ORGANO KANDAWADA IS MY DREAM AND I WANT MY KIDS TO LIVE THAT DREAM

She recalls her childhood home in Madinaguda very fondly. “It was rustic. We had ample space around our house and my mom loved planting trees, grow vegetables and fruits. We had a decent farm right in our house. But as time passed, the area became a concrete jungle with heavy duty constructions coming up all around. There was so called `development’ which ruined the calm and peace and more importantly, the nature. Traffic was a mess. I felt sad when I saw what was happening all around us.

” Sandeep Reddy, her other half, agrees wholeheartedly, “Hyderabad has changed beyond recognition, but I guess it is the collateral damage of development. Our generation is still lucky we got to experience life with our grandparents in villages. The memories of spending time with my grandparents in pure village atmosphere, hanging out with cousins, enjoying rural life, are all precious to me and I will cherish them forever.

” After finding Organo online, Sushma took her family along to Naandi for a visit. But by then, they had paid the initial advance to the row house they’re currently living in. “I felt like I was dreaming when we walked around in Naandi because the founders had visualized and built everything I had dreamt of in a house. In fact, when I went there the first time, there wasn’t much in the project but in three years, it had transformed like magic. I keep narrating this story to everyone. I can’t stop marveling at the speed in which such a unique community had materialized. The credit obviously goes to the founders who not only conceived it but also developed it. And then we went to Antharam, and they had outdone themselves with the cluster houses and afforestation. It was like Naandi ver.2.So, you can imagine how elated I was when Kandawada was presented to us. It was luxury of a different kind. A luxury that goes beyond money and wealth.”

Adds Sandeep, “The founders know their target audience well. Must be their research or maybe their empathy for people. Kandawada is a mirror to their thought process, how they have developed the homes for joint families. It’s like bringing Indian culture back, the Indian family system is coming back thanks to them.”

 “As an architect what impresses me most is their sustainable design and the natural materials, they’ve used in building it,” she says. When their daughter was six months old, they walked into the developed Naandi. “And that was the first swimming pool she stepped into,” smiles the happy mother, “Everything in their communities is so pure, whether it is milk or vegetables, air or water, flora, or fauna. Organo Kandawada is my dream and I want my kids to live the dream life.”
