It’s time to gain the blessings of Goddess Kali, Lord Ganpati & Goddess Laxmi; it’s time pamper own taste buds with ‘Mithai-s’ & ‘Gulab Jamun-s’ & it’s time to deck up your Kolkata apartment with those fairly light strips & decorative tea lights

 

And why? Because Diwali is coming!

 

But, this year the spirit of celebration won’t be full-fledged, right? For the pandemic is persisting.

Just like this fact is true, there also stay

 

5 Top Tips For A Safer & Joyful Diwali

 

#1) Highlight The Hygiene

 

A must, if you want to have a safe diwali in real-time.

 

Request every visiting guest & neighbor to keep their mask on & arrange the furniture in your living room or hall in a style, which allows in keeping a minimum distance between everyone seated.

 

Let not one particular space get crowded & plan for seating arrangements in the dining area & balcony as well.

 

Yes, you may have to hire some chairs, but isn’t it better than cutting-off dear ones from the Diwali party guest list?

Also, keep a bottle of sanitizer handy at each seating zone & apply it on own hands, every time you go to check on guests there – thereby making them conscious of using it.

 

One more thing:

Try serving food & drinks by only disposable cups, dishes, glasses & cutlery & keep ample extras to use, thus ruling out the possibility of one guest using another’s used dish/cup & getting contaminated.

 

#2 Decorate With A Desi Flavor

 

Smoke from flavored candles & gas from the led strips are prone to affect people with breathing problems & lung ailments & thus making them vulnerable to the Corona Virus.

 

Surely you can’t remember who amongst the guests is having such an issue.

Therefore, it’s better to avoid the electrical & fancy light decors & switch to mud-made Diyas & cotton wicks to light them up.

 

No gas, no smoke – but only pure beauty to enkindle your Apartment in Kolkata. Along with a flood of appreciation from guests!

 

Simply Google for our Desi Diyas & get amazed by the unique designs & pattern options you will get to choose from.

 

#3 Crackers …But Eco-Friendly Ones

 

Just like the electric lighting, fire-crackers too are harmful – not only for people with problems but also for all of us.

 

The carbon & vapor particles released from the bursting of crackers essentially act as a triggering agent of asthma & bronchitis – even in perfectly healthy people. And this, concerning the present pandemic, can result dangerous.

 

Therein, try making a shift to Seed Crackers, which may not bring you the mirth of bursting crackers, but promise to cater the joy of growing plants!

 

#4 If Participating In Group Activities

 

Be cautious to:

»Wear a mask always (no excuse for pictures, please)

»Maintain at least a 1-meter distance, whether making Rangoli with others or bursting crackers in housing society’s grounds

»Carry, not a sanitizer, but paper soaps & water in place of fire-crackers. Alcohol can’t get in contact with fire, remember?

 

#5 Gift Health

 

Clothes, perfumes, sweets, jewelry – you have given them a lot & every year.

 

This year take a different approach & present a near one with health insurance. Attempt to get especially for one or more senior family members, who can’t get one for them.

 

Trust, it will make you the best gift-giver ever!

 

Easy to pursue guidelines for deepavali safety, isn’t so? Then wait no more to make the necessary preparations for them.

And, if planning for becoming a home-owner this Diwali, do remember we are only a click away.

5 Essential Facilities For Each Housing Society To Have

 

#1 Up-To-Date Security System

A Safe & Delightful Durga Puja: 4 Crisp Tips For You Only

Whether to spend the 5 days at own Newtown apartment or go out to cherish the pujo vibes in Pandals & decorated streets? As Durga Puja 2021 arrives is this the exact question in your mind? That is because our city & the country is not yet free from the CoronaVirus?

And you have concluded that there remains no scope to freely enjoy the 5 days.

But, that’s not the real picture. Since here emerges:

4 Exclusive Tips To Perfectly Enjoy Pujo During Pandemic

 

#1) Get Smart With Pandal Hopping

 

Thinking what’s that? Well, the new normal trend of going online. Simply search Virtual Durga Puja on your PC or phone & gain access to 360 degree views of the celebrated Pujo Pandals & real-life imagery of the Goddess, while staying safely inside.

Given the present situation, some famous Kolkata Pujo Committees have also started organizing the facilities of Virtual Anjali & Bhog Booking from last year. Just Google these words & let every bit of Maa Durga’s blessings reach you & your family –dissolving thus the anxiety of illness.

 

#2) Cherish Some Classics

 

When was the last time you got time to watch/re-watch one classic Bengali film or read an old-but-gold Bangla Boi? Finding it hard to remember?

