Aditya Birla Group-Making an Impact_IMI_New Delhi

Being  a  home-owner  is  a  big  thing  in  any  middle  class  person's  life.  It  might  not  be  a  big  thing for  someone  with  a  bungalow  in  South  Delhi  or  for  someone  with  multiple  farmhouses  in Mumbai  but  to  an  average  Indian  middle  class  person,  it  is  one  of  the  biggest  things  of  their  life. Same  is  true  for  our  family  as  we  had  to  stay  in  a  rented  place  for  18-19  years  and  had  to compromise  I  don't  know  how  many  times  just  because  where  we  lived  was  a  rented  place,  and the  same  can  be  true  for  any  other  person  who  lives  or  has  lived  in  a  rented  flat  or  apartment. Now,  why  did  we  have  to  live  in  a  rented  place  for  19  years,  you  might  ask?  It's  not  as  if  it  was for  lack  of  trying  on  my  father's  part.  It  was  just  life  playing  a  harsh  prank  on  us.  What  had happened  was  that  my  father  had  paid  some  money  (close  to  7  lacs)  back  in  2005  and  it  was really  a  big  amount  back  then,  to  buy  some  land  in  the  posh  area  of  Civil  Lines  in  Allahabad,  but before  the    agreement  could  be  signed,  the  land-owner,  who  was  a  man  in  his  70s,  had  a cardiac  arrest  and  died  leaving  behind  his  3  sons  who  were  whimsical  at  times  with  their conditions  when  it  comes  to  finalising  the  agreement.  So  a  large  part  of  my  father's  savings  was therefore  stuck  at  the  mercy  of  3  brothers  who  had  little  to  no  intention  of  signing  the  land agreement  deal.  And  therefore,  the  legal  proceedings  began,  which  lasted  for  around  7  years and  in  the  end,  an  out-of-court  settlement  was  reached  between  them  and  my  father  wherein they  returned  the  money  that  my  father  had  given.  And  my  father,  who  had  his  eyes  set  up  on another  land  which  was  also  in  a  posh  area  and  closer  to  where  we  were  staying  currently, bought  the  land  and  after  the  bhoomi-poojan  and  similar  rituals  construction  began  on  the  site. Now,  my  parents,  who  had  dreamed  of  owning  a  place  of  their  own  for  20+  years  wanted  the house  to  be  strong  and  relentless  like  their  belief,  asked  around  and  found  out  that  Ultra-tech grey  cement  will  be  the  best  choice  for  the  construction  after  it  was  suggested  by  our  architect who  was  a  friend  of  my  father's  as  well  as  several  masons  as  well.  And  hence,  it  was  decided that  this  particular  product  from  the  Aditya  Birla  Group  will  be  the  foundation  of  our  home  and my  parents  20+  years  dream  of  owning  a  home.  So,  heartiest  thanks  from  me  and  my  family  as well  as  other  middle  class  Indian  families  who  have  dreamt  of  owning  a  home  and  have  been helped  in  realizing  this  dream  by  the  Aditya  Birla  Group.
