New House, New Environment and Totally a New Experience..

It has been a week since I moved to my new home in West Kadungalloor, Aluva. Initially it was a nightmare when I had to deal with the shifting of my house hold items from my native place (Ranni) to Aluva, as it was raining heavily during the time of shifting. As a results most of the items got drenched and I had a hard time in drying those items.


I transferred only the most necessary things from Ranni to Aluva and as a result the new house in Aluva lacked the basic furniture that were required in a house. On 5th of May 2011, my family members also shifted to this new house in West Kadungaloor and at that time the house was in a full mess with all the items lying here and there. But the other members were quick in getting the house arranged properly.

The next two main things that kept me thinking was about purchasing the furniture and the house warming ceremony that was scheduled on 10th of May. I have not even started inviting anyone and there were some relative whom I had to invite directly by visiting their house. I had to spend 3 days in the extreme heat on behalf of inviting my relatives and all these days I was traveling on my bike, which made me totally tired.

But everything went fine including the house warming ceremony and a lot of people visited the house more than I expected. It has been almost 4 days since then and I am trying to get fastly adapted to the new house, new environment, new neighbors etc. Hope that this would be a good beginning for me and my family and also hope to stay here for a longer tenure.

Seems to Have Found the Right House at Last

It has been around  2 months I have been searching for a house in Ernakulam and through out these 2 months, I have seen a lot of houses. Selecting a house for you to live is a tedious task and it was even difficult than finding the right life partner. I was looking for a good house under 10 cents in Ernakulam district and was mainly searching the areas such as Kakkanad, Kizhakkambalam, Pookattupady, Aluva, Thrippunithura etc.

The Smart City agreement has pumped the property rates in the areas such as Kakkanadu, Kizhakkambalam, Pookattupady, Pallikkara etc. As a result I had to withdraw my decision of buying a home in these areas. I had to search other areas such as Aluva and Thrippunithura, but the Smart City wave seems to have hit every corner of Ernakulam. The prices of land and house all over Ernakulam distict have seen a big boost making it difficult to find a house that suits my requirement and Budget.

Finally I had to move towards the Kadungaloor area which is around 4 kms away from Aluva. I came to see a house near Kadungaloor at the Aluva - Varappuzha route and some how had to get satisfied with the house. The area seems to be pretty calm and quite with some small housing projects in the process. The land price in this area is around 3.5 Lakhs per cent and I saw a house in around 6 cents which was barely 3 years old.

Since the prices in other parts are higher, I had to settle for this and hopes that this would be a good place for me and my family to stay on. Just had a verbal agreement with the owner of the house today and also payed a small amount as advance. Hopes that I get enough money to buy this withing the agreement date.
