There are many
toughest jobs in the world and house shifting is one of the hardest and beyond
transporting things, there are certain things need to be addressed alongside the
postal address on subscribers, ration card, LPG cylinder, telephone, net… to
cause immense trouble. Unlike transporting the home appliances that takes one
or two trips to load and unload, the change in address and connections are an
unending annoy and tiresome take more than a week or sometime a month to
settle. Those who are constantly transferred according to their job placement
could well understand the toughness of reconnecting but for the only second
time yet to be relocated doesn't matter much though leaving a familiar place
and replacing things aren't easy.

There wasn't much urge to shift our home, but we go on wanted for an individual home since
we get to know there are few available in an area which I have passed many time
going to Palavakkam beach. I too wished it would have been nice having a home
there when passing that area sometime, how can I miss the chance that comes
involuntarily sniffing my mind! Lol But there was also a need to change home
for certain reasons that kept troubling from beginning, such as water and
parking. Our apartment doesn't have a metro water connection and so far water
is only bought through Lorries and filling up the sump once a week. Because of this situation many house owners
had left the apartment to rent somewhere leaving their house to rent.
The apartment
has parking facility for only certain houses and when the no-parking residents
also park their cars; there is heavy demand for parking space. Since we bought
a SUV (Scorpio), we can’t park it inside the parking space allotted for us
because the space is only favor for small cars to come in and out. We are
forced to park our car only outside the apartment complex and its high
annoyance when some other car parked there; we have to wait sometime for them
to move away or park somewhere. In the individual house that we are suppose to
move within a week troubleshoots both the problems and moreover it has number
of favorable things to cheer up life.
It was somehow
close to my dream home environment with enough space around the home, enclosed
with compound walls and separate gate for covered car parking and a small
portico to relax in evening and hustle and bustle free streets. The house is
just 700 meters away from the Palavakkam beach and lil far behind the
Kottivakkam KFC Restaurant on the eastern side of ECR (East Coast Road), is an
easy landmark for anyone visiting us. If you are passing the KFC restaurant,
don’t forget to stop by for a sip of coffee at my home :)
We have decided
to shift things on weekend following a small milk boiling morning on Thursday,
inviting the near ones alone. I especially like this individual house for the
open space around the building that supposed to support my interest on
gardening. There are already few trees around the house, including heat reducing
Neem Tree and flowering shrubs on neighborhood compound, brings hope on
inviting more birds and butterflies. I’m sure I’m going to miss my dear
kingfisher who I receive every day here, but I still hope I would get more
visitors like him there. There are number of tree around that area and I would
gladly restart my evening outing in wheel chair without any fear, since the
area is calm and free of pollution and vehicle traffic.
I didn't take
photos on the house when I checked last week, but once shifted I will be able
to post more pictures. Hence shifting I won’t be able to access internet for
few days or a week until I reconnected at new house. I will write on things
that I gonna badly miss because of shifting home in another post… since this
post is extending. Take care and keep away from excess summer heat :)
