How to buy Real Estate in India?

Last updated on: February 1, 2012 at 12:55 am By Desh Kapoor

With so many developers and builders in the real estate market in India, finding the right investment at the right price is always tough. Sometimes, even the experts don’t help. You may be better off doing your own homework. I remember looking at buying a piece of property around 2003 in Gurgaon. It was a commercial real estate and would cost Rs 36 lacs giving rent of around Rs. 30,000 a month. The economies were coming out of the recession.... Read more

Supreme Court to Govt: You have ONLY 4 months to decide on prosecution for Corruption Charges

Last updated on: January 31, 2012 at 10:47 pm By Desh Kapoor

A democracy has special checks and balances. One of the checks is the way one of the three branches of the Government – Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary – can make sure that the country is not been taken apart by the other two working in connivance. In India’s case, Executive and Legislative branches are in cohoots with each other when it comes to corruption. When one looks the the political will and reaction across the spectrum in the Parliament –... Read more

India’s $45 tablet – Aakash – succeeds commercially

Last updated on: January 31, 2012 at 1:46 pm By Desh Kapoor

The low cost tablet from the Indian Government seems to have been a rather unusual success. In just two weeks of the launch, the sales topped 1.4 million units! Now, the tablet is being used by Universities for their unique needs and be provided at a subsidized rate. Work on innovations in India needs to transcend the cost reduction in products, and go to creating newer and useful products that work better for the Indian audience. The University of Mumbai...

DDA Houses Crumbling: Help comes too late, too little

Last updated on: January 31, 2012 at 11:32 am By Desh Kapoor

Rs 10 lakh for 100 houses is pittance. With stairs, roofs, pipes and balconies crumbling, I wonder if this Rs 10 lakh can do much? These houses will be the first ones to crumble in an earthquake, such is their vulnerability. They are virtual coffins. For years poor maintenance of DDA group housing societies has been a sore point with flat owners. Finally, there is a silver lining in the clouds. DDA has decided to pay up for maintenance and...

The richest temple in the world is taking a new lead in another area. It is going Green! A temple which gets 30 to 40 million pilgrims annually, (50k to 100k a day), food is a major project.

Last updated on: January 30, 2012 at 3:52 pm By Desh Kapoor

At least the Zimbabweans are “Embarrassed” with their loss in under 3 days. Indian stars seem unaffected by their complete rout! One test under 3 days, another in under 4 days. Something is completely wrong with the entire cricket structure in India!! Alan Butcher, the Zimbabwe coach, has said his players were embarrassed by their loss inside three days to New Zealand in Napier.

No Bare Bottoms pliss, we are Indians!

Last updated on: January 30, 2012 at 2:57 pm By Desh Kapoor

Not sure why the Film Censor board should be the carrier of morals of Indian adults? Just give it an Adult only rating and let the grown ups be responsible for their libido or lack of it. Someone saying that bare bottoms and bare breasts are unacceptable for Indian audience is all nonsense. I am not advocating for such movies but if there is a movie like this and there is an audience for it, then so be it. Who... Read more

Starbucks signs JV with Tatas for Starbucks cafes in India

Last updated on: January 30, 2012 at 2:52 pm By Desh Kapoor

With so many indigenous cafe chains, will Starbucks make a difference? Heck, yes!! If you have been to a Cafe Coffee Day or others, you will see how it takes ages to get a simple coffee to you. Although it comes with the nice cup and all, but its taste isn’t all that better than say of a Starbucks. The Indian chains will be caught offguard because they do NOT have the processes to handle fast moving traffic. They will... Read more
