Moving in


I have finally done it...moved into a pad of my own....always envisioned grand images of a sprawling living room, of a french window that opens out into a beautiful garden, flowing white curtains, a spiral staircase into a hidden attic which would double as my personal retreat....hmmmm....sighhh.

Not that its so small like the picture above suggests...The reality is that i got a one bedroom flat in Besant nagar. The word tiny doesnt seem to start to explain the character of the place. one bedroom, one, living room out of which a part has been carved out to form a kitchen. one bathroom...and what a bathroom. the bathroom is actually bigger than the kitchen...but that is all that is good about it. The water pressure is so weak that i dont get a shower there but a trickle if i am lucky.... good thing that its a bachelor pad since the door is of the latest security specs....needs to be lifted and put in place.

oh i forgot the balcony...possibly the best part of the place and the reason why i handed out the dough for the advance.. pretty small one...barely two by four feet...but in the evening one can hear the tilting voices of twenty somethings walking around in the neighboring apartment complex....sigh makes it all worth.

Hold on for more on my adventures at my new place...also looking for a good name...suggestions please
