‘I refer to Vastu Shastra as the most important aspect,’ Amar Upadhyay

Whats your favourite spot in the houseMy favourite spot in the house is my temple room which has got only a temple theres no furniture at all There is just a small little fish tank in the room The whole garden is visible from the rear window of the temple and the window overlooks Lokhandwala back road to Malad and Borivali You can see the eastern mountains of Mumbai and sometimes I sit with coffee and look around the garden downstairs while enjoying the lovely breeze Its the northeast corner of my house it is very peaceful according to Vastu Shastra and a lot of beautiful birds sit by the window I do yoga sometimes I do my cardio there too thats my favourite place to hang out in the houseHow did you design this areaWe didnt design much my wife and I decided well only have the temple in the room We have six bedrooms in the house and we use four of them the rest are spare rooms So we decided to keep the temple in the north facing room as per Vastu temple should be in the east corner of the house and the back garden looks great from there and I dont want to spoil the view of the room by keeping any of the furniture there Sometimes my dad also does yoga there and we usually hang out over thereHow did you choose a colour schemeA couple of years back we had various colours like maroon yellow and green in the bedrooms We then thought of working with some simple decor and light colours once in a while so we decided to go with off white colour Earlier we had various colours on the wall it was looking a little different now it looks much better and everything is decided by me and my wifeWhats your favourite decor itemMy study room is my favourite place where I have an open book rack which is about three to four levels I am fond of reading fiction books though I have all kinds of books over there If I like any book I pick it up and read slowly as I find time At the moment I am reading one book which I bought three to four years back it was lying somewhere behind one of the other books So I was just going through my library and I found this one I have a small little desk and my son got his play station set up there I hang out there to send emails watch movies or videos on my boss chairWhats an ideal dayoff at home for youMy ideal day starts at 6 in the morning I get my bottle and I go for a run or I go for a long walk for at least 45 minutes Sometimes if I feel like I ate too much food at last nights dinner then I go for cycle ride like after completing my walk for 25 30 minutes I go around Andheri with my cycle and after coming back home first I take bath Then I have coffee with some sandwiches which are prepared by my wife Then I just chill around and watch something on Netflix After lunch I sleep for a while and see if the kids want to go outWhats the most important aspect while deciding about a houseI need to first refer to Vastu as the most important aspect of everything I do with my house first of all I just renovated two bathrooms in my house and I wanted to be very sure about it doesnt affect my Vastu if it does then what are the remedies So the most important aspect for me is Vastu as far as the house is concernedIf one ever visits your home the one thing they will be treated toSamosas jalebi khaman dhoklas amazing coffee which my wife makes masala chai and great hospitalityThe item one will always find in your pantryGreen tea lime honey and coffee I have all different kinds of coffees from different parts of the world I am not fond of tea much but green tea and coffee is something you will definitely find at our homeA series youre currently binging on when at homeCurrently I am watching the second season of the Black list and the film Meenakshi SundareshwarYour favourite gadgets at homeI am not fond of gadgets unlike like my son I just need WiFi and a fire stick connection then I am set to watch my seriesmovies but otherwise my son has a lot of stuffAlso Read Exclusive Even if Irsquom watching a film itrsquos with a certain agenda says Digangana Suryavanshi
