verybody loves freebies. And we offer this handy, monthly neighbourhood guide for free. However, if you want to have it delivered to your doorstep, month after month, subscribe! And if you are organising events, parties and promotions, email us with all the information (info@residentswatch.in) for some free, tactical advertising. Apartment Associations in and around HSR Layout are welcome to get in touch with us with their grievances or just to value-add to what we are already doing. Want to stand out from the crowd? Advertise. After all, this guide is given away free because it is subsidised only by advertisements. Since we want everybody to be able to afford it, we have various price slabs. For example, a paid classified listing with your logo and description will only cost you Rs 625/month (see page 2). We believe that our reader is also our advertiser and marketing person. Make the most of this handy guide and make sure you call our advertisers and give them your support. After all, they make it all happen. Don’t forget to mention that you saw their ad in this magazine to get some personalised attention. Feel free to leave your comments on our website (residentswatch.in) or email (info@residentswatch.in). Your bouquets and brickbats are always welcome… your brickbats will help us improve and your bouquets will keep us motivated. Until next month, don’t let that smile leave your face. Don’t know how to? Shop, eat out and pamper yourself silly at the neighbourhood’s many beauty salons. If that isn’t enough, sign up with a hobby club or an adventure sports firm (see page 56). Your life will never be the same. Happy new innings in 2013! ZAHID H JAVALI Editor zahid@writewing.in

Civic agenda for 2013
HSR Resident welfare associations set the agenda for civic officials
BBMPSPEAK Says Shashikumar, assistant executive engineer, BBMP: “We have taken up work on some bad stretches of roads. We have also asked for an MLA grant of Rs 1.5 crore and an additional Rs 2.5 crore from the corporator’s budget for taking up the road works. We will re-model the storm water drains in Sector 3 by the end of March. Work on Agara Lake has been taken up by the Lake Development Authority. We will conduct a drive to evict street hawkers blocking vehicular traffic. However, we cannot identify an alternate place for them, as the residents living in the relocated vicinity might not like the idea. Action on sand lorries parked on service roads has already been taken. Only 10-15% of the problem still remains. We have informed the police about it. Building public toilets should reflect in the next corporation budget before we take it up.”

By our feature writer
L
ast month, all the resident welfare associations led by the Federation of RWAs (resident welfare associations) submitted their collective and individual memorandums to corporator K Latha N Murthy. The meeting attended by top civic officials was also video recorded in the presence of the media. Here are the issues taken up by the RWAs. While some of the work has already begun, we hope the officials and the politicians led by MLA Satish Reddy and assisted by Latha Murthy will do the needful in ensuring a cleaner, greener residential neighbourhood.
A PROBLEM OF PLENTY 1. Asphalting of main roads and cross roads; installing and maintaining street lights and cleaning storm water drains. 2. Rejuvenation of Agara and other lakes near HSR and eradicating dogs and pigs in the layout. 3. Removing street hawkers and providing an alternative place. 4. Providing signal lamps by the police on 5th Main and 14th Main, and height barriers on other roads. 5. Removing sand lorries in the neigbourhood and constructing public toilets in the layout.

‘Reviewing works should be top priority of the corporator and MLA’ BNR Reddy, Chairman, Federation of HSR Layout Residents Welfare Associations
By our feature writer
B People are indiscriminately commercialising their property, leading to an imbalance in providing infrastructure by the civic agencies. This will mean, more generation of garbage and rampant use of power and water resources. 20| January 2013
NR Reddy (61) is a long-time resident of HSR Layout – nine years and counting. He retired a few years ago as the Vice President of ING Vysya Bank. Today, he is a consultant with the bank on vigilance issues. That apart, he is a resident activist as the president of Sector 7 Residents Welfare Association and the Chairman of the Federation of HSR Layout Residents Welfare Associations. As the president of Sector 7 Residents Welfare Association, what has been the biggest achievement so far? In 2002-03, when I built my house, there was a sudden breach of Begur and Madiwala lake. This led to massive flooding in Sector 6 and 7. As a resident, I contacted the BDA and the media who gave a detailed report on the situation. Subsequently, the government and the BDA took immediate steps to ensure that the rain water went into the 9th main storm water drain instead of flooding the other main roads. Subsequently, I interacted with the then chief minister HD Kumaraswamy to put up a height barrier on 9th Main to restrict movement of heavy vehicles. And that was subsequently put in place.

