Chota sa ghar hoga badlon ki chhanv mein
Chota Sa Ghar Hoga Badalon ki chaanv mein Aasha diwani man mein bansuri bajaye ( Shailendra – Film Naukri) We all dream of having our own little house soon, but only a few can achieve such a dream. Our previous generations would put their major life earnings into making a house, a family house. Many Service class personnel would make their house short or post retirement and consume their major savings, but it would be their sweet home. The banking industry had not evolved then, or we may say not that ruthlessly! We entered a new brave world of post liberalisation and subscribed to EMI. Prior to that era the loans to make a house were non existent . A sum of 75000/- was accorded as loan by the Government which was elusive as there was a long queue and the budget granted was meagre and therefore only few personnel would get it after years of wait. Here I have a story to tell as to how my parents purchased their house way back in 1974; almost fifty years back! The world was then much easy and benevolent perhaps! When my father arrived in Allahabad from Garhwal to pursue his legal practice in the mid sixties he managed a rented house , a small independent house in Ashok Nagar for monthly rent of Rs 100/-. We stayed in that house for about five years . I remember that the owner would come in his cycle on the first of the month to collect the rent. He was retiring and he asked us to vacate and then we shifted nearby in another reasonably spaced independent house where the rent was Rs 130/- . It also had large area for gardening and to grow vegetables . We were happy there and complacent for some years . One day the owner's wife visited us and said that her husband has retired and has suffered heart attack and therefore would like his house back. My parents therefore had no option but to look elsewhere , they too were concerned of his illness . Soon they learnt of multistorey apartments of ADA ( Allahabad Development Authority) being constructed opposite the circuit house . Local administration had made colony called Ashok Nagar which was already existing since late fifties , these were fifty two independent row houses with four rooms a small lawn and space behind, a cute affordable cocoon. They therefore visited the residence of the Chief Engineer who was in-charge of the project . As they were entering his bungalow they sighted a young girl rushing in after seeing them . It turned out that she was my mother's student at the local Government college and was excited to see her teacher visiting her home and announced to her parents that her teacher had arrived and that they should receive her properly! My parents were therefore happy when they were greeted warmly and extended courtesies well beyond their expectations! They then revealed the purpose of their visit and the chief engineer immediately brought the register and the chart of the new colony and asked my parents to choose the flat and floor of their preference . Since they wanted immediate possession they chose the first floor flat of a newly made building no 7. And so Flat no 7/4 became our permanent residence! May be it was a scheme for the middle income group people and it was called 'Hire Purchase' scheme , I recollect that an initial booking amount was around 5500/- and then a monthly rent of 550/- for 15 years, and after that the house was ours! This was affordable and we had a two BHK apartment with two small balconies . Why such welfare schemes were stopped I fail to understand ? It is believed that house brings luck and It was indeed a lucky house where we three brothers lived with our parents for many years. We completed our education, sought our professions , got married , had our first born in the same house . Well ! when my turn came to purchase a house the world had changed and when I managed to purchase one house in Mumbai with the arrears of the pay commission I remained burdened with a substantial EMI which I could not complete in my service tenure and had to seek employment post retirement to complete the EMI. I am not the only one who was caged by the bank EMI and exorbitant rates of the builders there are millions in these changing times of ours! What prompted the dramatic shift in housing sector from a committed and caring policy to a market based system? Perhaps the day people in power realised to open the doors wide for private players in house building . Catering to the ever growing population was one major reason but the lure of money and converting housing from a 'protected' sector to an 'investment' sector changed the game. Therefore there are people who muster their lifelong resources to buy a flat and there are people who buy property only for investment . The shift from 'need' based policy to 'market' based policy has cast its ugly unwavering spell . People in states and environment conscious people oppose conversion of agriculture and orchard land to residential but the rules have been eased for the builders . The Government has an excellent record of building good housing colonies for its employees. R K Puram and Moti Bagh in Delhi , Railway houses , Military housing colonies , MHADA schemes of Mumbai are quite good and standard. And therefore the State should have continued to construct houses for the larger public at affordable rates. When I see the competitive and curious construction sites all over my mind flies to the days my parents acquired their prised possession in 1975 . I look back with fondness and gratitude toward that Engineer who executed the ADA housing schemes . Recently my younger brother renovated the same house and when we visited it after many years we felt good but found the house small compared to the houses in which we stay these days ! But, when we were living there we found it so large and warm ! Perhaps because happiness and love resided there!
