Smile and Wave !!

After what seemed like ages, I have finally secured a rented accomodation in Shimla. It is surprising how difficult it is to find a decent place on rent in shimla. First of all the crazy gradient and hilly terrain makes it virtually impossible to have a house with access to the road. Road acess, which is called 'drive in' around here is a premium luxury item. Add to that the odd terminology of one room set or two room set, which canbe translated as 1BHK and 2BHK. Another thing i noticed here, which would surprise any maharashtrian, is that having just one bathroom in the house is almost sacrilegious. there have to be as many bathrooms as there are bedrooms, so a house with 2 bedrooms and one bathroom is a big no-no... the guy must be really poor. :) But after much huffing and puffing and calling friends at all hours, I finaly found a place to stay. A nice 1BHK, with a decent kitchen, a good bathroom , good fittings, although on the highway (noisy) and on the second floo...

Here we go, a few more of shimla pics, may be I ought to start a new blog for this very purpose.....:) Now this is what i call dangerous living. the houses are simply too much, more on this tomorrow:P Now thats the view from my office, cool na?notice how the houses are all built on the slopes, these are all connected by zig-zag, steep roads, barely enough for a 800! need to put that here too! :) another cool view!

For the past few weeks, I have been feeling so elated and fantastic like I have never felt before. Good things have been happening to me and how! And to think it all started with me coming to Delhi in September with the Ganesh Idol I had forgotten back home. In one weks time, I had a new job, a good one, add to that a posting in Shimla and the final cherry on the cake. She said yes! Thank you god! I never thought I would say this again after 2007, but Life is good to Me.... yet again!

Some more pics of Shimla taken today, dont mind the date, my camera clock got reset :D     In this picture, on the hill in the centre, 2 white bldgs, at the centre bottom of the group of buildings is where my office is. took me 45 minutes to walk, but what a lovely walk!

My first views of Shimla, Man is this place beautiful!!!! More to come soon...
