1.1.11 – Monthly Review for December 2010

Namaste PSAAWA members! Happy New Year! 1.1.11 is a good start to what will be a great year!

It has been three months since MC was re-constituted. This is the third monthly review (MR) … for December. The intent of this MR is to highlight the activities of PSAAWA and anchor the posts.

1. PSAAWA MC met for the Monthly Meet on 5th December, the first Sunday of the month, as usual. The MoM has all details and is with you.

2. The PPs and HP met IR at FH on Friday 10th December to discuss leftover issues of PSN Walkthrough dated 30.11.10 and get briefed on I-Day programme.

3. PSN Inauguration Day (I-Day) was organized by Prestige on Sunday 12th December 2010. Your HP and HS were invited on stage! Thus Prestige has officially and publicly recognized PSAAWA as the only Owners Association of PSN-Residential.

~1,500 people attended of which ~1,000 can be taken as PSN families. The videos of I-Day are uploaded by Premanand Mohapatra on his YouTube account – prem911.

4. PSAAWA MC met on Saturday 18th December 2010 to deliberate the draft byelaws. Many suggestions were noted. HS-Puru and HVP-Muthu were tasked with next draft for MC consideration at January monthly meet. The MoM of this MC meet is not posted yet.

5. SITAC (Special Issues Task Committee) met on Wednesday 29th December 2010 to discuss PSAAWA MC working, communications culture, challenges ahead and MC roadmap.

PSAAWA Cultural Committee successfully organized the first ever Xmas and New Year Celebrations at Central Park Club on Friday 31st December 2010. 400+ tickets were sold and with free entry to children the total attendance was 550+. There were performances by PSNites, great food, scintillating music and spectacular fireworks! Pictures shortly.

7. The next MC meet will be held on Sunday 9th January 2011. It is not being held on first Sunday 2nd Jan due to New Year weekend.

8. Prestige is consulting PSAAWA on important matters of PSN especially Club ops. Club Committee has been periodically updating MC members on the progress.

9. The first EGM of this MC tentatively scheduled for Sunday 9th January 2011, in line with your MC’s commitment to meet all members of PSAAWA every quarter, is postponed to Sunday 30th January 2011, since time is needed to prepare final byelaws. It is likely to be held at Central Park Club (CPC). The agenda includes change of name to Owners Association and the byelaws. Various committees too will present their reports. Please ensure you attend.

10. Various committees hold their own meeting at regular intervals to review the progress done and preview the pending tasks.

We welcome and value your feedback. The MC is listening! We are here because of you. Together let’s make PSN a ‘wow’ habitat … the very best condominium community in Bengaluru & India!

Latest on Clubhouse @ Prestige Shantiniketan

This comes from the Clubhouse Chairperson, who is tirelessly working to improve the experience of the residents and push Prestige to ensure that space in the Clubhouse @ Shantiniketan is put to the right and optimal use.

PSAAWA is being consulted by PPMS on these issues and given the opportunity to hear PSN owners/allottees word through PSAAWA.

Priority is being given to a convenience store, medical store and we are talking to many vendors. A 24×7 ambulance service with tie ups with nearby major hospitals for PSN kind of community is suggested.

For the Gym, identification for a vendor for is under way for all health and wellness related activities like gym, aerobics, swimming pool maintenance and all sports facilities maintenance. Trained instructors will be available for these facilities. Personal instructors can be available and will be charged separately on a per person basis.

Couple of vendor options discussed for restaurant and Cafe but none of them are finalized. There are few probable candidates and they are looking at the facilities.

PSN Inauguration Press Coverage

M. Narayanan, the gentleman who writes frequent emails exhorting all of us to join PSAAWA, the allottees association, the soon to be morphed into owner’s association, shares this link for Prestige Shantiniketan’s inauguration…

Prestige Shantiniketan (PSN) Inauguration Videos

It was a great ceremony with Shaan singing in the background. Makes us realize how many hits he has give over the years. I particularly enjoyed “Om Shanti Om” with “Om Shantiniketan” thrown in by the singer towards the end. I am sure Prestige officials would have send in a special request for the song “All iz well” :-)

Airtel in Prestige Shantiniketan

Right now, there are very limited choices available for telecom services in Prestige Shantiniketan.

PSAAWA has tried hard to get alternate cable, telephone service provide in PSN. Result is that prestige is in advanced stages of discussions to bring Airtel in the complex. Airtel is coming with their entire set of operations including phone, mobile signal boosters, DTH, IPTV, broadband etc. We have been informed by prestige that if everything goes well, Airtel should be in by end of January.

JUST MOVED INTO PSN

Harish (PSN 9041) and I (PSN 9042) moved into our apartments yesterday. It’s nice and peaceful here. Taking a walk around the Club house is a mood elevating experience. Watching the trains snake by behind our apartment has brought back memories of my childhood. The PSN helpdesk is responsive. Milk, newspaper, cable, BSNL, maid, car wash etc. are up and running. Our children go to NPS in Indiranagar. Would anybody living in PSN know if the school bus comes inside PSN? There are workmanship issues inside the apartment but the site engineer Ramakrishnan responds when nagged. I will join the site tour with Irfan and offer suggestions for improvement. I would like to sync up with the seniors in PSN to know where to get home delivery of provisions, vegetables, fish, chicken, beverages etc. When and where do you guys hangout?
