Chapter 11: Sky Blue Mansion 6th Jan

Though Prashant had collected all the information about the Sky Blue Mansion previously and knew that it is the largest mansion in the Middle region of the Greenview city and called the number one villa of the Middle region still he felt difficult to believe it himself. After all it was a ten thousand square feet mansion of which he was the sole owner and previously they only lived in a seven hundred square feet apartment. From that this was a stark contrast.

As they were contemplating about the situation and discussing among themselves a handsome tall middle aged man with full business attire came towards them from the mansion. Some of the security guards and two ladies were accompanying him.

The man came up to them and smiled politely and said "Is this the family of Mr. Prashant Aggarwal."

To which Prashant came forward and replied "Yes I am Prashant Agarwal. This is my father Mr. Vikram Agarwal, My Mom Mrs. Sambhavi Agarwal, My brother Mr. Mayank Agarwal and My sister Ms. Ria Agarwal."

The Man replied "Hello Mr. Agarwal I am Shawn from the Sky group industries and I have been looking at this Project of Building Sky Blue Mansion. Please accept my sincere greetings and welcome to the Sky Blue Mansion." Mr. Shawn waved his hands giving hints to the ladies behind him and they came forward and presented the bouquets to Prashant and his family and welcomed them to the mansion.

Prashant replied "Thank you Mr. Shawn." and then all of them followed Mr. Shawn towards the villa and their luggage was carried by the security guards of the Villa.

Mr. Shawn was actually waiting for them since morning when Prashant initially called the reception to know the address of the location. Mr. Shawn was an expert business man and had adequate soft skills. He has been working for more than twenty years and was very experienced in dealing with various peoples.

From the way the receptionist had described her conversation with Prashant he knew very well that Prashant was a very low key person after all despite having so much wealth he was coming from the Outer area of the Greenview City where no proper amenities were present. Thus Mr. Shawn had given orders about the information of minute details which are happening in front of the Sky Blue Mansion Gate.

And when his subordinates relayed him the information that a taxi had arrived with five people who had assembled in front of the Sky Blue Mansion he understood that the Owner of the Sky Blue Mansion must have arrived. Though his subordinates mentioned that these were only ordinary people in not so expensive clothing who came on public transport through taxi so they must not be the owners. Still he came up to the gate and checked the passersby.

When he looked at them he found that indeed these were people in normal clothing and did not even have their own cars so how can they be the Owners of Sky Blue Mansion but he still followed his own judgement and came out to greet them and found that indeed he was correct.

Once they were in they went to the reception area where the receptionist checked their Identity cards to verify them and fed their biometrics information in the system for them to freely wander around in the mansion.

Once all the formalities were done Mr. Shawn accompanied them and told them about all the details about the Sky Blue Mansion proudly after all he was the one who had overlooked the construction of the Sky Blue mansion. 

Mr. Shawn said: "This is a ten thousand square feet mansion which has made this mansion the largest one in the Middle Region of the Greenview city and also the Number one villa. The feature which had made this villa most advanced and unique than the others is that it is connected with the technology of IOT all over it which is Internet of things. Which means all the devices which are there in this villa are interlinked with each other. The Internet of Things (IoT) in a home refers to a network of connected devices that can communicate with each other and the cloud. Internet of Things devices can be used to automate tasks, provide information, and improve the quality of life for the homeowners. This means that this complete mansion is automatic and self reliable. Starting from a toothbrush to a car, Air conditioning, Fridge all are interconnected and pass on the data among themselves and work according to your needs."

Mr. Shawn further continued "This villa is fully automatic and has a dedicated AI software installed to the central unit of the house which can command all the devices in the house and the AI will be adhering to the commands of the people living in this villa only. Apart from that this villa has more than a hundred employees serving here which included maids, servants, cooks, security guards etc."

When Prashant heard that so many employees worked in this villa he wondered how much will be the salaries of each individual and became a bit worried whether he will be able to afford all their salaries since he only had a little more that a million dollars in his bank account at the moment which will be gone if he just paid their salaries.

As if answering his question which he never asked Mr. Shawn further said: "This mansion is ten thousand square feet in size and if you go across the street you will find the Sky Blue tower which is a ten story building on a two thousand square feet area which is a hotel and is also a part of this Sky Blue Mansion. This hotel generates enough remuneration to sustain the salaries of three to four hundred employees. So this mansion is totally self reliant."

Vikram and Sambhavi were listening to Mr. Shawn in awe due to first time having the feel of such grandeur.

Mr. Shawn said "This mansion had a dedicated Helipad to itself , a garage large enough to hold hundreds of cars and a complimentary Mercedes Benz is also their as the part of the offer in the garage , swimming pool, Its own home theater, There is a snow room where you can have the feel of Antarctic region and play snow balls, This mansion had a dedicated temple, Its own ice cream parlor, spa, ballroom, cinema, Gymnasium, Sky Blue hotel cum restaurant which is also a part of Sky Blue Mansion."

Once Mr. Shawn mentioned that it had its own Ice cream parlor Mayank and Ria became excited and then the whole family went to have Ice cream together. There were so many different flavors of Ice Cream available and all of them from the most expensive brand called the diamond Ice cream. Which they never thought they could afford one day.

All of them had four to five different flavors of Ice Cream and even the parents enjoyed them a lot.

Ria said "Wow so many varieties of Ice creams are there. I like the strawberry one the most. Yum Yum!"

Mayank said "Nah! This Butter scotch and chocolate flavored Ice creams are the best."

Sambhavi the mother of the two said "Try is tutti fruity Ice cream. This one is yummy and also good for health."

Vikram said "Nah! We should not differentiate between Ice cream. I like Tutti fruity, strawberry, Butter Scotch, Chocolate, vanilla and all other flavors when it comes to Ice Creams. So I will taste one scoop of each flavor."

Prashant looked at his family enjoying the ice cream and had a smile on his face since nothing was more important to him than seeing his family enjoying themselves like this. 

Prashant also joined them and had himself one scoop of Butter scotch ice cream and said "I also like all these flavors and I will taste each of these flavors like dad. Slurrrp"

Once they had their fill and enjoyed to their hearts content they followed Mr. Shawn for a complete tour of the sky blue mansion which took them almost four hours and it was already afternoon time for their lunch so they went to the hotel on the other side of the street which was a part of Sky Blue Mansion and entered the restaurant at the ground floor of the hotel and order Lunch. Mr. Shawn also joined them this time since all of them had insisted out of curtesy.

Vikram, Ria, Mayank and Prashant all had non vegetarian food and had ordered different dishes such as fish curry, chili chicken, Mutton Kosha with chapattis and rice while Sambhavi had only ordered some vegetarian food which had Rajma dal, Paneer curry and rice. They concluded the meal with some desserts.

After the meal Mr. Vikram who was Prashant's dad suggested "Lets go to the villa now and select our rooms. What do you say Prashant?"

Prashant said "Yes dad lets go."
