Back in TN after almost 6-7 months and that too Chennai. Man this place is hot... But then these days there is hardly any time to ponder about much of anything let alone complain and whine about the weather. Finding a house for rent at a reasonably higher price(?????) is the most difficult job on earth. I travelled the whole stretch of Chengalpattu-Beach station so many times that i came to know the 20 odd stations in between byheart, in order and reverse!!! Gosh it was work enough. I happened to travel a lot in chennai(travel? roam in vain actually), more than what i have done my whole life in coimbatore. But then it was all fun. Being home(the guest house)late n tired n seein the foodcourt all shutters down n dragging myself to Dominoz n having a pizza.... woo i had pizzas to last me a lifetime... And the best part of the whole day is getting back to the room, take a shower sleep on those cushiony beds with AC at a temperature as low as possible.
Finally after 10 days of intensive scanning and scrutinizing chennai or rather kanchi district we found a house. And How!!! We took a look at those walls by 6PM finalised with the owner by 8, got our keys, came back to the guest house, packed our bags n left by midnight... Cleaning the house n loading our luggages n sleeping on the floor @2.30AM. That was the best nap. Waking up by 7 and wondering "did we really find a house for ourselves?". What was weirder was that we neither paid the rent nor the advance for almost a week!!!
Making those walls we were calling a "home" into a REAL "home" was so much of an experience. 5 Gals trying their best to make the wretched place an abode on par with heaven. In the process of putting together a house, we put together a uh uh....Family.Nope we are not gay.Though there's nothing wrong in being gays I'm just making things straight by saying we are straight(Just avoiding few heart breaks). So coming back to the point, here we are one BIG(wat else can it be when its mine)HAPPY FAMILY. Loads of fun, loads of abuses, loads of food, loads of chit-chatting and more -in the next part.
