It is often seen that people unknowingly do this to their bedrooms as well.
Keep reading this post till the end to learn about some of the easiest and the most effective Vastu remedies that you can immediately apply to your current room. And the best thing is, you will also learn about a remedy which you can use if you cannot make any changes to your current bedroom due to space constraints.
The Best Direction for Bedroom
Directions to choose: Vastu says that bedrooms are best built in the southwest as it is associated with prosperity and good health to the owners. Even the north is considered lucky for everyone. Children’s bedrooms can be located in the east or northwest. It is said to give them a sharp intellect.
Directions to avoid: Southeast and Northeast. Also, avoid the centre of the house i.e., the “Brahmasthan.” This is the place through which energy flows continuously. That is not something that you would desire for a place meant for resting.
The Ideal Bed
Vastu says that a square or rectangular shaped wooden bed is considered the best. Wrought iron beds are very harmful to your health as they can interfere with the magnetic field of your body and can lead to serious health issues. Also, avoid using two single mattresses to fit into one double bed.
The Ideal Bed Placement
Your bed must be placed with its head towards the east or south. It is desirable to place your bed against the wall in the south or the west so that your legs point towards the north or the east when you lie down. Avoid sleeping with your legs pointing towards the south. Vastu is also against the placement of a bed in the corner as it restricts the free flow of energy. It must be placed along the central part of the wall. Ideally, you should be able to get down from both the left and right sides of the bed.
Placement of Mirror
Having a dressing table in the bedroom is common. Vastu emphasizes the fact that mirrors can amplify energy which results in restlessness and worry. So, make sure to place it in such a way that the bed is not reflected in it. If that arrangement is not possible, simply cover the mirror when not in use.
Colour of the bedroom
When it comes to bedrooms, it is best not to have too many distracting colours and patterns on a bedroom wall. Vastu recommends using light or pastel colours as they are soothing to the senses. Newly married couples can use a subtle hint of red. But, take care not to overuse it because it represents fire and can cause temperament issues.
Bonus Vastu Tips:
The usage of false ceilings may enhance the look of a room. But according to Vastu, you must be careful not to choose the one having pointed designs hanging from it. It causes bad sleep. Avoid skylight ceilings too.
If you have an attached bathroom, keep the door closed when not in use.
It is also advised for couples to not have pictures, paintings or artefacts of lonely animals or birds. Have things in pairs. Also, if you like paintings, keep the ones that represent love and togetherness.
Hope you made it to the end of this blog post. Before concluding, here is a simple Vastu remedy for you if it is not possible to make any changes to your current bedroom due to lack of space and other inconveniences. Simply place a bowl of sea salt or camphor crystals in your room. Sea salt and camphor absorb negative energy and are highly recommended as Vastu remedies. And needless to say, keep your space clean.

Oct 30, 2021 | Blog, Buyer Concerns
No one ever expected the world to change so much as it has since the end of 2019. And this change will continue to remain, for some time more, unfortunately. But we humans like to be known as the smart species and we definitely are, given we do our research and remain open to opportunities. We were quick to see and recognize what best can be done to adapt to these testing times. We changed the way we lived our lives before and started focusing on what’s better and practical.
Along with the usual human lives, every business was affected. This also includes the real estate industry. With the change in lifestyle and work from home culture, house buying and renting requirements in the different tiers almost got to NIL. However, there rose the need for a new living culture to which people began to adapt quickly and positively – Single homes.
The demand for single homes did not go down. Though the construction pace slowed down, the demand for single homes didn’t. At the same time, homeowners were reluctant to list their homes for sale during a pandemic, which reduced the for-sale supply. Those who maintained the value of their property did enjoy the fortune to sell them at good prices as well. Some of the factors included generous mortgage forbearance programs and the foreclosure moratorium also reduced supply.
Studies suggest that the housing market tightened primarily because of a surge in demand for single-family living. Also called linear family living, other major factors that contributed to this surge include:
- With income crunch, people have started to prefer living in single-family accommodations to meet their needs and that of their spouse, children and parent(s).
- With the need to spend more time at home instead of the office and other public spaces, people are looking for comfortable and sufficient spaces inside their own homes.
