Finding a perfect house is like finding heaven on earth and we also set out in search of that perfection. Visiting different localities, entering various flats that house families, that are willing to leave it for good, or else meeting builders and brokers and taking a look at the model houses became a weekend routine for us.
Somehow, I find it easier to adjust to the atmosphere of a newly constructed house as compared to one which has already housed people for somehow, a house tends to imbibe the characteristics, the traits of the occupants who had made it their home, because although a house has just walls and roof, a home has a personality of its own, a personality which is more or less a reflection of its occupant’s personality that they leave behind as they vacate it. A house more or less speak of the ways of the people, it remembers them and is somehow more loyal to them. Maybe it is easier to pick up a new canvas and start a new painting than to change an existing one.
So there we were, hot and tired on a summer afternoon, visiting new projects, in search of our dream house, liking some, discarding others and at the same time worrying about our finances. Whether to take loan and, if yes, then how much and what about repayment became a dominant question in our minds. Besides it all we also have to see if we approach through a broker, how much he will burn a hole in our pocket.
Though unable to find our dream coming true as yet, we are still hopeful that one day we will find a place that we can call our own and then all our efforts, all our wanderings will be rightly paid off.
