Chi (pronounced chee) is the fundamental principle without which Feng Shui (nor anyone, for that matter) cannot exist. Chi, a Chinese word that has no direct translation in English, holds several meanings at once: cosmic energy, life force, breath, and vapor. Chi is the invisible energy that animates all living things. Chi flows continuously: through pathways (or meridians) in your body (the practices of acupuncture and Asian medicine are based on these flows); through your home, through the Earth, the heavens, the atmosphere, and the cosmos. Chi is the flow of life itself, and if the chi stopped flowing through you for even one second, you would cease to live.

The chi of homes can vary widely, depending on the energies of the residents and the general and specific details of the structure and the lot. The interaction between the chi of a living environment and the chi of the humans within this space is Feng Shui; the house itself and the people living in it synergistically create the house chi, which in turn continuously affects and conditions the residents' energy, actions, and to some degree, their destinies. Amazingly, the way your home is situated can mean the difference between experiencing long-term happiness and good fortune versus enduring missed opportunities and a more-difficult life path. Deciding between these two options and taking concrete actions to bring about the one you desire is the purpose of Feng Shui.

The energy of the Earth is divided into many categories; Feng Shui masters have delineated hundreds of specific distinctions about the types of chi of different pieces of land. The most important distinction in Feng Shui is whether the energy (chi) of a parcel of land is healthy and supportive of the humans who live in the area. At the extreme ends of the spectrum, the chi of the earth can be two forms:

Lively, vibrant, and nourishing: This type of chi is abundant in locations like Hawaii, in old-growth redwood forests, or by healthy, moving streams. Such an environment generates a great deal of negative ions (which are actually positive for your health), contains high levels of oxygen, and helps create a positive mental attitude.

Arid, barren, and hostile: The chi in these conditions is unsupportive of human life and can actually drain life from the people who stay in the area for long periods of time. These locations may feature negative magnetic fields, unbearable temperatures (hot or cold), and a lack of life forms. Examples include the Arctic and Antarctica, the Gobi Desert, Death Valley, and the Dead Sea (the names of these last two are certainly no coincidence!).

The flow of chi in your environment affects every area of your life, influencing your health, your outlook, your decision-making, and even your sex life. The flow of chi in turn is influenced by the interior and exterior elements of the physical environment. Colors, shapes, orientation, lighting, objects and their positions and arrangements, the use of space, and the degree of cleanliness or clutter all impact and collectively determine your home's energy flow. And this flow (or lack of flow) affects you continually, conditions your experience in your home and workplace, and significantly influences your future for good or for ill.

A lot can be done in our Garden areas to enhance the CHI of the house or apartment. Placement of flowering plants, designing the landscape and drawing in the energy into the house is an ancient Chinese technique.

Beautiful gardens are like wonderful rooms. They have elements that include texture color, height, sight, smell and sound--elements that carry or evoke an emotion, a memory or a message. That's the power of a special room or a garden--the power of feng shui. By simply placing a flower or a sculpture in a particular place, a mood is planted.

The key to feng shui is chi, or energy. Feng means wind, shui means water, which implies movement. Feng shui practioners believe that good feng shui develops when your designs reflect nature. This can be achieved by planting flowers in clusters or by scattering them randomly through the garden. Plants growing in lines move energy through the garden too quickly.

And color plays an important role, too. Select colors that make you feel good. Each color has some meaning. For example, fame and reputation are represented by red, so a feng shui garden might concentrate red plants and objects in an area for better fame and reputation. Yellow is the color for health and healing. Purple represents money, wealth and prosperity. Pink is associated with relationships and marriage, and if this interests you, plant some peonies: In the Chinese system, peonies represent longevity in a relationship.

Besides choosing certain colors and plants, there's another way to add good energy to your garden, and that's with sculpture. Adding items that are special to you, that come from a special place, or that you've received as gifts creates a personal commitment to the space. When you walk by, you are reminded of a special person or place.

Indian construction industry is all set to become $180 billion sector by 2020 from its present size of 50 billion dollar, said an PHDCCI study. This projection was made on the assumption of 6-7 per cent annual growth for the domestic construction industry. With recent emphasis by policy makers in developing adequate infrastructure in the country, the study said time was ideal for the sector to propel national economy on a higher growth trajectory, by maximising performance and operational efficiency. The study also pointed out that India needed an investment of 35 billion dollar for road development in the next eight years, which already had received a boost due to job-generating Golden Quadrilateral projects, 55 billion dollars to install new telecom networks in the next 12 years and eight billion dollars to modernise ports. At the same time, new opportunities were arising for the construction industry in the aviation sector as air passenger traffic was expected to double by 2006 and an investment of three billion will be made in the next decade.
