Gilco Park Hill Mohali

My relatives live in Gilco Park Hills, a beautiful residential society known for its greenery and peaceful environment. The society has a large open green space at its center, where adults enjoy walking barefoot on the soft grass and spending time amidst nature. In the evenings, children gather at the park to play on the swings and enjoy themselves until sunset, filling the surroundings with laughter and energy.

One of the most striking features of the society is its clean and fresh environment. The AQI level is comparatively low, making the sky appear clear at night. During our stay there, we could easily observe bright stars sparkling across the sky, a sight that has become rare in many crowded cities.

The society promotes a healthy and active lifestyle. Many senior citizens perform yoga and light exercises in the evening, while residents of all age groups enjoy walking around the beautifully maintained park. There is also a spacious amphitheatre in the center, which adds charm to the surroundings and serves as a gathering place for community activities.

The clubhouse is another attraction of the society. It includes a swimming pool, gymnasium, carrom board, and table tennis facilities. Residents regularly visit the clubhouse to relax, exercise, and socialize with one another.

Although there are no grocery stores or eateries inside the society premises, local vegetable and fruit vendors visit daily, making fresh produce easily available to residents. Naturally, the prices are slightly higher due to doorstep convenience. Just outside the society, there is a grocery store called M & M Grocery Store, which caters to daily household needs. Nearby, Hotel Park Hills offers decent dining facilities with both buffet and à la carte options at reasonable prices.

Security arrangements in the society are good, making it a safe and decent place to live. Many doctors and healthcare professionals reside here because of its proximity to Fortis Hospital Chandigarh. Cricket stadium is also nearby.

The society consists of six residential blocks, all designed in a circular layout around the central garden and amphitheatre. This thoughtful planning gives the society an open, connected, and aesthetically pleasing appearance, making it an ideal residential community for families and senior citizens alike.

   

Maya Garden City Zirakpur Punjab

Maya Garden City, Zirakpur is truly like a mini city in itself — a beautifully planned residential society with multiple towers and a wide variety of homes catering to people working in and around Chandigarh. Built nearly a decade ago, it has become a warm and welcoming home for many families.

The society offers 1 BHK, 2 BHK, 3 BHK, 4 BHK, and even spacious 5 BHK apartments, making it suitable for people from different walks of life and budgets. One of its biggest advantages is affordability along with comfort and convenience.

Maya Garden City has four well-guarded gates with strong security arrangements, including one gate exclusively for residents. There is also a shopping complex inside the society itself, making daily life easy and comfortable.

The surroundings are vibrant and well-developed. Reputed schools are located nearby, and essential facilities such as medical shops, eateries, grocery stores, and household shops are all available at a stone’s throw away. Popular brands and outlets like McDonald’s, Decathlon, D-Mart, Westside, Monte Carlo, and Bikanervala further enhance the lifestyle experience.

Unlike many modern high-rise projects, Maya Garden City has only 12 floors, which gives it a less crowded and more peaceful atmosphere. The society is filled with lush greenery, beautiful gardens, colorful flowers, and numerous parks for both children and adults. Residents enjoy a calm, joyful, and community-oriented lifestyle here.

Centrally located and close to major attractions like Chhatbir Zoo and Elante Mall, Maya Garden City feels like a secure fortress equipped with modern amenities and natural beauty.

Like every older property, there are a few challenges too. Some buildings have experienced seepage issues. However, the RWA has recently taken active steps to address the problem. Funds have been collected from residents, and renovation, waterproofing, and repainting work has already begun.

Many new residential projects have emerged over the years, but Maya Garden City still holds its own unique charm and identity. It continues to be loved by its residents for its greenery, accessibility, affordability, and strong sense of community.

Property- real estate in Hyderabad

In recent years, Hyderabad has emerged as one of India’s most promising and livable cities, especially for working professionals. The rapid development of areas like Financial Distt,Kokapet, Gandipet, Mokila, Rajendra Nagar, and Narsingi reflects the city’s growing importance as a major IT and residential hub.

One of the most encouraging aspects of Hyderabad’s growth is the role played by its real estate developers. Renowned builders such as Rajapushpa Properties, Aurobindo Reality,My Home Group, Prestige Group, NCC Urban , Jaibheri Group, and Sumadhura Group have significantly contributed to transforming the city’s skyline. They have not only focused on premium housing but have also ensured that quality homes are available across different budget ranges, making homeownership more accessible.

