In Bombay, the higher up your house the more you pay. For example, in one of the places we’ve looked at, there’s a floor rise cost of INR 20 per sq. ft. So, basically, a 1000 sq. ft. flat in the 17^th floor would cost around INR 300,000 more than the flat in the lowest floor (2^nd).

When I was in Chennai, my friend who was taking me around, pointed me to a bunch of buildings where, apparently, a lot of Tamil movie songs are shot (Chennai’s Hiranandani, I guess). Out of curiosity I asked him how much a flat there’d cost. He said something, and added that the higher up you go the cost decreases. If that’s true, well, Chennai is probably new to the living-in-a-flat thing.

That’ll change.

Oh yeah, in Bombay now.
