Setting up the home from Scratch!
Since my ‘luxury’ period in the guest house was over, I had to finally move to the apartment in Srinagar Colony. I shifted my things to the flat and headed to office. I purchased a set of bed, pillow and bedsheet the day before and kept in the apartment. When I came back in the night, it struck me that there is not even drinking water in home. All that was available were copious rooms, fans, tubelights and empty cup-boards! It was awkard to sleep in such an empty house! My flatmates would be joining me little later.
There are list of things to do over the next few days
- Get the house cleaned once more.
- Get the Cable connection.
- Install the television and DVD Player
- Get the Gas connection.
- Get the Broad band connection.
- Interview and finalize maid (!)
- Subscribe to newspaper
- Subscribe to milk.
- Subscribe to mineral water.
- Buy a study table and chair
- Buy fridge
- Buy washing machine (?)
- Buy iron
- Buy sofa sets and chairs
- Buy a good 2.1 speaker set.
- Buy cooking utensils, cooker etc.,
- Buy curtains.
- Buy some plants to grow indoor (!)
- Buy TV table.
- Buy a Cot (I prefer sleeping in the floor with the bed..so will take a call on this)
.

Huh, the list is not stopping…Of course, the common expenses will be shared. After 4 years of comfortable life-style, I simply cannot imagine living without the above basic facilities. Regarding the car/bike, will postpone the purchase until I get my driving licence and save some moolah!
Good luck for the start of a new life…

Subscribe to mineral water? People don’t drink tap water in India anymore is it?
Interview and finalize maid? Wow, now that is what I call a luxury.I think I have even forgotten the concept of home help.
Looks like you have a lot of settling in to do…Good luck and enjoy.
