My office is not technically located in New Delhi.. but in the now-infamous Noida.. We are in one of the more desolate sectors which calls itself an ‘institutional area’ and has not much else to show. Biscuits and ‘tapri’ chai are a luxury but despite such lack of basic facilites.. rents here are as much as South Delhi.
But that’s not my grouse. Its obvious discrimination thats bugs me.. and these days is our lunch-time conversation. Most people here aren’t surprised.. but me.. as usual I am…
Around my office.. are huge societies with tall buildings, a nice compound and flats with plenty of natural light (all three usually missing in middle-income Delhi rentable houses) and uninventive names like ‘PMO Apartments, GAIL Apartments, IOC Apartments …. But these societies also come with err.. narrow-minded builders and occupants!
They will not give houses to single girls. Its a ban affected by the so-called builders’ association’ of this sector. Not a single single girl. Not two single girls and not three single girls. No single girls. Period.
Three girls in my office are going around Noida, looking for a flat to stay in . All over this sector because they want to be able to walk to work… but this is not the case only in this sector.. its all over goddamn Noida. No flats to single girls only.
WTF
As usual single guys are given.. even upto seven in a 3-bhk flat but not women. These girls are not given the house despite our CEO offering to talk to the landlord/management committee chairman and/or owner.
Obviously every single girl who leaves home to make a career has only one and one thing on her mind.. eh?
its the chor ki daadi mein tinka syndrome
it’s not against the law?
am sure it is.. but no body particularly cares for what the law actually says…
there is one place in Noida, where they can get the place. Please ask them to go to Sector 21 or 25 or any such housing society which ha s a military or navy or airforce connection. I am sure they will get it there.
Yup thats the Jay Vayu Vihar and I will pass on the message thank you abhishek.
well you are well settled where you are now and I hope you stay put and happy there.. its nice and close to me!!!
Of course am not moving.. cmon.. NOIDA seems like quite an effing place esp to live.. and for the record.. those girls are still looking.
