House-hunt

When all our friend and colleagues are settled down in their own sweet home, we are still hunting for rented apartments.
Anyways after a long search and loads of negotiation we finally found a place for our next move. It is a specious 3 bedroom flat in a very good apartment.

Hope we all will enjoy....we have to (paying a lot for this one :-))

The only thing that annoyed me a lot during this whole house hunt was the people's expectations for the rent. I'm unable to understand if a person has spent 2 lakhs or 5 lakhs on the flats woodwork, why tenants are supposed to pay 2-3 thousand extra for that?
Tenants are just the users, whether the cupboards are made of Tropical wood or Teak wood, they are actually not bothered.

My message to all the landlords waiting with their vacant flats - you can't expect anyone to pay 15k for a ground floor 2 bhk in without amenities apartment even though you have spent 6 lakhs for interiors. Be realistic!!!

Life is all about changes

Once again I'm going through a changing phase....everything around me is going to change.

Daughter is joining a school...company is shifting to another building. I'm moving to another place so that I can be near to her school as well as my company also.

The only good thing about all these changes is.....daughter (I'll call her Matto henceforth :)) will not have to go to daycare. After coming from school, she can be at home and play with apartment's kids. Hired a maid who will take care to her after school hours.
Not sure how this arrangement will work out....but I'm hoping for the best.

Introduction to the virtual world

Here is my first post on my blog.

I'm a mother of a 4 years angel....married to a amazing person.....after 6 years of courtship (soon gonna to complete 7 years of marriage) and yeah I'm a software professional also.


Life is tough for a working mother and living in metros makes it little (or a lot more) difficult.
I took a sabattical after her birth and enjoyed long 18 months at home.
Then after seeing all my friends back to work I also fell in that trap and joined workforce leaving my daughter with MIL and then evenually in daycare.

Thats it about me...more will follow.