- With the importance to maintain distance as much as possible to survive the pandemic, people are willing to build the trust to share spaces only with their immediate family members.
It is known that the market will take time to cool down because of the relaxation of the many pandemic-caused supply-side constraints. New demand has exceeded leaving behind pre-pandemic levels of supply, and the gap is too large can’t be realistically filled by new construction in the short term. Surprisingly, the jump in the listings might be because of many homebuyers who were owner-occupants selling their current home when purchasing a new one as well. However, the new subsequent listing of these purchases has not seen an increase in second-home buying. Another contributing factor could be a case where homeowners attempt to buy their next home before putting their current home on the market, as they can be confident of finding a buyer quickly.
Lower interest rates or borrowing costs have also influenced the housing demand. With interest rates on the lower side, people feel confident to take on more debt because they can afford relatively more debt for the same monthly outlay. In another way, they will be able to take the decision of purchasing a home because at low-interest rates wherein the amount they will need to pay won’t be burdensome.

The presence of positive energy in your home makes way for continuous good health and happiness around. It assists you in leading a positive life, which results in balancing and creating the required harmony for your betterment and of your family members. Like we mentioned in our previous blog, “No matter how much you invest in the latest and unique home décor pieces, wall paints or high-end technological equipment, radiating the right kind of energy plays an altogether different and important role.”
In our previous blog on the series – “The Art of Vastu Shastra – Radiate Positivity”, we learned how to maintain the Vastu of the living area of your home. Moving on, in this second blog of the series, we will give you ideas on how you can maintain the Vastu of your Kitchen area. Right from the positioning of certain elements in your kitchen to what should be included and what not to radiate positivity around, let us take a dive into the details.
Choosing the Best Locations
What and where you place and position in your kitchen directly results in maintaining the Vastu of the space. Let us help you understand how and why:
Cooking Hob
Choose the South East or North West corners of your kitchen to install your cooking hob. Whether you have an L-shaped layout or a U-shaped layout, you can choose the ideal positioning for the hob and use the rest for other activities and placement. This started earlier when hot winds blowing from South West to North East stopped the chances of the kitchen spaces catching fire.
Kitchen Sink
According to Vastu, the placement of the kitchen sink should be in the Northeast area. This concept or requirement as we can say started from the early days when water for cooking or washing utensils was stored in containers. It was believed that placing in the position helped kill germs with the sun’s rays and purify the water.
Drinking-Water
Ensure that you place the water filter(s) in your kitchen or other rooms in the northeast direction. The first rays of the sun come from this direction which helps the water to get sterilized and purified as they get exposed for your consumption. When there were no filters in the early days, drinking waters were placed in large containers in this direction for the natural filtration process.
Appliances
Like cooking hobs, cooking appliances such as a microwave and more should be placed in the South-East direction to avoid chances of catching fire. Refrigerators should be placed in the South West or North-West directions and so should ovens. Then on the East side or the opposite side of the main cooking area, install the exhaust fan and chimney.
Food Storage
Never keep your food storage boxes or containers above the stove on cabinets or shelves. This is because you may leave the cabinets open when in a hurry which can cause unwanted circumstances such as fire, developing stains from the cooking or creating odours. Choose the sides of the opposite spaces for the placement of the boxes and containers instead.
BONUS Tips
Along with these important tips, also ensure:
Painting the walls white because it helps create a positive vibe as the colour is associated with purity. Moreover, the natural sun rays are soaked up which then reflects in the room and brightens it up.
Choosing pastel shades of blue, pink and green makes the food look attractive and helps you to enjoy your meal well.
We hope that you enjoyed reading the piece and will start incorporating them in your kitchen space. This age-old practice comes with practical concepts, hence allowing you to lead a better and secure life.

Amitabh Bachchan, the megastar of Indian cinema, is not only known for his extraordinary performances over the years. The Bollywood megastar also makes the headlines regularly for his real estate investment. Big B is known to be fond of investing in real estate properties so much so that the star not only owns multiple properties in India but also abroad. This shows how his interests are fairly divided between movable and immovable assets.
