Preventive Maintenance is Essential for a Healthy Society

With the growing population in the country, the need for homes has also increased over a period of time. The growing demand however needs to be matched up with as much awareness about various things that should be kept in mind before buying a house. I remember when I was on the lookout to move into a bigger house, my father and husband were making sure to inquire about various things related to the age of the building, the waterproofing plans, time intervals in between structural repairs and what systems and processes the society is following in terms of drainage, cleanliness and maintenance. Knowing all these things about the society was important so that we could make the right decision, as I totally believe that preventive maintenance is essential for the existence of a healthy society.

The Happy Homes Blog - your destination for building a dream home!

It's only been two and a half years that I've spent in my current home, and the issues have already started to set in. Tiny cracks here and there, and dampness in certain sections of the wall have made me start to think about repairs and renovations which the house needs urgently, since I have a toddler in the house who is trying her best to pull out all the peeling scraps. The research for the same began a couple of months ago but because of Aryaa being around, there are no corners being cut in terms of understanding what all needs to be done as I want nothing but the best being used and done for the corrections to be made. In the midst of all this, the top home maintenance brands of Pidilite Industries Ltd, Dr. Fixit and Roff  invited me for the launch of ‘The Happy Homes Blog’ - http://thehappyhomes.co.in/ last month, the perfect reference guide for people like me to renovate, build and maintain their home.

The ideal way of giving! #ShramDaanDay

Bill Gates, Azim Premji, Mark Zuckerberg - what do they all have in common? Other than being industry leaders and very successful entrepreneurs, they all have committed to provide funds for causes that will make our world a better place. But then these are uber rich men and the practice of the rich and powerful providing support or ‘DAAN’ to the poor/needy has been a common practice in India since ages. However the feeling of doing something for the community is not just felt by the rich and powerful, it is also shared by millions of others who have all the good intentions but don't have the means to do so. When we speak about the millions, we have the lower strata from whom we don't expect much but the contributions that they have been making have taken me by total surprise. It's not been about money but they have done their bit by providing services and thus comes around the concept of Shram(services) Daan. It's surprising though that despite having the intent, I haven't seen or heard much of the in between strata that is the not so rich but earning well strata which I belong to, doing a collective effort like what I am going to tell you about :)