Today, buying a home in Hyderabad is no longer limited to high-income groups. Builders are thoughtfully designing projects that cater to middle-class and young working professionals, offering smart layouts, efficient use of space, and modern amenities at reasonable prices. From compact apartments to spacious gated communities, there is something for everyone.

These residential projects are more than just buildings—they offer a complete lifestyle. Facilities like in-house grocery stores, gyms, landscaped gardens, and clubhouses create a comfortable and convenient living environment. Moreover, the strategic location of these developments near IT hubs, schools, hospitals, and shopping centers adds immense value for residents.

What truly stands out is how Hyderabad balances affordability with quality. Compared to other metropolitan cities, homebuyers here get better space, better amenities, and better overall value for money. This makes the city especially attractive for young couples starting their journey together, as they can plan their future without excessive financial burden.

In addition to infrastructure and housing, the city’s charm lies in its culture—the delicious Hyderabadi Biryani, the famous Osmania Biscuits, and the warm hospitality of its people make it easy for newcomers to feel at home.

Hyderabad stands as a shining example of how urban development can be both inclusive and progressive.

Aaloo de paranthe -Punjabi Special - ma ki yaad -My sister

 Mavan Thandiyan Chavaan

 Te bhena naal mithiyan hawawa   

When someone's mother is no longer there, one often wonders where that love, affection, and warmth will come from. Perhaps that is why God created siblings.

My sister, though four years younger than me, often steps into that role. In many moments of confusion or difficulty, she guides me just like my mother once did, ten years ago when she was still with us.

This summer, I went to visit my sister, who lives far away in Mohali. She was overjoyed to hear that I was coming—just like my mother used to be. With the same eagerness, she asked me, “What should I make for you?”
I smiled and replied, “Aloo de paranthe.”

After a long and tiring journey, I finally reached her home. We met, hugged, and in that moment, distance and time disappeared. Soon, she served me hot, delicious paranthas—filled with love. With every bite, I was reminded of our mother.

Truly, blessed are those who have siblings who stand by them through every phase of life—offering comfort, care, and a piece of home when it is needed the most. Love you Dipti.

Rajaji National Park , Haridwar- Unforgettable Safari Ride

Cost of the trip:

• Jeep safari: ₹2400
• Entry fee per person: ₹150
• Jeep entry fee: ₹200

For a group of six, the total cost came to around ₹3500. Children below 9 years of age can enter free.

Our visit to Rajaji National Park in April was truly unforgettable. Located near Haridwar, in the vicinity of Shivalik Nagar, this destination is a paradise for nature lovers. Surrounded by lush greenery and the serene beauty of the forest, it offers a rare opportunity to witness wildlife living freely in its natural habitat.

As we ventured deeper into the jungle, we spotted deer, stags, and graceful peacocks performing mesmerizing dances in groups. We also came across neel gai and herds of elephants. One of the most heartwarming sights was a family of elephants—father, mother, and a little baby—quietly feeding in the sugarcane fields.

Our safari was in a sturdy seven-seater open jeep, driven by a gentle and knowledgeable guide who knew exactly where animals were likely to be found. Interestingly, photography was not allowed, and our phones were collected at the beginning of the tour. This helped us stay fully present and soak in every moment without distractions. The memories we carried back are far more vivid and meaningful than any photograph could capture.

We witnessed a group of elephants drinking water from a river flowing through the jungle. The forest was alive with birds—some soaring in the clear blue sky, others perched on trees, and many filling the air with melodious songs that created a natural symphony.

At one point, we saw wild jungle fowls moving together like a disciplined parade across the open ground. Near the riverbank, we noticed fresh claw marks, possibly of a leopard, reminding us of the untamed wilderness around us. Suddenly, a large Nilgiri langoor leaped from one tree to another with incredible agility—it was a thrilling moment that gave us goosebumps.

As the weather shifted, light rain began to fall and the sun slowly disappeared behind the clouds. Sensing the change, we requested our driver—an ex-army officer who now works with the park out of his passion for wildlife—to head back. His stories and experience added a special touch to our journey.

It was truly a memorable trip. Anyone visiting Haridwar or Rishikesh should definitely explore this dense forest, rich with exquisite flora and diverse fauna.
