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.

Reality of Real Estate in India

Now days I do not happen to read news paper daily. Sometimes on weekends I get chance to read news papers. But, one thing I have noticed that first page or cover page, a page above front page which is full of property advertisement is reaching each home everyday. They have 1 BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK flats, row houses, farm houses, farm lands, and NA plots advertisement. Now days customers have hundreds of options. They have various budgets from so called cheap flats to luxurious flats with high budgets. They provide so many amenities. It’s a matter of research how many amenities are really needed and are used. They are present just as status symbols. People are paying so much money extra for these unused facilities.  I want to put my views here about whole real estate industry in India. Home is COSTLY (?) In India all businesses, industries, jobs are concentrated to few particular cities. I feel this is done deliberately to force people to stay, gather at one place. It is wel...

Holika Dhahan

There is March already, we have some festival coming in next few days. Today here at Maharastra we celebrate a festival "Holika". And tomorrow it is Festival of Holi (Festival of colors). Although Holi is becoming very popular festival internationally and many people visit India just to enjoy holi, this post is not about Holi but its about Holika. Note the difference in the name. I feel that all Indian festivals are designed so that people in society should gather and mix up with each other.  Good news is its holiday tomorrow and its a long weekend. After long time I will be celebrating Holika. It is very interesting festival. Like all other Hindu festivals, it is about victory of good over bad. This time it is about victory of good within over the evil within us. On internet there are many stories how Holika started and so I will not discuss it here. Indians believe that fire is pure. It burns evil and what remains is pure. Anything that survives fire is pure. W...

Walkathon

Recently there was a two month long event happened in my workplace. Two month is too big for an event but it was great. It was a competition of walking or Walkathon. So?  what is great about walkathon?  It's common now a days and happens everywhere. Well, but it happened in my company, it was two months long and it was executed with help of digital technology (supporting Digital India Drive 😀) and most importantly I participated in it 😋 and no...I did not win :( but I participated and walked 5.5 Lacs steps, around 335 Kilometers. This may not be accurate, but even with 10% error, it will be 300 Kms. Wow. Winners completed around 15 Lacs steps and 900 Kms. It was organized by my company in cooperation with another fitness club. We used google fit for measuring steps. And one another application for teams formation, and statistics. Here is it how it happened... All the employees of the company were divided in 12 groups, one Capton was selected for each team. And competiti...
