New Home, New Life


I am writing after two months. This time I took little longer break than usual. Few things have changed in last two months. First I came back to Chennai immediately after last post. Second, I searched for new home and found one. This is my second rented home in Chennai.  Searching home was not that difficult for me this time. I knew exactly what I am looking for in new home. Thanks to so many online portals available, it is very easy to find home. Though searching was easy, shifting was not that easy. To shift all our furniture inside city I found some packers (?) and movers. They quote at pretty competitive rate. So I chose one from three options that I had. But when they came for shifting they didn’t even had packing tape. Luckily my wife anticipated it and did almost all packing by herself. They just came and shifted it from one place to another. I think they are new in business. Anyway shifting completed without much trouble.

All the trouble that I took was worth though.  New home has advance amenities, bigger space, better ventilation and light and of course more cost. Only problem with this home is small kitchen. But I have seen, even latest and costliest apartments have small kitchen in Chennai. I don’t know the reason. Somebody can tell me it. Although this kitchen is much better and equipped with all necessary tools for cooking in general. There is one better thing in this home. From one of the bedroom window, I am able to see all the greenery. There are two big trees. But it is full of different types of birds, squirrels and many other small creatures. It is the whole ecosystem that can be observed. Plus there is one bonus, cool breeze.

So I am starting new life experience in Chennai in new Home. Certainly changing home has changed things in life especially for my family, in a better way. I always feel the place where you live should be better. It changes everything.

Public Transpotation in Paris

Paris is famous for its museum, for Eiffel tower, as a city of romance but also it is famous for its best ever public transport service. City is divided in various zones. There are four ways of transportation, bus, metro, tram and RER (it is a railway). But the best part is they are well connected with each other. For regular travelers it is possible to buy just one Navigo card. It is the pass or card, by using which it is possible to travel by any of the above means in any zone of the city. So good thing is, it is literally possible to travel at any part of the city without carrying a single cent for complete one month.  Based on zones and the tracks of metro, tram etc. city maps are available. These maps are elaborate and self-explanatory. Once understood how to read, then it is possible to roam at any part of city without opening mouth. Tram or metro are running at every 3 to 5 minutes. So waiting is minimal. Inside the metro, or tram or RER, all stations on that root ...

Three things I Like About Chennai

I am living in Chennai for about six months now and I was thinking what are the good thing I like about Chennai. Few things quickly popped in my mind. I am mentioning them here.  I. People are sincere about their work I will call Chennaikars to people of Chennai, who are living in Chennai irrespective of their age, gender, native place, language etc. I feel Chennaikars are much sincere about their work. It doesn’t matter what work they do. May it be engineers, doctors, any other workers. It can be observed easily when we go to any shop, tea stall, hotel etc. Just to give example, I happened to go to two different doctors few months back.  At the first doctor's place we paid consultation fees, after consultation doctor found that there is nothing wrong. So he asked reception to return money. This was new experience to me. At other time, at other doctor’s place, when doctor found patient is not cured by his medicine, he gave free consultation and medicines next t...

Karla Caves

Last Saturday and weekend, we decided to go for a short trip near Pune towards Mumbai at Lonavala (60KM). On the way of Lonavala there is a small tourist attraction. Karla caves. Compare to Ajanta Ellora it is very small. However, the carvings, sculptures never stops to amaze me.  If you start from Pune, then it is 6KM before reaching Lonavala. It takes 15 - 20 minutes trek and you would reach the mountain top to find Karla caves in front of you. It is protected by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India). Number of caves is small probably less than 10 but still they are amazing. If you happen to travel in rainy season, natural waterfalls are active and they are falling in front of caves. Caves mainly can be divided in two parts. One part is temple and other parts are rooms for devotees.  You should certainly plan the visit. It will give you mesmerizing experience and some great memories.  Here are some glimpse of beauty...I am sure you will visit there.
