Cave, Sri Ramana spent almost 17 years.

There is no preaching of any particular belief or spiritual practices given here in the Ashram.

The silence in and around the space of the Ashram will make anyone dwell into a great meditative experience.




There are many lodges and stay areas in the nearest vicinity of the Ashram. Tourists can make use of those stay areas while they are visiting the Ashram and Tiruvannamalai.


It was said that Sri Ramana Maharishi was suffering from cancer in his last days. Yet, he did not have any pain, because he was in such a state(Anandamaya kosam) that no pain can imbibe him.


Those who enter this Ashram are receiving the grace of Sri Ramana Maharishi either directly or indirectly.

Few minutes around the streets of Tiruvannamalai

                      Few minutes around the streets of Tiruvannamalai

After so long, I was just wandering around the streets of Tiruvannamalai.
I thought of sharing some pictures in this blog.
The above picture is that of beggar who is sitting exactly before the temple. The picture itself shall depict the story of the beggar and I think I need not explain more.

Some more beggars sit in the nearest vicinity of the temple and do their daily begging activities.Our Kalabhairava - the dog is walking around them and it is also looking for food.

A Beggar who is unable to walk, is crossing the road on his own without any help. The traffic on the road is flowing in a seamless manner and he is managing himself to cross the road.

The car of the Tiruvannamalai Temple. Lord Arunachaleswara uses this car to maneuver the streets of Tiruvannamalai during festival times.

Fancy stores around the temple are found here in many numbers.

There is a parking area, where the travelers can park their cars and bikes before the temple.

Lord Shiva has given place even for the non living cars, but the beggars are not given good shelter and food to live.
People living in Tiruvannamalai are good at wealth, but care has not been taken for the very few beggars around the temple.

Egmore Railway Station - People Pay their Violation Penalties on a Routine basis

Egmore Railway Station - People Pay their Violation Penalties on a Routine basis

15/07/2018, Egmore, Chennai

Evening 4 O clock to 5 O clock will be the best time to see a huge flock of the crowd standing before the Egmore railway station's magistrate court.


They are the people who got charged with penalties of violations like No Parking, Spitting in Station premises, Traveling in footboard,etc.,



Every day we can see around 200 to 300 people waiting for long hours to pay their penalties. Some of them wait from morning 4 O clock to evening 5 O clock to pay their penalty.



This is one case scenario of the place.



The other aspect is that the Railway official keeps spending their time in filling hundreds of charge-sheets during the afternoon sessions on a daily basis.

It has become like a routine activity to them.


Hence their Karma is just cycling like the same for many months. Hence everyone needs a break from this Karmic Cycle. Their eyes are filled with an anxiety that," Won't we see a day of no penalty? Won't there be a clean Railway Station?"


Suggestions to Avoid These scenarios :


1. The doorways of all the trains shall be kept closed all the time, apart from station locations, when they arrive and depart.


2. Many countries have incorporated "Fully enclosed platform edge screen doors" which can be implemented in our country also, considering the safety of the passengers.


3. Regarding the No parking penalties, the station authorities shall provide proper barricades at the entry points of the "No Parking" zones.


4. In case of "Spitting", it is the responsibility of each and every citizen that he shall not spit in public locations.