What is the biggest problem facing HSR Layout today? People are indiscriminately commercialising their property. And this is leading to the commercialisation of the entire layout. This is against the BDA rules. It leads to an imbalance in providing infrastructure by the civic agencies. This will also mean, more generation of garbage and rampant use of power and water resources. If anybody purchases a site, they should build and live in it. The government should make a law that only a few roads should be reserved for commercial purposes. We are interacting with the corporator and the MLA to see that this happens. Lets wait and watch. What do you like about HSR? Big sites, large houses, no congestion, wide roads and a good cosmopolitan set of people. How do you rate the corporator? She’s a good person. With a good intention, she gives directions to all the government officials. But the followup, perhaps because of her busy schedule, isn’t happening. I request her to give more time to ensure that these officials do their work. After their feedback, she needs to inspect if the work is done. How do you rate the MLA? He is a good person. He interacts with people, resident welfare associations and civic officials. He is like a general who gives directions. It is up to the lower level officials to carry out the work entrusted to them. I request the MLA to see if the work has been done and pull up officials if they haven’t. Reviewing the works should be his top priority. If he doesn’t monitor the works, there are bound to be discrepancies. What should be the top priorities of the corporator and MLA? They need to advise officials on cleaning up the vacant sites and storm water drains. And they have to get the traffic police to ResidentsWATCH
restrict movement of heavy vehicles who are using HSR Layout as a bypass road. All illegal commercialisation of buildings should be restricted. Removing of hawkers from all the main roads and allocating them on a separate street, like the service road opposite McDonald’s, would be a better idea. Any immediate concern? Some dye-making factories have come up on the city’s outskirts. They are leaving the effluents in HSR Layout and thereby contaminating the ground water. I noticed it in the storm water drain of Sector 5. I brought it to the notice of the pollution control board and the other civic officials. This is very dangerous. Something has to be done immediately to stop this. What do you do when you are not working? I play cricket for Indiranagar club and Bangalore Club. I go for a swim every morning for about 45 minutes at Indiranagar Club. Only in December, I skip swimming because of the winter season. During that time, I go for a walk every day. Whenever I have time, I play cricket in the play ground behind Fernhill Apts in HSR Layout.

Know your MLA
‘My next three goals are to get a cycling track, rejuvenate Agara Lake and create a playground for playing various games’
M Satish Reddy, MLA, Bommanahalli constituency
Fresh from celebrating his 40th birthday on December 12, M Satish Reddy, is firmly ensconced in his MLA seat. Operating from HSR Layout’s BDA complex, his confidence of getting re-elected this year stems from the many milestones he has accomplished during his term. In a free-wheeling chat, he talks about his triumphs and the road ahead. 26| January 2013
By Zahid H Javali What are the three biggest achievements of you as an MLA? The first has to be the box drains under the road and the cleaning up of the storm water drains and Raja Kaluve (main storm water drain) to get rid of the flooding problem that HSR Layout and surrounding areas experienced during the monsoons five years ago. The second has to be the widening and re-laying of roads across the layout. And the third would be the beautification of all the 29 parks in the area when they were largely neglected and in a bad state. With funds being the main reason for delay in the development works, how did you manage to get the money for these works? I should thank former chief minister Yeddyurappa for that. Unlike earlier when MLAs were just given Rs 1 crore for their constituency, he gave Rs 160 crore to every MLA. ResidentsWATCH

What are the three things you are going to do next? The first would be a cycling track across HSR layout. The second would be a good playground in front of Gyan Srishti School (where old Cambridge school was). Though this land was wrongly given to Supreme Court judges, the residents and I fought for it and it was eventually decided in our favour. But now, the contractor has gone to court saying he needs to be paid the money he has already invested. I hope that this is sorted out in court and the layout gets its own playground meant to play all kinds of games, like football and cricket. The third goal is to restore Agara Lake back to its old glory. What about the Somasundarapalya Lake? Since there are no funds earmarked for it, I am investing my own money and have already started the work on the lake. Residents complain that your instructions go unheard by the government officials who are supposed to implement them… I have tightened such people. And if they are still delaying works and asking for bribes, people can directly complain to me and I will take immediate action on them. Every other road in HSR Layout is becoming a commercial area, against the BDA rules… If the residents or resident welfare associations give me a written complaint, I will promptly take action on such establishments. If I do it on my own, people will think I have a vested interest. Nandini Cool Joint in Sector 3 is illegal, says the corporator. What are you doing about it? We had given them permission for a milk booth, but if they are selling a lot more than just that, then they are liable to be punished. But as I said before, I need a written complaint from the residents before I can take any action on them. ResidentsWATCH
What do you do when you are not working? I play cricket atleast twice a week. And whenever I have some free time, I watch comedy and action films in Kannada, Telugu & Hindi. Are you confident of getting re-elected this year? Yes, I have my five year’s work to show for it. I have helped the slum dwellers living in the villages that come under my Bommanahalli constituency as much as the software engineers in HSR Layout. I have personally given away thousands of ration cards and khatas to poor families in addition to Bhagyalakshmi schemes for the girl child and Aadhaar cards to everyone. While a few other parts of Bangalore are yet to get Cauvery 4th Stage water supply, we have already started providing it in HSR Layout. If you have a problem, head to the MLA’s office at: Shop No 36, BDA Complex, 6th sector, HSR Layout. Tel: 2572-6775, 94480-51616. Email: msathishreddy2008@yahoo.co.in.

