There are a few tough things in a man's lyf who works away from his family and lives alone by himself like arranging for proper food, laundry, maintaining discipline in lyf and finding a house.
Ya, finding a house might sound a bit odd here but ask me. A roomate of mine has got married and there are gonna be 2 of us in this expensive house. I got a month to search for a suitable shelter.
I have seen a few good options but eitehr those are too expensive or there are a lot of owner restrictions which will make it hard to bear with.
My rent budget is 4-5 K for a 1bhk house where I can fit all my belongings. I have a TV, freezer, microwave, PC, bike, a few tables, kitchen ware etc. and lots of cloths. So, it should be spacious to accomodate this. Besides rent, I am willing to pay abt Rs. 700 for electricity and water and will pay another Rs. 1000 for an internet connection and abt Rs. 500 for maid who wud wash my cloths and clean the house. So, it comes down to abt Rs 7,500 for monthly fixed living cost.
Now, I have a good house available in Murgeshpalya(airport road) but the owner is strict. He is against all partying and bringin over friends and playin music etc. So, there is no way i will get in that hosue.
I have another option in BTM. A house which was lived by a friend of mine, once. The hosue costs 5K and its a ncie spacious 1bhk except for the kitchen which is too small but since I am not much into cooking, I can manage. The nearby area has a laods of eating options and a gud market around makes it quite a lucrative deal. The owner doesnt live here and comes once in a month to collect the rent.
My friend told me that she wud talk to the owner abt me that i am a very nice guy who doesnt drink and smoke etc. She wud get him to agree on renting me that house. She is at gud terms with that owner. Lets see if I can get that house but I am not much hopeful as most flats in that building are given to the single girls or married couple. I think owner wudnt be Okay with the idea of having a single dilphek dude to stay in that building... a potential threat to the integrity of those singles hehehe ;-)
However, my friend says that she wud make a story to the owner that I am engaged and getting married in 3-4 months and soon will have my wife here.
I asked her why tellin lies as I am not lookin to get married to any1 in next 2 years. She said dont worry he will soon see that u are a 'mind my own business' type of a guy and who doesnt bother others. Later, if he asks then I can tell him that my marriage is stuck due to some family issues etc. He will forget it all soon in 6 months.
Lets see if this works out but still I am not okay with this idea of makin a story to get a house.
However, I can have great feedom in that house to do watever I want to... music, masti, fun... stuff like coming late in the morning to my house or staying awake late and watchin movies, calling friends over etc. Since, no1 around is bothered at all, to know wat their neighbors do.
If it doesnt work out then I jus have to keep lookin for more and more till I find a suitable accommodation that fullfills all my needs and provides me a great freedom... without havin an owner pokin his nose into my personal life and routine.
Besides this, I need to have a good gym to workout peacefully. I love to work out. It jus helps in releaising all the tensions of work and lyf and gives you a healthy mind and body. I need to find a gym which is well equipped and located nearby.It should have a good coach who knows good enough abt the excercise routine and diet that can help me carve out thsoe well defined six pacs ..hehehe.
I wish to grow a gud 6 pacs from 4 pacs that i have now, by the end of this year.
Here, is a pic of mine...
There are 2 goals that I have set for my self this year. First is to get a promotion to Tech lead this year end or next year mid and second is to have even better defination on my body... really well defined six pacs. It feels great to see the hard work pays off. I am a very stubborn type of guy.
Apart from this, The life is chuggin along quite nicely. The weather in Bangalore is great now, cool and breezy.
Yesterday, a friend of us came from delhi. This guy works as a network enginneer in an MNC and lives in BTM. He came over to our domlur house and then in the evening 3 of us went out to MG road. roamed around then went to the 16th floor. It was bustling as usual and it was hard to find a seat. After spenign sometime there we came out to have dinner at 'oye shawa' a punjabi resturant located at church street. We came back at 1 am.
Right now, I am jus checkin mails and scraps. Thinkin to go out in evening to meet some friends and to search for a shelter. I hope to find a gud one soon... wish me luck.
Cheerio!!!
