03-RENT AND AGREEMENT TUSSLE – MUMBAI.

Mumbai, The City of Dreams. The place where you will find skyscrapers touching the sky and the largest slums of India, Dharavi, all under the same sky.

As compared to any other metro city, searching an accommodation in Mumbai, is a big task and finding an economical and decent place to stay, seems like an impossible task.

So, I am sharing some tips which might help you, if you are new in Mumbai or going to shift in Mumbai, so that you don’t have to go through all the ups and downs, which I faced while hunting for a house.

There are a few website’s and Facebook pages which won’t cost you a penny, and you can use to search a decent accommodation.

1. No Broker.in

2. Sulekha.com.

3. Flat and Flatmate’s Mumbai Chapter.

4. Flat and Flat mate’s Andheri.

These sites and pages will help you to find a flat or maybe even a roommate.

Once you are done finding a place, you have to give a large chunk of deposit which is a must thing, Deposit is the amount which we pay to the owner as security. He keeps the amount with him and returns it back, when we move out of his rented property.

So, you can try and bargain with the owner to lower the amount perhaps, by giving genuine reasons which some generous landlords do understand and may decrease the deposit amount.

Agreement- Leave and License Agreement.

Just like any other city where there aren’t any proper laws which are set by government for Tenant and Owners, In Mumbai it’s different. You must sign some legal documents, and if your owner is good enough, you don’t have to deal with all the paperwork and Court rounds.

But if landlord isn’t helping enough, then you must prepare all the documents, scan all the copies with the signature, leave and license agreement, pay for the Stamp, Consult a lawyer. Who pretends likes he is going to help you, but instead he is just trying to make some quick money? Though not all lawyers are like that.

The easiest way to get your leave and license agreement done is by using online platforms like nobroker.in or magicbricks.in where they actually do all the work at additional costs.

Or you can, actually go to the nearby court, buy a stamp – A100 Rs stamp will work, because  the agreement should be printed on a Stamp paper of minimum value of Rs.100 or 200/-. Stamp duty is 1% of the total rent, according to the Lawyer.

Things to remember.

1. Always read and sign the documents carefully.

2. Add a clause in which you can mention or specify, how much amount of money you paid to the owner as a deposit, and you are liable to get it once your rental period is over.

3. Take a help of a lawyer or legal adviser before giving a large chunk of money as a deposit without any paperwork.

Happy House Hunting

02 – FIRE SAFETY AND US.

We all heard about, The tragic accident which took place in Surat. It show’s how easily we ignore fire safety measures and how we suffered every time when The fire outbreak.

Authorities give permission to construct high-rise buildings,without even checking fire safety measures in Hotels, Coaching Institutes, School or Colleges. Parent’s can deposit hefty amount of money just for the sake of their children’s future but they can not ask to authorities that, Are they prepared for any emergency? Are they prepared for the worst case scenario.

In Abroad, It’s mandatory for every newly constructed building to appoint a fire safety officer, Who can check all the fire safety equipments timely. Who can plan and execute the evacuation plan at the time of emergency or fire outbreak.

Some precaution or safety measures. We should take at the time of any Fire Outbreak or If you’re trapped in fire-

  • First things first, like any survival situation, Stay cool so you can give yourself and your family the best chance of survival.
  • Close all the door and put clothes or Wet towels along the bottom of the door to stop smoke getting in.
  • Always use stairs at the time of any fire outbreak. Avoid using LIFT.
  • Keep calling the fire department or emergency numbers and Keep updating them about your situation.
  • During fire smoke rise. Best thing to do at this time is to stay close to the ground. STAY LOW.
  • Grab a cloth and run it under cold water and wrap it around your mouth and nose. It will help to filter the air you are forced to breath, Because most of the time people get panic and exhale the air which is injurious.

Fire Prevention Is Everybody’s Job. Fire Prevention Is Everybody’s Job.

Powerless NOTA.

