Do you believe in Vastu?

I know a lot of people who belive in Vastu and I also have a lot of friends who do not trust the principals of Vastu but at http://www.gharexpert.com/ our aim is present each side of the story with details and let our esteem readers make their decision on their own.

One of the article describing Vastu principals is linked below

Like always, here are my two cents. We all know that our body is made up of chemicals and stuff our behavior and the general well being is closely controlled by how these chemicals stay in shape and Vastu principals provide very good advice as to how we can use the power of nature in an over all well being of our life. But like all other old theories the Vastu sciene is one thing and its interpretations are quite another so if you like, read the theory and develop your own interpretation. Right :)

Fixing the cracked heart of a building :)

It's amazing how a tiny little precaution measure at the time of constructing a building can save tonnes of moolah later on. It is so true "A stitch in time saves nine"

The first article is "How to avoid cracks in the building"

Closely knit Interior decoration community

Today we launched the all new 2008 GharExpert.com website. Sounds like a car launch does it :) I was soooooo dying to make this announcement that I opened this blog as soon as I finished my last review of the website.

The first change is a new section by the name “Fresh at Ghar Expert”. This section summarizes and highlights all activities happening on the website. It is kind of interesting, as it is an attempt to merge the editor controlled contents along with the community driven contents on the same space. It also makes things interesting as individual opinions of users are delivered fresh, unadulterated, untouched to the community. Of course our editors team reviews almost every thing to make sure that the contents are appropriate but that is done in the spirit of keeping the content clean so that every one can enjoy it. So now if you have your whole Ghar to decorate or just a small room, logon to GharExpert.com and let the experts from the Ghar Expert team help you design your dream home.

In my next post I will highlight other enhancements. Enjoy 

Interior Decoration website or a magazine?

What would you prefer; an interior decoration website, an interior decoration magazine or both. Well before I start the topic I have a confession to make.

www.GharExpert.com does not have a paper publication for interior decoration so my comments would be biased for the website :) but I would like you guys to take whichever side you want.

• Magazines, especially the interior decoration ones, are really glossy which is cool
• Magazines are handy, you can take them anywhere. This is better for Indian conditions as you have to take the concept to the work site to get things implemented.
• Websites are interactive, you can interact with the website organizers and communicate with other community members. I like this one the most as we will be launching cool community features on Ghar Expert website shortly.
• Websites can have unlimited contents. Theoretically you can find pretty much every thing on a website well done. In case of a magazine you can get only a couple of months issue and then you have no idea what was there in the magazine before.
• Websites can have multimedia contents that make things interesting for readers.
• Websites can not go to the site, unless of course with a laptop and a wireless internet connection and websites are not glossy... Food for thought for the GharExpert team.

GharExpert.com; What does Ghar mean anyway?

Ghar is a Hindi word that means "Home" so the website www.GharExpert.com relates to every thing related to home.

I thought I would use this channel to describe the meaning of "Ghar" to our international audience who do not have exposure to the Hindi language.

Even though the articles at GharExpert.com are referred to an Indian audience still the discussion about the spaces, their arrangements, and interior decoration techniques have global touch to them.

So the site not only provides useful contents to a "Global" Indian but also presents the Indian perspective of things to the world. Keep reading http://www.GharExpert.com :)

Love!

During the festival season, I can think of nothing else but love. We love our family, our friends and of course the spaces we live in. A couple of months ago, when I was working on redecorating my office; I chose Golden yellow color on one wall and painted the other 3 walls with cream. Since that day every time I enter my office and see the color combination, I get a very sweet feeling and it helps me start my day on a high.

We at GharExpert.com sincerely hope that you guys would use the ideas presented in the articles posted at Ghar Expert website and use them to design your dream spaces. One such article for your reading pleasure is posted below.
