i know… well, the 1st move since 2008 was moving in with husband. completely my decision. the 2nd move was moving out of that house into the current home. it was a little terrace flat. beautiful, but unbearable in the rains. 5 buckets, many small bowls and all the furniture moved away from the walls, bedroom fan bust due to water causing circuit issues…i could go on and on. we tried hard to ignore it through 2 monsoons. i don’t know why, we probably would have stuck to it. luckily our landlord wanted the place back. such a relief. now the funny thing is that 6 months earlier, we decided to take a small pace in goa. being all adventurous and free spirited, we decided to try and do 15days bombay 15days goa. balance existance. we get back to bombay after 15days in goa. it’s monsoons. bombay house flooded. i’m yelling and screaming and laughing in between. my jimmy choos destroyed. the next day bombay landlord requests we move out in 2 months. family crisis. we’re more than happy to say yes. the next day, goa landlord calls and says, goa house has been robbed! he feels he’s been the target. and it might continue…so we should move out soon. they ransacked the place. fortunately, we never kept anything of much value there. they took the cocktail mixer! that’s about it. but trashed the house. 2 homes to move in 2 months. one in goa. one in bombay. we actually managed to do that, without killing each other. so, after that, only one house, where i’m typing in presently. 30th of this month, we say farewell to this abode. move to another place where no one can ask us to leave. it’s our own little nest and hopefully, we’ll manage to keep the water and robbers out.