NOTA or ‘None of the Above‘ has been provided as an option to the voters of India in most elections. 

In India elections are started, So does the campaigning. Every candidate doing there best to please the people who have the power to vote, but what if the candidate haven’t done anything for the people, He is a goon or a criminal, Who just influenced the political party and got the ticket to stand for the election.

This kind of candidates most likely to do nothing for the constituency. So, what to do? When you want to vote. But you aren’t happy with the candidates or they aren’t worthy enough to vote.

That’s were NOTA comes to the rescue, when you don’t want to choose any candidate but you still want to use your power of vote, Go for NOTA. Although, it hardly make’s a difference as NOTA votes doesn’t count. Still it gives a strong message to the candidate and political party, That public is aware and not gonna entertain every clown, who is good for nothing.

Terrorism & Tourism.

Terrorist organizations growing rapidly all over the globe. Countries like USA, INDIA, AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, IRAN, GERMANY etc. Are majorly affected by Terrorism.

Tourism provide large amount of Revenue generation for most of the countries, where tourists come to visit for vacations or leisure trip, But due to Terrorism, Tourism business is going downhill.

Terrorism activities not only affect the 5 star hotels, but each and every local vendor who’s only source of income comes from tourist who visit the place. Kashmir which is suffering from pakistan sponsored terrorism since ages, Where the locals only get money to survive from tourists who used to visit valley, But ever since the Terrorist incidents started destroying the valley’s peace. Tourists stopped visiting the valley as no one want to visit a place where theirs or their’s family’s life won’t be safe.

It take years to, Revamp the image of the city or country infront of tourists, To make sure they start visiting again. One major incident can ruin not only the effort of government but also the local people who earn their livelihood through tourists, They have to earn most of it in peak time of tourist arrival so they can manage to survive, When their are no visitors.

 The continuous growth of the worldwide tourism business has a strong contribution on the development of economic growth of the country, But once in a while some incidents make situations worse.

Many countries are facing terrorism attacks. They try to solve the problem, Only solution is Co-operation and mutual understanding are today needed to increase the economy. Development, suitability. Exchanging vital information between the countries to prevent the terrorist attacks, Working together to make this world a better place, Instead of just condemning the attacks.

United we stand, Divide we fall.

Those were the days.

Summer is here as well as the summer vacations too. Exams are over and results are going to be out soon of Board exams. Some Students are thinking about their destiny, Which subject to choose after 10th or what to after 12th.

While some Students are thinking about the destination, where to go and what to do in this summer vacations. Though, Only the 90’s kid knows, what real summer vacation is when there was no internet connection, no gaming console, no pc and most of us didn’t have a TV set too.

Back in those days. The only place which is best to go is Grand Ma’s home. That’s the only destination most kid’s can afford.

We have actually used to play The games, which are extinct for this generation. Game’s like-

  • Snake and Ladder (Saanp seedhi)
  • Astha,Changa,Chauk,Chang.
  • Gilli danda.
  • Sitoliya.
  • 3,2,5 (Card game)
  • Gulaam chor. (Card Game)
  • Ice water.
  • Hide and seek.

Uncountable games, some are invented by our ancestors, some are existed since the Mythological Era of Ramayan and Mahabharat, Game like Chausar. Today’s generation may have various fancy gadget’s, Unlimited Internet, Applications, Mobile games Like PUBG, CLASH OF TITANS etc but, I still feel those games which played in my childhood are much more entertaining, Those games didn’t make us Malevolence or They didn’t make us depressed as now a days some games do making teenagers dull and Desolate.

There was no cell phone, no I-pod, or I-pad. Old radio or transistor, was enough to keep us amused. There weren’t 100 of channels on television to switch to if you are bored with one, There were only one channel, DOORDARSHAN only channel with wide content of everyone Mythological serials like Ramayan, Mahabharat for our grandparents and parents, Shows like Shaktimaan, Chitrahar for kids.

So enjoy your childhood and Create a lot of memories as much as you can, because memories last forever.

