For the first time, I look forward to moving house. Packing, moving and settling in at a new place is such a hassle. More so if you move every so often - almost every half a year - you felt it’s just a dread. But not this time. 

Reason is easy - it is such a nice place!

And after getting used to a place where you make it look nicer than it was earlier - no air flow, entertainment from all around you, old newspaper vendors ringing and singing their hearts out almost every hour daily early in the morning, rock music from across the window, scoldings from the other direction, fighting from yet another direction, walk out smelling like a sweaty and unwashed Indian, feel like you are being watched at all times, smell car exhust fumes, hear conversations below your unit, floors where we scrubbed until it is cleaner than when we move in - it is a bliss to be moving into a place where you feel comfortable from the first step into the house. 

Now, not only all these are history, we get peace and serenity with vast greenery to feast our eyes on. A song to the soul, a relaxing massage for the mind, a place you can come home to feeling rejuvenated. 

Now, the mess and the hassle of moving doesn’t seem like a big and dreadful task anymore. In fact, I want to get it over and done with as soon as possible to enjoy the new ‘home’!
