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.

Weekend at Pondicherry

Few days ago I went to Pondicherry or Puducherry with family. It was French colony before Independence. Pondicherry is at about 160 kms from Chennai. It is favorite trip destination for various reasons. There are some beautiful beaches, rocky beaches. You can buy any brand of bear, whiskey, vodka etc. at cheaper rates. In Chennai you won't get all brands as it's restricted by state government. So many people go for enjoying hard drinks. Pondicherry still have French flavor in its life. The old buildings have French architectural touch. Policeman caps resembles that with French police. Even some Church resemble with saint Notre Dame at Paris. I stayed at Green Palace hotel. It was really great place to stay. They have studied French hotels very well. I received all the services that I use to get in Paris. Resemblance is astonishing. At approximately 2kms from hotel there is a very good Rock beach. The place is great. There is a road parallel to the beach where you can ta...

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 ...

Mahabalipuram: The Land of Mahabali

I am writing again after another six months. I have to keep visiting here regular. Actually, initial plan was to add at least one post per month but it appears that even it is difficult. I will try to stick this plan although lot of things coming up in next few days. I will discuss it in next post. I started this blog to share my experiences in life, wherever I stay. Currently I am in Chennai and I am sharing my life here. I don’t want to make it a travel blog. Generally I tend to do that more may be it is human tendency . :)  Recently I visited Mahabalipuram a small town near Chennai just 55 Km away. It was second trip. When I first visited, I was thinking I am visiting just another temple place. For those who don’t know, there are many old and beautiful temples in Tamil-Nadu. But, I am not big fan of temples. Why? Well not now on this. I rather avoid discussing religious topics. Mahabalipuram is different and very beautiful place to visit. I am happy that I went there...
