Found 2BHK

After a week of running around the Hitech City area, we finally found a good 2 BHK flat at a reasonable rent. We did Pooja on Friday morning and moved in with minimal stuff.

Last four months have been very disorganized as I was living at my parents house. Although I don't feel like a guest, I don't really feel at home either. I am looking forward to some breathing space at the new house.

Having run around looking for a house and exploring unknown localities, I have noticed something. Tell me if this happens to you. When looking for an address in a locality you are unfamiliar with, the amount of unnecessary distance travelled increases in orders of magnitude as you change your mode of transport from walking to bike to car.

a) If you are walking, after every 20 metres you stop and ask for instructions. You are acutely aware of every little side street, small road signs and if you feel lost, you just stop and look around and figure out where to go.

b) If you are on two-wheeler, you still experience the things around you but tend to not the apply the brakes and continue to coast while you get your bearings.

c) If you are in a car, you are cruising along, everything is moving in frames like on TV and that one particular building which was supposed to be there, isn't. You think it may be there further along the road and before you know you are a kilometre away from the building and it could take another kilometre before you accept that you missed it ;-)
