Have been looking around for houses for the past 2-3 days..nothing's clicking..
May be I am not looking enough.. may be deep within, I dont want to leave my current place..
May be theres something else in store for me..
Got a really nice one on saturday.. just the perfect place I'd imagined..
Thought I'd call up the owner and confirm the deal..but just as I was about to dial her no., an old friend called up, and I got chatting with him for about half an hour..and the deal was gone in this much time :) Someone else called up 15 min before me & confirmed it :D

Frankly, its certainly not one of the best things to do - looking for houses..!
There was this place I saw with the agent, which was ridiculous! Reallly! It was stinking.. had rats running all over the place.. the walls were painted in an insane red-pink colour, the fan was making the kinda noise u hear when u see a train passing at the signal..it was in this narrow lane, wherein the neighbours were popping their heads out and staring, like they had just seen an alien from Mars! The best deal was, tht one of the two rooms had walls made of glass!!!
I hv absolutely no idea what the owner had in mind while making tht house!! :))

I looked at the agent in anger, and he looked away.. Then I quietly said,
"Raghavendra, we are not exactly in the mood to waste time, are we?"
He humbly said - "No madam, its not like tht madam, I'm sorry madam.. I dint know it was tht bad!"
He sounded so paavam, tht I burst out laughing, and he felt quite embarrassed!
We came out.. and I was thrilled to see tht it was drizzling! Man! Nothing like getting wet in the rain! :)
So I was enjoying and waiting for Raghavndra to start his bike.. when I saw this really old man, all clad in rags..with a torn blanket..sleeping on the street..
His face looked glum..and he was all clumsily rolled up..

Dont know.. something struck me somewhere. Here he was who doesnt hv a place to stay..is generalyl lying here and there.. and here I am, who has seen some 15 places, but cant find even one of them worth living!
Seeing him, dont know what happened..but I suddenly became aware.. tht I'm going to die one day..
Nothing will stay.. I will be old one day, I will suffer all old-age problems.. I will be unable to jump around.. I will be dependent on my kids to take me around..
Yes, there will be one such day.. after 40 years, 50 years, 60 years?
But I'll die..

Dont know, I suddenly felt so weird.. tht I told Raghavendra, tht we'll call it a day..
Went to Cha Bar, Leela(my favvvourite place) and sat there..trying to read a book..sipping a cup of hot tea( yeah, I broke ma resolution :( )

but nothing fell in place..

Came back, and called up a couple of old friends whom I had not spoken to, for months now..

but nothing fell in place..
