Begger to Be Ghar ;)


It was end of another rocking weekend.
But this weekend was bit different. It was full of astonishments.
I had so many surprises that by the end of Sunday… I was actually looking forward for mundane Monday. :)

We had to shift to a new flat.(Courtesy Land Lady :).) And it was this weekend we had planned to move our baggage.

Fortunately a pretty good deal was cracked and we were happy to move in. It was 3 BHK semi furnished flat. The owner seemed to be pretty descent and her simplicity made a mark.
The flat was not only good but also provided us an AC (air conditioner).
We happily finalized the things and were completely touched by her generosity of not taking any advance. She was fine to take money when we would shift to her flat.

This all happened a week ago.

Saturday was a day when most of the packing was done. I had 3 big bags full of books. Its my personal collection of all types of books… the total number has now reached to 57 :). And yes… I have read almost all of them :).
Happily I did rest of the packing… and was all set for the Sunday.

We went early morning on Activa with the luggage as informed to owner. However the house was locked. When called up.. the owner said… she is in the hospital to meet some relative and will take time.
However… in the afternoon she had another story to tell. She called up and said she has given the flat to other group of gals who has given her 50K deposit!!!

Immediately we went to her place but guess damage was all done. She was transformed... transformed to a wild House Owner. She was smelling and licking the deposit money, the one she got from other 6 gals. :D

We tried to convince her and remind her, her conscience… but neither of us could compete with an aroma of FIFTY THOUSAND. :D

Dejectedly we left her place... Not sure what to react… and how to respond. It was 29th and existing flat had to be vacated by 31st.

After being pensive for a while…the first thing I said to my roomie was… I am hungry :D:D
She lost her mind and gave me left and right. But at the end even she agreed that its better to have food to face the changing time :);)

After the lunch we thought of all the back up options. Unfortunately two of them had wiped out and the one which none of us wished to consider was of the hostel.

Neither Sulekha.com nor Magic Bricks could bring any magic to our situation.

And so… we decided to hit the battlefield.

We searched thoroughly almost all the lanes and squares of Narayan Peth & Sadashiv Peth.
Also managed to find an agent and see the house. But none of the place was worth even considering.
It seemed as if bad luck was madly in love with us :D. Absolutely nothing clicked!!

In the evening we realized that we are beggar of the house and in a days time we shall be “be ghar”. :D
We were laughing out loud on our skills of rhyming and the situation in which we were caught. :)
We enjoyed the moment with Pani Puri and gave all the good words to the 3BHK owner :P It was amusing.

The day successfully drained our energy and spirits.

It was indeed a rollercoaster ride. A ride from Semi Furnished 3BHK Air Conditioned flat to a room of some remote hostel.

Room of a hostel??!!

Yes!!

Room of a hostel.

After all… that’s the only option, which is left. :D
