I visited the iconic Bengaluru bookstore @bookworm_Kris this morning, days after its stock had been damaged by water seepage. I found its wonderful owner Krishna Gowda stoic and resolute. Good to see customers flocking in. I bought some books too.

Hailstorm hits #Bengaluru: Popular bookstore Bookworm Bookshop flooded, nearly 5,000 books damaged. Sudden rain and hailstones caused severe waterlogging, leading to heavy losses for the book store. #BengaluruRains

Thinking of buying a Ground Floor flat?
Read this before you decide.

Ground floor isn’t “bad.”
It’s quite harder to exit.

• 70% buyers reject GF instantly
• 15% consider but negotiate hard
• max 5% genuinely prefer it
That means your buyer pool is smaller from Day 1.

Why do people hesitate?
• Privacy concerns
• Security perception
• Dust / noise
• Lower light in dense projects

You may not care.

But your future buyer might.

And in real estate:
Perception = Liquidity.
Liquidity = Price.

So should you buy?
YES, if:
✅ You’re getting 10–20% discount vs mid floors (For investment)
✅ You have elderly parents
✅ It comes with a large private garden
✅ It’s a low-rise project
✅ You’re buying for long-term self-use with no resale concern

NO — if:
❌ You’re paying same price as higher floors
❌ You’re buying purely for resale
❌ It’s a high-density tower
❌ You expect fast flipping gains

Smart builders know this.
That’s why many convert ground floors into:
• Grand lobbies
• Amenities
• Retail frontage sometimes

They’re removing the weakest inventory.

Here’s the real rule for anything residential:
Don’t buy for your current convenience.
Buy for the person who has to buy it from you in 2035.

Ground floor isn’t wrong.
But it must be priced right.

Otherwise, you’re buying something that you can't sell.

Dear @BBMPofficial @BBMPAdmn @BBMPCOMM, Please advise your ARO to create e-Khata properly. Home buyers are harazed by them by not doing their job honestly. There are lot of bugs in e-Khata. We are chasing them and registering complaint, but not seeing swift action. Please help

[Tarun Firodiya @tarun_firodiya]

Today one of our users paid us MORE than they were supposed to.

Not a mistake. They genuinely loved the experience that much!

Whoever said Indians don’t pay.
