Life is Beautiful!

A few days back I changed my apartment, and as usual finding a new apartment was a daunting and boring task. The house search had it’s own adventurous moments and I did not have any new place to shift till two days before my shifting deadline. There were moments when I though that I may even have to live on footpath for a few days..

Even my bachelorhood, which is my most prized and celebrated possession, was questioned and sometimes I felt like being a bachelor is a crime in this country. Yes! there were house owners who were no less than Angels sent by God till the time they did not know that I was a bachelor. As soon as i gave them the news that I am a bachelor and I plan to stay alone in the apartment, their reaction was same as that of a person who has just got up after a steamy ‘unprotected’ one night stand only to discover that their partner was HIV positive.

What I have below are reactions of some of my dear one’s when i told them about the problems i was facing while looking for a new house.

Me to a friend: Dude! let me know if you come to know of any house which i can rent. It’s slightly urgent.
Friend: Hey! wait!! i guess there is a house next to me which is lying vacant. let me get back to you with details, and then we can go over to check out the place, lets try it out.
Me: that’d be so great dude. lemme know.

Me to my Dad: I just have one more week left to look for a new house. I donno how’ll i find one so soon given that I am too busy at work as well.
Dad: Don’t worry son everything will be fine. In fact I was thinking that I’ll buy you a apartment in Delhi itself, this way you’ll never have to face this problem again.
Me: Daaaad!!!! :) ….. (and I was speechless)

Me to a lovely friend from Jaipur: Y’know I think I am gonna be living on footpath very soon, coz time is running out and i’ve not yet finalized a thing.
Lovely friend from Jaipur: don’t even say that Amit. I am sure you’ll find one. It might sound impractical but if i have my way, I’ll make you stay here at my place for sometime and your office in Gurgaon is hardly 2 hrs drive from Jaipur which is the same time you’ll take to travel from Noida to your office. :)
Me: you are such a sweetheart dear. I’d have loved to do that if that was really possible. but thanks anyway.

Me to a new chick in my life: Gosh! I am so pissed off, i’ve spent my entire saturday searching for a new house, but no success.
New chick in my life: Hey sweetie, take it easy. everything will be fine. btw – why don’t you move to my apartment, my flat mate is anyway moving out as she’s taken up a job at Bangalore. If you don’t mind we can live together, and this will give us more time together.
Me: What! You mean!! Are you saying!!! OMG!!!! :D

Isn’t my life beautiful? it truly is, my wonderful readers. But then you need to look at the other (read ‘real’) side of life as well. Read on to know what actually transpired:

Me to a friend: Dude! let me know if you come to know of any house which i can rent. It’s slightly urgent.
Friend: Why don’t you go to a property dealer, you should be able to find some house.
Me: That’s a terrific idea, Dude. What would i do if you were not around….. Grrrrr.. ofcourse i have enuf mind to contact a broker you dumbass, what makes you think i’ve not done that already.

Me to my Dad: I just have one more week left to look for a new house. I donno how’ll i find one so soon given that I am too busy at work as well.
Dad: Son, why is it that you always wake up at the eleventh hour? when will you be mature enough to take things seriously and plan ahead of time?
Me: Dad! :(  …. (and I was speechless)

Me to a lovely friend from Jaipur: Y’know I think I am gonna be living on footpath very soon, coz time is running out and i’ve not yet finalized a thing.
Lovely friend from Jaipur: That’s cool isn’t it. you can as well take up cleaning cars parked on roadside and make some additional money ;-))
Me: You are such a sweetheart dear. I am honored to have a friend as thoughtful as you.  :-|

Me to a new chick in my life: Gosh! I am so pissed off, i’ve spent my entire saturday searching for a new house, but no success.
New chick in my life: What? you can’t be serious. I’ve invited some of my old friends for a get together at your place next week, and you are telling me that you won’t have that house with you anymore.
Me: What? You mean?? Are you saying??? OMG???? :((

So now you know, don’t you?

Life is beautiful.
