NOIDA is an acronym for New Okhla Industrial Development Authority. In today's world when short message texting is the latest fad and part necessity imposed by word limits, almost everyone is warming up to the idea of shortening the words. Noida city is flag bearer of this trend - how cool is that!
Modern in its town planning with large open spaces, immense green cover and world class infrastructure, Noida is the IT hub of North India. Flanked by river Yamuna on one side, it is a beautiful city with a mix of high rise buildings and sprawling bungalows.
The Mall Street, flanked on both sides with huge malls on the MPII (Master Plan II) road of Sector 18-38A, convincingly earns Noida the moniker of 'City of Malls'. Mall Street along with markets in posh Sector 18 and Atta market is any 'Shopper's delight'. The Great India Place Mall along with other properties in the Entertainment City of Sector 38A makes it the best hangout for people of all ages. Newest addition, DLF Mall of India touted as the biggest mall in India, is serious competition on the block.
Life in the city is pretty laid-back yet being the suburb of national capital Delhi, there is hustle-bustle all year round. Not to forget the events calendar! Noida's event calendar is choc-a-block full throughout the year with lovely flower shows, car rallies and expo, music events, fairs and festivals celebrated with full fervor.
Noida is the hub of construction activity, with several infra and housing projects underway. Fast-paced development that is happening in the city contrasts beautifully the easy-going attitude of city dwellers, who are much rooted to their place and culture. The city seems constantly building and in the process growing and changing. This exactly reflects our lives, constantly growing and embracing the change moulding our character.
Well connected with metro rail and numerous flyways Noida is home to people escaping the crowded alleys of national capital for better quality of life. We too moved here from Delhi nearly a decade back and it feels home. Noida is my Heimat.
See where others feel at home. Discover their Heimat!
!Heimat (pronounced [ˈhaɪmat]) is a German word with no English equivalent. It is a feeling that this is the place where you belong?!

ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
You bet! Thanks for stopping by Photo Cache!
DeleteWhen we moved to Noida, I was very apprehensive. We were warned too because of the crime rate in the city. But after living there for a little over a year, I love it. It's one of the best cities in India. We lived in sector 55.
ReplyDeleteSaru, I remember you told me about your stay in Noida earlier...and I am glad you liked the city as well :) In fact, even we were apprehensive in the beginning...but over the years I have also fallen in love with this place. Law and order situation, I feel, is much better here than any other part of NCR. Much is being done with the cooperation of the residents.
DeleteI agree. It's better than other parts of NCR.
DeleteBushra when I read Heimat, I remembered my old German lessons :D this title is so appealing...
DeleteI do not know about flower shows etc in Noida, but If i was in Delhi now, I would have poked you to tell me about some good events that I could attend.
@Saru- my nana nanis home is in sector 56 :)
Missed a chance to meet you!
Hey Shesha! Welcome to my blog...I am glad you could relate to the title of the post in your own way :D
DeleteHa ha, love that your Heimat has a name NOIDA that is an acronym! I like the sound of the event calendar.
ReplyDeleteNoida is a place which is always buzzing with activity. In fact, sometimes we are spoilt for choice when it comes to events :)
DeleteSeems a very good city to leave. Never visited Noida.
ReplyDeleteI am much in love with the city...seeing the positives always :) There is a flip side to the development saga, like every story, but that does not deter the pace of growth in the city. It is a nice place to visit.
DeleteI learned two new things from this post. First, the German word Heimat and second that Noida is an acronym. An informative post indeed. Thanks, Bushra, for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad for this, Ravish :)Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate much!