Number of Bungalows of the Bachchans
Both Mr. and Mrs. Bachchan own magnificent bungalows in the Juhu area in the city of Mumbai. They have named their bungalows with different names and some have been with them since forever.
Prateeksha – Juhu Scheme:
This is the first property of the Bachchans which was bought by the megastar’s family in Juhu-Vile Parle. This is the bungalow where the actor’s late parents lived, Mr. Karivansh Rai Bachchan and Mrs. Teji Bachchan, which makes this old yet grand property one of his favourites. He is often spotted visiting the property during his leisure time to spend a few hours.
Jalsa – Kapol Housing Society:
Only a kilometre away from Prateeksha, Jalsa was gifted to Amitabh Bachchan by director Ramesh Sippy as remuneration for his movie, ‘Satte Pe Satta.’ Jalsa is a magnificent 10,125 sq ft twin-storey bungalow located in Kapol Housing Society. It is said that the property was initially under Ramola Bachchan, wife of Amitabh’s brother Ajitabh Bachchan for tax issues. By 2006, it was registered under Amitabh’s wife, actress Jaya Bachchan.
Janak – Juhu:
Located in close proximity with Jalsa, Janak serves as an office for the megastar. The property was bought in the year 2004 for a whopping amount of Rs. 50 crore by the family. The word ‘Janak’ meaning ‘father’ was the name chosen by the actor and he can be spotted regularly visiting the premises with his grandson Agastya Nanda, son of daughter Shweta Bachchan.
Vatsa – Juhu:
Another amazing property owned by the Bachchan family in Juhu, Vatsa is not where any of the family members reside. Instead, it has been leased out to a bank that offers rent in lakhs of rupees each month.
Apart from his properties in Mumbai, the Bachchans also made it to the headlines for owning homes aboard.
Dubai: Like A lot of Bollywood celebrities, the Bachchans too have invested in holiday homes that define luxury and comfort in every corner. The family owns a beautiful mansion in Dubai’s Sanctuary Falls, an extremely posh neighbourhood. Along with the many stunning features, some include a 180-hole championship and a swimming pool.
Paris: Amitabh Bachchan’s luxe apartment in Paris is an all different investment and a gift of love! A popular business website stated that the luxe pad in Paris was gifted to Amitabh Bachchan by his wife Jaya Bachchan after learning about his love and enthusiasm for the French and this very fashion capital of the world.
Very recently, the actor again made it to the headlines for adding a new property to his list of properties in the country – An apartment. The apartment, which was bought in the month of May, is known to be a 5704 square foot duplex apartment that was purchased for a number of Rs. 31 crores.
On the occasion of our megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday, Protech Group decided to share this piece showing you his unique interest apart from the entertaining movies he has blessed us with all these years.

This year, create your own with some amazing festive décor ideas! Get a set of fabric colours containing the primary colours and a paintbrush. Colour the diyas on your own and use other natural items for the decoration such as rice paste, orange lentil, black sesame seeds etc.
Light Strings
Pull out the light strings from the previous year and bring in some colourful tapes. Cut out small pieces of the different tapes and start sticking them around the small light to create the string light of your choice of colour. This DIY idea goes best with the usual yellow lights.
Floral Decor
With a variety of flower types available, you can create different floral festive décor items. For instance, create a long floral string with marigold flowers and tie a big knot on both ends so that the flowers do not fall off. Next, start making a circle with the string one above the other. You can place such in sets in corners or solo. To add more grace to this, carefully place scented candles inside the circles. You can also mix to create circles from different flowers.
Reuse Old Containers
Bring out the waste containers/jars of cosmetics, food and more that you have been collecting or storing. Paint each of these jars in different colours. Add glitters to some and a quick dash of contrast coloured paints to some. You’ll have a collection of containers in different sizes and shapes that can now be used as candle holders, nut containers, flower holders, Diya stand and much more.
Old Colourful Fabrics
If you have some fabrics that you do not wish to use anymore such as a colourful dupatta, designed Kurtis or a cotton saree, it’s time you get them out. These pieces can be used to hang flowers or other décor stuff at the entrance, or any room. You can twist the colourful fabrics to create a shape of your choice and go creative. If you have only plain fabric, worry not! Add some colours to it and bring out the creative you this festive season.