AGONY AUNT By Sunita Menon, Director (Education), www.breakthrough.tv I am pregnant and my husband and mother-in-law are eager to know the sex of the unborn child. I am not very comfortable and would rather wait to know. How can I explain this wish to them without upsetting them? This is a situation faced by many pregnant women. Sit down with your family and ask them why the sex of the baby is so important to them. If they continue to pressurise you, explain to them that it is not the sex of the baby that matters but whether it is healthy. Both boys and girls bring happiness to a family. Discriminating against one or the other will only create an unhappy environment at home. In case, you find them to be resistant, share it with your parents, so they could talk to your husband and in-laws. I am in love with a boy of a different religion. We want to marry, but our families are opposed to it. What should I do? It is brave of you both to forge ahead with your relationship despite the opposition. Sit down with your parents individually and explain to them why you love your partner and why you are willing to fight for your relationship. I hope that they will understand and consider your happiness above all else. Unfortunately, it might not work out that easily, but stick to your convictions and be prepared for any eventualities. All the best. I was sexually involved with a guy in a long-term relationship. However, due to family pressure, we could not marry and mutually decided to go with our family’s wish and broke up. Now I am getting married to someone else. It’s an arranged marriage with my consent. I am confused about whether I should tell my fiancé that I am not a virgin or whether I should just keep quiet and put the past behind me. I am worried that I might be taking a huge risk by telling him this. Please advise. This is a personal situation and ultimately, you have to weigh your options. Honesty is vital to any relationship. Your partner should be willing to accept and love you no matter what. However, in India, this can be a fragile subject to address since there are so many expectations and cultural norms governing women. You have to accept that if you tell him the truth, he might turn his back to you. Decide what is most important to you and then choose the course you would like to take. ResidentsWATCH

DID YOU KNOW?
There is a huge demand for serviced apartments in HSR Layout. If some are bad, it’s because they don’t have proper water supply.
PropertyBarometre
The craze for land will never go down. Ofcourse, the prices can go up and down, but those are speculative prices. The real value of land has always been on the increase. And it is this need of humans to own vast tracts of land and an equal number of houses and apartments that has prompted us to dedicate an entire section on real estate. We list some of the more prominent builders, developers and realtors. In addition, we also have a legal column by an accomplished lawyer who will answer all your queries related to property.

LEGAL OPINION By Kosturi Ghosh Partner, Trilegal. For personal consultations, call 4343-4646
This column is for general information and not legal advice.
}} I have signed a lease deed with my landlord, but is the stamp duty compulsorily payable? The payment of stamp duty is governed by the Stamp Acts that are implemented in different states. These legislations require a lease deed to be stamped either before or at the time of execution. The stamp duty is based on the rent payable for the premises and the period of the lease. Without the stamp duty, you will not able to enforce the provisions of the lease deed in court. However, any ancillary arrangements such as security deposit paid to the landlord may be recovered. If such a document is presented in a court of law, a penalty of up to 10 times the stamp duty payable or the shortfall can also be imposed. In addition, a document cannot be registered unless duly stamped. }} Do I have to register a property I acquired through a sale deed? Under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, a sale can be made only through a registered instrument. According to the Registration Act, 1908, a sale deed is to be mandatorily registered within four months from the date of its execution. This should be in the office of a sub-registrar within whose sub-district, the property is situated. Not registering the sale deed means, it will not be enforceable in court. }} Can my brother sell my house if I grant a general power of attorney to him? Is the sale through the common Sale Agreement/General Power of Attorney/Will (SA/GPA/ WILL) document valid? A power of attorney is a frequently used document of convenience. With a duly executed power of attorney, either general or for this specific purpose, your brother may validly sell your property on your behalf. Please note, however, that there has been a recent proliferation in SA/GPA/WILL transfers, where documents are executed in the favour of a person with provisions for (a) sale of a property in favour of that person (b) a general power of attorney to manage or sell the property (c) bequeathing the property to that person upon the death of the transferor. The Supreme Court has specifically held that SA/GPA/WILL agreements of this nature are invalid and such a transaction does not convey title or create an interest in the property.

