India, like many other parts of the world is zooming away in the face of a real estate boom. In India there is a real estate boom in any direction you wish to see. Whether it is Bangalore, Goa, Pune, Calcutta or Chennai or Hyderabad or even already sky high Mumbai and Delhi - the story is the same.
Now apartments are more than just houses. They are about lifestyle. So while the first housing colonies had nothing but a security guard, these new housing colonies have a gym (spa, Jacuzzi, steam), swimming pool (heated, lined with Italian marble).
Some have a multiplex, shopping complex. There are those which offer a servant entrance.
