The five Elements or the Paanchbhootas which are embedded in almost all materials in the world are used by Vaastu Shastra to diminish the problems of occupants. Location of doors, windows, color scheme, flooring patterns, planting of trees - all these parameters play an important role in enhancing the energy field of a human being to live in harmony with nature.
History says that Vishwakarma had first of all given the methods of construction and decoration of buildings. It is known as Vaastu Shastra or the architecture. References to these methods and art are found in the sources of ancient Indian culture such as the Vedas, Purans , Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Sanskrit epics. It is believed that the orientation or direction of a building, according to Vaastu is planned on the basis of the rotational setting of the planets and those buildings that are not planned keeping in mind the orientation and not constructed with suitable building materials as proposed by Vaastu see their decline to ruins much faster than those built otherwise. This is the main reason why most of the builders are following these vaastu measures during the construction of houses in Chennai.]]> avanish 9/11- express your feelings Wed, 09 May 2012 02:09:53 -0700 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,94244,94244#msg-94244 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,94244,94244#msg-94244

There is so much choice in Manhattan we would really appreciate any recommendations at all!
The wedding party would be 13 - 17 people people in total, Although we would like a fairly private section in a restaurant, I don't think a private room is needed.
What would be most important would be a really good atmosphere, excellent service and food, and ideally a place for us to stay well into the night!

I was hoping I could get recommendations because there is such a large choice, and it is hard to gauge atmosphere from online reviews!

Popular developers of Chennai are now offering variety of duplex apartments. The reason is that planning rules them to mark out a certain space of family units whereas the duplexes qualify in this regard. Now Duplex projects have been introduced in Chennai and became popular in smaller towns as well. Offering a segregation of space and permitting their integration through vertically flowing space linking the lower and upper floors demarcating the formal and informal living areas. By splitting the floor plate at two levels the window area per unit floor area gets doubled. It will make the space more airy and bright. These residential properties in Chennai attracting people because it is not just gaining popularity for the comfort factor but also has lesser insurance cost. It's a great assistance to senior citizens who get a chance to remain in a large family and also get their own private space.]]> avanish 9/11- express your feelings Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:14:55 -0700 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93676,93676#msg-93676 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93676,93676#msg-93676 www.tribecafilm.com]]]> askanewyorker Ask a New Yorker a Question Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:28:46 -0700 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93675,93675#msg-93675 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93675,93675#msg-93675

We might be visiting midtown Manhattan, and my friend has never seen a beach.. Ideally I'd take him to Montauk but we don't have the time, so I'm considering Long Beach. I can't find much information about how safe it is at night.

We'd be going to the beach probably a little past midnight and coming back around 6am (unfortunately the only time slot we have left). I've never taken the subway in new york day or night so I don't know how true the rumors are.

I've found some subway tips, but can any of you tell me anything about Long Island beach at night? Safe? Do you still have to pay $12 to get in? Are we even allowed to be there at night? Is the roundtrip fare still $18 or has that changed?

With space at a premium in New York it can be hard to know what to do with excess stock, furniture, goods, or indeed anything. Whether you are looking to move house but need somewhere to hold your furniture for a month or two in the meantime, or whether you are a business looking for long term commercial storage, the chances are that it’s going to work out much more cost effective to use a company that specializes in New York Self Storage rather than to pay for premises yourself.
Using self storage allows you to cheaply and easily store whatever it is that’s cluttering up your personal or business life without the need to take out expensive leases, purchase new space or commit to long contracts. Simply store your boxes, items of furniture, old goods, or even your vehicles and pay one simple low monthly fee. The real beauty of self storage is that you can then go and access your goods whenever you wish.
Using self storage also allows for plenty of flexibility. If you are a growing business in need of extra space then it can be hard to know how much space to commit to. This can make renting new, bigger premises a tricky decision. By using self storage you can start off renting a small place that is suitable for today’s needs but take comfort in the knowledge that as and when your business grows, you can indeed increase the amount of space that you have available to you in your self storage facility too! This allows for maximum flexibility, minimum outlay and superior cost-effectiveness.
Uncle Bob’s Self Storage provides all types of storage solutions from vehicle storage through to commercial storage and can even help with truck rental and moving boxes.]]> askanewyorker Ask a New Yorker a Question Wed, 28 Mar 2012 04:29:48 -0700 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93401,93401#msg-93401 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93401,93401#msg-93401 Kelly Ask a New Yorker a Question Thu, 29 Mar 2012 03:49:47 -0700 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93389,93389#msg-93389 http://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?34,93389,93389#msg-93389
