“Aavaas” is a Sanskrit word which denotes “home”.
Aavaas was started with one purpose – To raise the standards on Indian homes. Today there exists a huge gap between a comfortable home and reality. Our take is that the four walls and ceiling just make the house. What turns it into a home is the character of people occupying it.
“A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”
It is hardly enough if we find a good location for our house. Most of the effort in terms of making it livable comes afterwards. We are sure most of us have had experiences that we might want to share with others on this front, so that the community as a whole benefits.

Why ”Aavaas”?
आवास
Many reasons prompted us to choose this name. We wanted to have a simple yet effective name to convey the central theme of this site – “home”. The root of the word is “aavaasa” which meant home in Sanskrit.
Team Aavaas

Vivek is located in Mumbai Chennai. He stumbled upon the fact that there is a lack of information for Indian Homemakers on the Internet. Hence Aavaas was born. He writes content for the site and also maintains the back-end infrastructure to keep the site going. Vivek loves to experiment and the site is a testimony to this fact. He is open to feedback and suggestions and can be reached via details on the contact page.

Great idea for a blog
It’ll be really nice if you can guys can think of more more visually rich content. More images, perhaps even floorplans (try floorplanner.com) and invite your readers to submit photos of their home/decor/ideas etc at some point when your readership grows.
Ill get back to you guys for the royalty when your site hits reach 1000 a day 
Damn…too many ideas for free eh
You have got to change the header image. Something more homely.
Hi Krishashok
At the moment we are focussing on the content. Messing the header image would not be a priority now. Besides it is tough to fit the same dimension with an image without compromising on the resolution/clarity.
If you think there is an image we could use, let us know and we would be glad to comply.
@ Krishashok
Thanks for the floor planner tip. Am looking into it right now !
The header’s the first thing any reader looks at. Usability studies prove that
Ill look around for something suitable. Wordpress headers are pretty easy to come by
thanks krishashok
Hey, I agree with Krishashok. You need to work on the header.
For the rest, the site is interesting….
Nice,informative blog! Keep blogging..
cheers,

I like the new header image with the house!
And I found the articles about the modular kitchens very interesting.
Cheers,
Kathy
@krishashok and nova
Hope you like the new header. Although not too good looking, it probably conveys the meaning now.
@ Ramesh
Many thanks for your kind words. we hope to improve our content further.
@ kathy
keep reading. it will get better and better !
Nice blog! Good concept. Carry on. Wish you all the best. Warm regards
It is really very nice. And good and nice informations wew posted. Great
Hey, Nice work. Good concept. Will surely prove fruitful. Good luck. btw, i think the right pane with all the links can do with darker colors. Quite difficult to read. (or is it just my eye??
)
@ Vibushan
thank you for your kind words. The right pane is a bit light. We will try and change the theme to make it darker. Keep reading and spread the word.
@ all
Would love to hear your comments on the new site layout. I know that a header is missing. Let me know if it is readable and ok otherwise.
