MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON 21ST AUGUST 2010 AT LA HABITAT
VENUE : CENTRAL LAWNS
TIME : 9 PM
Attendance was taken on arrival and the first agenda came up for discussion was to decide whether to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi. While some said yes, a majority said if at all we need to celebrate, it should be in full faith. Some members said we should wait for more members to move in and then start the celebration from next year. Other few opined that such celebrations with very short intervals in between would be a burden on the members since Navratri is also around the corner. Already we had an Independence Day celebrations.
Before we go to the festivities, let’s also see another important point that was debated vigorously. As you may know there are mushrooming Guest Houses and PG Accommodation facilities coming up at La Habitat. While in some areas it is very common where there are independent entries (independent bungalows facing main road etc) but not the case at La Habitat. There were heated discussions on this and a resolution was passed unanimously to ban this practice from La Habitat. The following are the exceptions:
1. The flat can be leased/rented to any corporate house/company or individuals. While in case of individuals, only families allowed. In case of single bachelors, please prove their employment details. PG accommodation and group of bachelors/students are strictly not allowed.
2. In case of corporate, the flat can be used for their employee and their family. But it cannot be used as a transit home where every morning or every week there is a new person coming in and going out. La Habitat cannot be another transit home or a Hotel. All such plans or future plans will have to shelved with immediate effect.
3. In all cases, police registration is a must. The house owners should submit a copy of the rent agreement and police registration details before the tenant moves in.
Now back to where we began. Ganesh Chaturthi has never been associated with any particular religion when the idea was initially floated. It later got monopolized by certain sections/state/religion. Most of the members agreed with this and decided to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi this year on a low profile. Contribution will be intimated to you once the budget is fixed. The following is the structure of the Organising Committee:
MR.RAKESH BHATTACHARJEE A/8 -101 CHAIRPERSON
MR.SUMIT SETHI A/6 -302 COMMITTEE MEMBER
MR.SANDIP SUTHAR B/3- 301 - " -
MR.AMBRISH CHOWDHARY A/9 - 201 - " -
MR.SHISHIR MEHTA A/9 - 302 - " -
Navratri celebrations are also being planned. However, a new OC will run and its formation will be intimated in due course.
Some of the members who have not attended this meeting will question the validity of this resolution. Please note that this is a resolution passed by a simple majority and LAAC is only communicating to the members. From the sublime to the ridiculous is only one step. Let's discipline ourselves before someone else does.
