Summary of Housing History (1973 – 2025)

Your housing history reflects five major phases, closely tied to your career progression, family growth, and eventual goal of home ownership, encompassing 23 distinct residences.

Phase 1: Rapid Transitions and Early Career (1973–1976)

This period covers your graduation and the first three years of your engineering career, characterized by frequent moves, hostels, and early married life.

  • Residences 1–6 (6 Moves): From your childhood home in Lashkar, Gwalior, through hostels in Haridwar, a single home in Obra, and brief rentals/stays with family in Delhi.

Phase 2: BHEL Stability and Final Moves (1976–1983)

After initial turbulence, you established your first proper family homes in Obra. This phase concludes with your final moves under BHEL.

  • Residences 7–9 (Obra Quarters): Progression through three different BHEL quarters in Obra, where your daughter was born.

  • Residence 10 (Ropar Quarter): A short final BHEL assignment in Ropar before joining NTPC.

Phase 3: NTPC & Delhi/Vindhyanagar (1983–1996)

This phase covers your major career shift to NTPC, involving corporate office life in Delhi and a significant long-term posting in Central India.

  • Residences 11–12 (Delhi Rentals): Two separate flats in Delhi (Janak Puri and Kailash Colony) while working at the NTPC office.

  • Residences 13–15 (Vindhyanagar Quarters): Two quarters in Vindhyanagar (the large permanent duplex, D33, being the most significant), followed by a move to a single room (Narmada Bhavan) as your family relocated to your new Delhi flat.

Phase 4: Anchor Home and Project Assignments (1996–2012)

The acquisition of your own flat created a stable anchor (Ankur Apartments) that was interspersed with specific project assignments.

  • Residences 16, 19, 22 (Ankur Apartments): The owned flat served as your central home base during three separate periods.

  • Residences 17–18 (Korba): Two rented houses for the Alstom project.

  • Residences 20–21 (Jharsuguda): A company-allotted bachelor room, then a family flat, for the Steag assignment.

Phase 5: The Final Home (2012–2025)

This is the final, strategic move to a new permanent home after many years of professional travel.

  • Residence 23 (Bhopal): After a long final residency in your Delhi flat (Residence #22), you executed the sale and completed your move into your current home, Canal Kinship in Salaiya, Bhopal.