Then, make this Durga Puja the time to relive the Bangaliana inherent to you:

Explore the book collection of your parents or ask them for titles to find in e-book formats

Visit the one or two Bengali-content exclusive OTT platforms or dig Youtube to access some jewels of Black & White Bangla cinemas; gather all the family members & and experience a unique Pujo-Only joy!

Here come some delightful suggestions to unwind the mind during Durga Puja:

 » Bari Theke Paliye (Director Ritwik Ghatak)

 » Pratham Alo, Part 1&2 (Author Sunil Ganguli

 » Dhanni Meye (Director Arabinda Mukhopadhyay)

 » Parosuram Galposamogro (Author Rajsekhar Basu)

(The channel also shows Live Telecast of Pujo Rituals from in & around Bengal’s famous religious institutions & families. So that’s one bonus point for you!)

 

#3) Healthy Tickle For Taste Buds

 

Yes, visiting a restaurant or cafe is still somewhat unsafe. But that does not mean you & family have to ‘adjust’ with the same daily menu, even during the Pujo.

You can’t visit the restaurant, but the delicacies can very well come to your & all apartments in Newtown. Visit a reputed online food delivery platform (one you know to maintain the hygiene protocols) & order whatever the palate is craving for.

From mocktails to mistis & sukto to schezwan dishes – restaurants & cafeterias of every genre are presently serving through the digital platform. And even Chais of various flavors.

#4) If Going Out

 

Follow these rules as musts:

 » Avoid time slots when there is crowd in the streets & around Pandals

 » Do not open your mask while outside & tell those with you to do the same (Yes, even during taking a selfie or groupfie!)

 » Maintain the footmarks at public places & stay within those

 » It’s better to not consume junk foods for this one Pujo

 » Sanitize hands every time you touch the cab’s doors or bus handles

The Checklist Of Essentials Before Moving In To Your First Apartment

Is this life’s that delightful phase when you get ready to take possession of own Kolkata Apartment

 

And, surely you wish for a smooth beginning of life for you & each family member at the new apartment

 

Then draw own mind towards:

List Of Necessities In A New Home As Voted By Every Home Expert

 

#1) Secure The Safety

 

One prime aspect to guarantee right after moving in. Because within the fresh happiness of living at own home, any break-in or burglary is the last issue you or any family member will be willing to experience, right?

So, if a smart or electronic lock system isn’t fitting your budget presently, hit the lock & key market & get a quality lock & deadbolt for the entrance door. 

(Stay confident. You will upgrade in near future.)

But do not compromise with the lock’s quality.

Saving a few hundreds here can lead to losing valuables worth much more from home any day. 

Therefore, go only for reputed brands in the market, which make trespassers shed sweat in breaking a door’s deadbolt!

 

#2) In The Name of Health

 

Have a medicine kit ready-at- hand prior to stepping into your first home.

Since a change of place & environment tend to affect the health of people – mainly the kids. Prepare a box including:

Standard medicines for cough & cold & digestive problems

Ointments & lotions preventing skin allergies

Waterproof bandages

Antiseptic liquids & creams

& realizing the present pandemic situation-

2 bottles of hand sanitizer & surface disinfectant spray each

Surely, purchasing all these from a general brick-&-mortar store will cost you much.

So, browse any popular pharmacy website & check for their offers. Sometimes, purchasing in bulk can make you save real good at such sites.

 

#3) Some Tools To Start With

 

Face the reality. It takes months to completely familiarize the neighborhoods surrounding Apartments in Kolkata.

Thus, don’t expect ready availability of a pro handyman from the new locality, whenever any drilling or DIY-style installation need come up at the apartment.

You may end up with an amateur one or paying way more than is the charge for a certain work. Avoid such confusions by readying up your customized tool box with:

 » A hand driller (You Tube is there to guide, right?)

 » 2-4 screw drivers of flat & Philips head

 » A handful of screws

 » Measuring tape & good quality hammer

 » 2-3 extension cords

 » A sleek but sturdy metal ladder

To gain a good bargain over these, get down either to the wholesale hardware market in city or start exploring Amazon. It’s the discount season in there!

 

#4) For the Sake of Basic Convenience

 

Put together in one of your moving boxes:

Quite a few light bulbs (dark corners in your new home will not appear welcoming, will it?)

Door mats & area rugs with anti-skid padding – because yes the kids will run around & so will you while acquainting the new place & setting it up

Towel Stand for both the bathroom & faucet

Plenty of kitchen wipes to prevent the tiles & granite getting dirty at the earliest

1-2 bottles of glass & surface cleaners & one mop with good threads- hiring help won’t happen soon in a new neighborhood

 

# And Wait…

 

While shopping for essential items, get 1 or 2 indoor plants like English Ivy, Bamboo Palm or Peace Lily, to thus freshen up the happy air of your happy home!

Wishing you & family a pleasant life ahead.