Don’t Grow Up, It’s A TRAP.

Fake News & Voting.

We all know what news is but, Now we just started to grabbing the truth about, What Fake News is A Story, Article, or any form of News which is created Deliberately to deceive people.

Use of Social Media Sites like FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp etc, are Increasing, So as the fake News which is Getting viral within seconds, Without any authentication on social media.

Social Media is a Bane or Boon. Well, this is the topic is of some other day.

Report’s has been circulating from few years, Fake News is changing the game of politics and Changing voters perspective too as it did in USA and Russia.

As Election Session is going on India too and Major population of india is widely using social media sites like FaceBook, Twitter and Whatsapp, Thanks to Cheap Internet plans.

Rampant information has been produced and getting share and viral via whatsapp without any authentication. People tend to believe what they read or hear on social media, This is a huge concern because not every one is sensible and Literate enough to Understand and they share and spread the content, which might create Inappropriate circumstances, which they aren’t aware of either.

Some cunning people are taking advantage of Social Media sites and spreading Fake News, stories and content. Manipulating political speech and spiel of Political Leaders to gain votes.

Fake News will be a game changer or not, That debate is still going on in as it does impacted voters and election in USA, It does changing election scenario in India too.

Few incidents of Communal Violence also has been reported because of Fake News, Although tech companies took few steps to Stop the spread of Fake News, As Twitter did by blocking the accounts of the people who spread Fake News, Whatsapp restricted people to sharing anything on whatsapp maximum to five people’s at a time, Instead of Bulk sharing option, but a lot they have to do as Few steps aren’t enough.

As it was Actually A Modi Wave working in 2014, Favour of Narendra Modi. There is no wave in 2019, The opposition who was dull and divided back then is now United and

In India voters actually tend back and forth between the major parties depending on the candidates and the issues of the day. So. even the Major Surveys are highly Unpredictable.

Planet or Plastic.

Planet or plastic campaign is, Launched by National Geographic Channel. In order to draw attention of all the people & to raise awareness who are still not aware, How plastic is damaging our environment, water bodies and everything.

We can’t throw anything and think that it will eventually go somewhere, like we are doing with plastic, which isn’t going anywhere instead of that, We are just polluting our earth and water bodies.

India World Cup Squad – Let The Game Begin.

India, is the only country where cricket is being treated as a Religion. All of us wanted to become a cricketer in our childhood day’s, That’s the dream we all hoped for, so that’s why we feel so connected with it.

2019 World cup is here, so us our hope to win it again, as we did in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev and in 2011 under the captaincy of M.S Dhoni.This time Virat Kohli has to do the job.

The team for World Cup 2019 has been announced, Here is the squad chosen to represent India-
Virat Kohli (Capt), Rohit Sharma (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Vijay Shankar, MSD (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohd Shami.

Rishabh Pant and Ambati Rayudu the most expected player’s who are going to get selected for WC 2019 dropped.

According to Chief Selector MSK Prasad-


On Pant: “Definitely a case where we debated at length. We all were in unison that either pant or DK will come in only when Mahi is injured. In an important game wicket keeping is also important. That’s the reason we went with Dinesh Karthik”.

So, Because of better wicket keeping skill’s, Dinesh Karthik is in instead of Rishabh Pant, Who did drop few catches behind the stump in crucial matches which cost him and for Rayudu, The Chief Selector explain that-


“After the Champions Trophy, we tried quite a few people [at No.4]. We gave a few more chances to Rayudu. What Vijay Shankar brings is three dimensional. We are looking at him at no. 4 to beg

Ambati Rayudu who was the favorite and most backed by the Captain Virat Kohli himself is, out of the team, Hard Luck. All in all it’s a balanced side, Also Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina fan’s are sad too they were hoping that their favorites may get a call from selectors but Unfortuantely, Road for World Cup end here for Ambati Rayudu, Rishabh Pant, Yuvraj Singh & Suresh Raina.