Hot chocolate fudge at Corner House. It’s a perennial favourite by most followed closely by Coke Fudge and Death by Chocolate. And the newest item on the menu? Cafe Caramel Sundae! Murg Gilafi Seekh Kebab at Nizams Paradise. The Tequila chicken and Organic Vanilla at Mishmash. The Chicken and Mutton biriyani from the Ambur Biriyani outlet in Jakkasandra, Koramangala. Butterscotch and Strawberry pastries at Sweet Chariot. Ghee Laddoo at Kanti Sweets. The Shawarma chicken roll at Bake n Cake. Mixed sweets box at Shree Mithai. The lamb barbecue at Sher Khan. You have to order a day in advance. The chicken biriyani at Kabab Masti. The Darjeeling green tea at Gold Bean (formerly Cuppa). The homely north Indian meals at It’s My Meal Cafe. The many varieties of masala dosa and stick kulfis at Juice Junction. The masala puri at the street vendor near BWSSB office-MK Ahmed junction. The French Fries at McDonald’s. Chicken popcorn at KFC.
P.S: For directions to these places, refer to Foodies Delight section under the relevant cuisine. January 2013|45

FACTOID The word ‘bra’ began to appear as a cool new slang term among young women in the mid-1930s. It was a truncated version of the standard term, brassiere. At the same time, the initials ‘p.j.’ were substituted for the pajama.

FASHION SPEAK FASHION TIPS Use the right kind of accessories during the winter, like cashmere scarves, earflap hats, woollen gloves and suede boots. Wear chunky jewellery. Double-layered clothing is best. And keep you hair long.
FASHION DISASTER Matching nail polish, shoes, jazzy clothes, too much shimmer and overdone embroidery. Matching everything from eye shadows to shoes is a fashion disaster.
FOR FRIENDS OF GIRTH Loose fitting clothes, non-starched cottons and linens work well on hefty people. Kurtis, salwars, cotton pants, cotton formal wear, and casuals will save them from looking like a fashion disaster.

IDEAL DRESS FOR PARTIES If it’s a formal party, its formal shirts with formal pants. If it’s a party at the club, tight shirts and tight jeans for men. For a cool look, they can even wear 3/4ths. Women have a lot of choices. Any designer top with jeans or a one piece dress (formal dress) and a short black dress of any colour will do.

Hunting for the best shopping experience Residents Watch picks the 11 best haunts for shoppers in HSR Layout By Team RW

SR Layout is buzzing with shopaholics galore. And why not? There are plenty of shops to keep them company. Here is our Hot List of shops you should frequent for reasons specified below. Happy shopping!
THE HOT LIST
HAVE A FAVOURITE? If you have your favourites in HSR Layout, tell us why you like them. If you are convincing enough, we will share it with our readers. Write to: info@residentswatch.in 54| January 2013
• For all your furniture needs, head to Best Looking Furniture. The prices are reasonable ofcourse, but their biggest USP? Their after-sales service. • We love the newest branded designer clothes at Showbiz. You get to wear the best in the world at affordable prices. Name the global brand, and chances are, you might find it here. And the best part? The shop has stuff for men, women and children. • For traditional wear, be it kurtas and pajamas or sarees, nothing to beat Swadeshi’s vibrant variety. And then, you have the fixed price sale at Sarika Silks. But if you are a woman looking for fabrics and tailormade stuff, Kinaari is a good bet. • If you are looking for baby products, step inside My Baby Store. They have some amazing stuff for every kid. • For the nearest mall with an eclectic food court, it’s Bangalore Central in Bellandur. With a bowling and shooting alley, and a videogame parlour, it’s all under one roof. • For handicrafts and objet de art, Central Cottage Industries Corporation (CCIC) deserves repeat visits. • For the vibrant variety of aquarium fish in a balmy ambience, Eden Aquatics takes the honours. • For the best customer service, step inside Vasan Eye Care. Which optician has offered you fruit juice the moment you step in? • For the best deals anywhere in town, Pai International is perfect for electronics and home appliances. • For studio portraits, there is GK Vale, and for creative wedding albums and videos, nothing to beat Bhavani Digital Studio. P.S: For directions, see Retail Therapy section. ResidentsWATCH

TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS p Research about the place you are visiting through the Internet, friends and relatives who have visited the place. p Angle your subject differently. Get low, climb high. Lie on your back. Crawl on your knees. p Don’t let the weather discourage you. If the light is flat gray, focus on portraits. If the weather is bad, get that tripod out for long exposure shots after sunset. p While it’s okay to take pictures of people without their knowledge, sometimes and particularly while taking portraits in travel photography, it makes sense to interact with your subjects: they could be locals or visitors, but this breaking of the ice helps in getting richer expressions from people you’re talking with.
