Never really worked so hard, never felt so good!

I never used to believe that shifting house is a big deal. Not until I had to experience that myself. Packing, moving, loading and unloading, setting things...phew even the mere listing makes me tired.

Last week was entirely occupied in packing. We then got a decent movers to shift. The moving experience was priceless. Though the movers offered us a seat in the front of the van, we insisted that we wanted to sit behind. It was so much fun to travel that way. It felt free, like flying, except when there were speed breakers! Then it felt like we were going to break our backs.

Once we moved totally in, we knew about the water scarcity. Then I was warmly welcomed by two fully grown lizards in my bathroom (yuck!) and in the balcony I saw a huge lizard, so huge that I mistook it for a rat. Then started the hunt for carpenter to fix a mesh in all the bathrooms and ventilators.

On the moving day, we walked across our street a million times, to buy milk, to find carpenter, to buy fans and bulbs and what not! I was a little uncomfortable with the place and the thought of whether we made the right decision to move was clogging my head. That night, I almost broke down. The next day was yet again hectic with carpentry work.

We then went to a near by lake with two other friends. It was such a relief, to talk about something other than house and shifting. When I came back, I felt like I lost five pounds of worry :)

The story now- totally comfortable, thanking God every single moment and praying that this house will make us thank Him over and over again :) Really happy, that I can't stop smiling even at work!
