Bangalore ahoy !!!

The next chapter of my life moves to Bangalore. Will begin work soon in an HR consultancy there.. but before all this, need to zero in on the den.



Bangalore is one of those places where finding a home is as easy as pie, courtesy the insane number of software professionals working there. I'll hit bangalore sometime this week hoping to find a 3 bhk apartment, fully furnished somewhere near Frazer town for around 15k.



"Dude, I have one for now for around 17k."

"17K!!!!! thats a little too much, don't you think??"

"But split 2 ways??"

"Hmmm... fair enough, considering we can afford to spend so much now"

"Cooke town, Puravankara, swimming pool, Tennis court and the likes"

"Go on.. .its sounding better now"

"3 kms to where u work and 5 kms to my office"



"Can we keep a labrador? A black one?"

"Who takes it for the poo poo? and worse... what if it does it all over the room"

"What about a day care centre for the puppy?"

"Hmmm.. worth a look. There should be one right? considering its Bangalore"



"Forget that. What about the maid?"

"I'll bring a chottu from Mirzapur. He'll stay alright"

"Mirzapur??? In bangalore, There is a system of a cook coming in the morning to get your grub ready."

"Theek hai. So I tell mom to stop looking for chottu??"



"Thats like almost 2 lakhs in advance. We don't have that much money. We'll get a CLA from the company. Don't worry!!! Trust me, I've lived in Blore for 4 years before XL"

"Chup be...the old man paid for it then."

"4 bedroom penthouse in malleswaram for 12k.. those were the rates back then. It could not have gone much higher....."



Will know soon...meanwhile, I'll continue plotting the way to office on google maps.

getting a dog - its an awesome stress buster, but it needs day care - better stay in an apartment complex which has lotsa doggies - the gramps who take them out for walks love talking to anyonw who fusses over their sweetheart pets.

Nice look on the blog - i may copy the background tho... ie; if i get to sit and twiddle on the HTML..

I am sure you will be having a tough time hunting for an apartment at Bangalore....
Hope you don't go insane after arguing over all those rules and pricings!
Good luck anyway :-)