Water Conservation: An Introduction
Water conservation is a great way to understand the use of water proficiently. This is a method that also helps contribute towards a decrease in using excessive water. There are several ways to conserve water and this is a practice being followed for ages. While the advancement of technology has introduced humankind to the modern ways to conserve water, many still prefer the traditional way: rainwater harvesting.
Significance of Water Conservation
We are well aware of the rising and serious concerns about water scarcity in different countries including India. When Chennai in 2019 made it to the international headlines for running out of water completely, the NITI Aayog reported that if strict measures of water conservation aren’t followed, almost 20 other cities including Delhi and Bangalore would run out of groundwater.
Additionally, it has been time and again reported that more than 50% of the Indian population has no access to safe drinking water. Hence, the only way to avoid such a situation is by adopting powerful water conservation methods in both residential and commercial sectors.
Methods of Water Conservation
There are multiple ways of water conservation. While many have adopted the modern ways, some still prefer the traditional ways to conserve water. You too can choose to pick any one of the methods based on availability and convenience.
Rainwater Harvesting
This is a traditional, convenient and one of the most effective ways to conserve water. The process of rainwater harvesting is to collect and conserve natural water in huge tanks, barrels or underground reservoirs. This water collected can then be used for multiple activities such as watering plants, washing utensils and clothes, car wash and many more.
Install Water Meter
Another effective way to avoid water wastage is by installing water meters in the respective properties. Any amount of water being used will be measured and the amount calculated. The higher the volume of water usage, the higher will be the charge.
Valves with Pressure Reduction
With pressure-reducing valves, the amount of water pressure is controlled in the hydraulic system. They help maintain a pre-set water level allowing reduced water consumption and longer-lasting downstream components used in the water system.
Water Recycling
Another effective traditional form of water conservation, water recycling is the process of using wastewater in various areas. This is different from rainwater harvesting as you do not collect the freshwater directly and instead reuse water that has already been used. For instance, the water used for washing vegetables can be used to water the plants.
Other Tips to Conserve Water at Home and Workplace
While the above-mentioned water conservation methods are crucial ways to conserve water, you can also learn some simple daily tips to contribute further:
- In your shower, kitchen sink and basins, install water-efficient accessories to reduce water usage.
- While brushing, shaving or washing your hands with soap, turn off the water to avoid wastage.
- Instead of using running water to clean your vegetables and fruits, soak them for a while in a bowl of water to rinse off later.
- Similarly, defrost your frozen food packs in a bowl of water or leave them outside 1-2 hours before you start cooking or eating.
- Regularly check the pipes, taps and toilet flushes for leakages. To be aware, add a little food colour into the tank so that if there’s leakage, colour droplets will appear on the floor.
We at Protech understand the importance of water conservation and other significant requirements to save the planet. Hence, we ensure taking careful measures to implement the same in our various residential and commercial properties. Our engineers make it a point to install only high-quality accessories in the kitchens and bathrooms to avoid water leakage as well as inconvenience for you and your family.

If there’s a lack of space, hang the planters from the ceiling in different corners. You can also choose to select colourful or different patterned planters to set a unique look.
Add Textures and Paintings
The addition of creative pieces sets an all different mood. Wall patterns or paintings come in several shapes and designs including subtle, bold and mixed. You can add art pieces such as a mandala, traditional or contemporary framed art pieces or stunning wall murals. Another option is to get inspiring quotes or positive affirmations framed in different sizes and hanging them on the walls to create a motivated and gorgeous vibe.
Set the Mood with Lights
Apart from the ergonomic furniture and gorgeous pieces of art, lighting also plays a crucial role in acing the commercial interior designing goals. Not only do lights help ace your home décor goals, but also your workspace. While it is significant to choose comfortable lights to not strain the eyes with long hours of work, ensure to invest in options that meet with the rest of your interior design plan. Bring the possibility of setting up work stations next to the window as natural lights play well in productivity as well as a positive-looking atmosphere.
