There is a season - turn, turn, turn" To everything - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven "
So here I am, sitting in the living room strewn with suitcases and boxes, sipping my tea wondering what is in store for me next? A whole month passed me by, without the slightest realization that in the next few weeks my Life is going to take a big swerve.I had a wonderful time at my sister's in march.It was my first international trip and going to the U.S where my sister and her family were expecting their next new member (little Niv) was such a joyful and exciting experience I could hardly wait for.And before I knew it, I'm back in Bangalore, sweating like a pig, trying to keep the heat away as far as possible!
Coming back to the strewn luggage...We are moving! As a child, I loved moving from house to house till we moved into our own Home.It gave me opportunities to discover my creative side, imagining my forts and castles, and also finding new "hiding" places where i could carry out all my mischievous 'operations' till my Mother or Sisters found me!I even used to wonder what it would be like to move into different houses every other week so as to cover all the houses that were available in one Life span (yes!I was a wild thinker! :D )Well, I guess it was fun for me as a child because I did not have to worry about the packing, moving and all the associated headaches!
And now my Hubby and I are moving for the first time as a couple! Seven months of blissful marital Life...these seven months have been everything I have dreamt of.To be married to my childhood sweetheart and my best friend, well a girl cannot ask for more! :)
The present apartment is a quaint little one in the heart of the city, catering to all our needs,be it groceries, clothing, shopping malls,eateries.You name it,we have it within, say 2km?! To be precise, we have been spoilt rotten!Vish wakes up and has to take 5 steps to reach his office, and I had to sit in a rick for 7minutes to reach the hospital!But of course being spoilt silly has a price to pay!and at the end of every month we look at each other sheepishly after our month's expenditure has been calculated and promise to be more careful the coming month!
Hmmm, I guess the new place is going to help us keep our wallets from being flattened atleast !;) A place well away from the hustle bustle of the city (I am so looking forward to a place where we can breathe without inhaling dust and carbon!) and I am told, it's quite a posh building which is well kept given the fact that its over 15 years old!And a 3 bedrooms apartment in the 9 th storey with a balcony and pool,gym and other facilities are somethings both of us are excited about, not to forget the tag which comes on it, is way lesser than our present one which has none of the above mentioned except for a sweet balcony that I'm insanely in love with!
Well it's time to say goodbye to my beloved balcony and it's time to move on.Life does that to us.Nothing is static...however much we want it to be!I have bid farewells before - to the lovely terraces, to the gardens, to the backyards, to the chikkoo tree we climbed on, to the ever smiling neighbour 'aunties' whom i have pestered and to the houses themselves! So this should 'nt be too hard...given that we stayed here for hardly seven months.But I know I shall be bidding sorrowful farewells to my balcony (ofcourse!) and the Namdhari right opposite our lane, Spar, Maxx, Lifestyle, pizza hut, dominos, baskin robbins, kwality walls, and what not and more! :D
I guess my hubby might have to pull me away manually (like how my mother used to,everyday when we reached my creche!)the last day but I am sure, I shall cope with the pain of parting,eventually! :D
Vish has promised to take me to see our new place today when he comes back from work.As excited as I am to explore our new nest-to-be,and decide how I'm going to decorate our new home, I cant help but wildly imagine myself kicking and physically resisting the shift and also that my hubby might have to 'pack' me into a box as well if I am that un-manageable!
Ridiculing my funny imaginations, I go back to packing stuff in boxes for the time being.
