In search of a place to live in (in Chennai)

The search is on again. This time it is getting even more tougher as our requirements has also gone on the high. It has become a habit for us to change a house every 6 months, we are already looking for our fourth house in the last 18 months. This often happens due to some external forces rather than our own decision.

As a known truth the bachelors are never encouraged in the apartments. And also we are seven in number where ever we reveal this we are straight away shown the way out!! if we keep this as a secret during the time of signing the agreement then we are done once the truth is out.

In and around Thiruvanmiyur (Our current location), we are not able to find a single house that suits our requirements so this time we will have to compromise with the distance. The search in the ECR, Kotoorpuram, Velachery, and the OMR began. We were still not able to locate the exact one. I along with Vel suggested a house in the ECR(Palavakam) with the help of a broker which was sacked due to the lack of parking space. Then few more were suggested by Vel in the Kotoorpuram area all of which had some flaws in it, eventually all got rejected. In the meanwhile Pradeep was striving hard in search of the best possible house which we could get. Eventually he(Pradeep) came up with a superb apartment in Perungudi & one more was found in Velachery, both satisfied us almost such that we were almost egear to agree but due to distance constraint these were also rejected.

Finally the day dawned with Guru waking me saying Pradeep is ready to see a house in Palavakam with the reference of a broker. We (Pradeep, Jayan& I) started together and was later joined by Kumar. It was a hard days search with no result till noon. Due to some constraints Jayan, Kumar & I were forced to return home, Pradeep continued the search with the broker and found one in the OMR(Thoraipakkam). All of us except Guru visited the house in the evening and were really exited seeing the facilities and the size of the house. After further discussions within us and with the owner this house is fixed as our next place to live in.

More about the house once we move in (Hope so).
