ABA Corp sets tone for Best Practices in Greater Noida West

Driving down the Noida-Greater Noida property market in general and the Greater Noida West, better known as Noida Extension in popular parlance, could be a delightful rendezvous for any news hungry journalist. Which scribe won’t want a dose of controversy and sensationalism for filing a juicy story? And this market has it all – housing project delays, defaults, cheating, harassment, builders’ high handedness, blatant lies with oozing confidence, and last but not the least, consumer protest all around.

Unfair Contract is a disease: Advocate Nirmit Srivastav

In India, the moment you buy a house the joke is on you – whether you get the possession of the house, or that possession is delayed or even denied. The buyers’ harassment starts with the Builder Buyer Agreement which in most of the cases is a one-sided document. The buyers mostly have no other choice but to sign on the dotted lines, because by the time the Builder Buyer Agreement is thrown at their face they have already paid the initial booking amount.

Grow up beyond #BoycottRaviSinha PR Folks

But wait! I suppose the recent Ravi Sinha Uncensored has only added fuel to the fire that you all had in you for a number of years now. I do understand that a journalist like Ravi Sinha bruises your ego and inferiority complex of not being treated with respect. I suppose you are being sandwiched at both the ends – on the one hand a nasty journalist like me showing you the mirror and at the same time you get bulldozed by the unreasonable client demands. Isn’t it?

Certified guarantee of positive coverage is not journalism

I have taken up the challenging practice of evaluating the performance of the real estate companies through rating the respective brands. I often hear two very different voices about my professional existence within the sector. A group of developers, though minority community, not only take the learnings out of the rating & ranking but also endorse that the sector needs someone like me for the larger interests of the business.

Honest journalism needs honest eco system

I often question how will honest journalism survive in this eco system. It is not that I don’t face the challenges and resistance of not being a party to this cartel of corruption. Forget the builders, even a large section of builders’ ‘paid & pet’ journalists have issues with me. I am, after all, a game spoiler for them who is spreading the negativity with brutal honest and ruthless journalism.

Why I am most hated journalist?

It is not that I don’t know about it; I don’t care about it. I have rather consciously developed this image over the years. I am never ashamed or apologetic about my identity or public perception. I very much enjoy the fact that not so professionals within the built environment, fellow corrupt journalists, shady builders and most stupid breed of PR and Corporate Communication specialists (sic) maintain a safe distance with a rude journalist like me.
