Sector 135, Noida: The Expressway Sector That Forgot It Was a Floodplain

  Sector 135, Noida The Expressway Sector That Forgot It Was a Floodplain By  Arindam Bose ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡ ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡ After Sector 168, the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway does not meet another numbered continuation. It meets Sector 135 — the next developed parcel on the same side of the corridor . This series follows land as it exists on the ground , not as it is numbered on paper. And on the ground, Sector 135 tells a very different story from the southern sectors that came after it. This is not a future sector. This is a consequence sector . Where Sector 135 Sits — And Why That Matters Sector 135 lies along the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway within Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh. Administratively, it falls under: Noida Assembly Constituency Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha Elevation:  208 metres above sea level Total Area:  878,566 sq m (87.86 ha / 217 acres) On paper, it looks like a compact, well-located ex...

The Sovereign Campus Why India's Nuclear Revolution Will Redefine Real Estate

The Sovereign Campus Why India's Nuclear Revolution Will Redefine Real Estate   By  Arindam Bose ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡ ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡   In my previous analysis of Nashville, I showed how Oracle chose the city for its healthcare soul—but then stalled because the grid couldn't power the body. Oracle announced a $1 billion campus in 2021. By late 2025, it still hadn't broken ground. The Tennessee Valley Authority grid, already strained by 51,000 annual newcomers, couldn't keep up with the exponential energy demands of AI-driven data centers. While Nashville waits for infrastructure, something extraordinary happened 8,000 miles away. On December 19, 2025, India passed the SHANTI Bill —the most consequential energy reform since Independence. For 63 years, the Atomic Energy Act of 1962 had kept nuclear power under exclusive state control. The SHANTI Bill shattered that monopoly, inviting private companies like Reliance, Adani, and Tata to build...

Week 7 of the 12 Week Psychology of Buyers Series: Generational Wealth Anxiety

  Week 7 of the 12-Week Psychology of Buyers Series: Generational Wealth Anxiety & "The Great Transfer" Why Inheritors Feel Guilty About Selling the Homes Their Parents Built By  Arindam Bose ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡ ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡   It was a warm Sunday in East Delhi. I was sitting in a slightly dim, old-style drawing room—low sofa, family photos on every wall, the smell of agarbatti still hanging in the air. The kind of room where time moves differently, where every object has a story attached to it, where even the cracks in the walls feel like part of the family. Across from me sat a 32-year-old product manager and his younger sister, a designer in Bengaluru. They had called me not to evaluate a project, but to help them decide what to do with this house. Their father had passed away the previous year. The entire home was a museum of their childhood—height marks on the wall tracking growth spurts, a cracked dining table that...

Acoustic Wellness : The Silent Vastu Revolution

  Acoustic Wellness  The Silent Vastu Revolution When Silence Becomes the Most Valuable Feature in Modern Homes By   Arindam Bose ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡ ⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡⬡   There is a sound I cannot unhear. It came to me not in a laboratory or a Vastu text, but in a Delhi bedroom at 3 a.m.—the low, grinding hum of a truck downshifting on the Ring Road, a sound that seemed to pass not through the window but through the walls, the floor, and into my chest. I woke, but I had never fully slept. My body was on guard, listening, even in dreams. The next morning, over chai, I asked my neighbor if she heard it too. She looked at me blankly. "What noise?" she said. "I don't hear anything anymore." That moment stayed with me. Not because she was lying, but because she wasn't. After three years in that apartment, her nervous system had stopped registering the hum. Her brain had filed it under "background"—invisible, but still...
