Play Schools near Orchid Enclave

School, school and school....

This was the only topic of discussion today among the mothers whom I met in the play area today. Since, it was my first day in the society, even I was keen in knowing about some schools for my three year old daughter. However, as most of the residents have recently moved (a month or less), no one was very sure about the schools in the vicinity.

So in order to figure out the right school for my kid, I did some research on play schools near Orchid Enclave. If you are one of the parents looking for a play school, just read on...

A Winning Start

So, the Orchid finally blossomed today....

What made me say that was the effort of the residents of Orchid Enclave to come together. Yes, the first informal meet of the residents was held today at Flat B- 1003.


There was a mix of known and unknown faces; people who have already shifted and people who are yet to shift. A brief intro brought us all to a common platform and the first unanimously taken decision was to have orchidenclavebng@google.com as a common group for all type of correspondence. 


Moving on, there were discussions on various topics ranging from Internet service provider to security and maintenance of the building. (PS- We'll keep the residents posted once any conclusions are drawn).

A mix of pleasant smiles, small surprises, witty one liners and hearty laughs, this one hour first meet of Orchid Enclave Residents was a milestone achieved.

Here are the names of some of the contributors to this winning start - Girish, Yug, Sumit, Arpan, Jitendra, Prasad, Nikhil, Varun, Rahul, Anil, Sabyasachi, Navid, Amar, Vikas, Satish, Hema. 

PS- I know I have missed out on some. Please feel free to write to me so that you are there in the list too...)

Our New Address - Orchid Enclave Whitefield

It feels great to announce that we have got a new address now :)

Yes you read it right. We will now be based at Orchid Enclave, Whitefield.

This blog is a small effort of mine in order to connect all the new residents of Orchid Enclave.

I know most of us have waited long to see our new house ready (FYI - We (me and my hubby) have been visiting every weekend since last two years and have seen it from a plain piece of land to 12 storey building which will house 132 families. I am sure there must be many more like us).

I intend to keep all the families posted about the new happening in the place through this blog and this would not be possible without everyone's help.

So guys, keep me posted about any info related to OE which you want to share with all. Pics and texts both are welcome.

You can write to me at - hemadhawan08@gmail.com

Happy Living!
