Technicolor torture
Been very busy lately house hunting. Trying to shift closer to my office and avoid the current 25km commute (one way by the way), that too in 1st and 2nd gear speeds.
House hunting, i figured can be an interesting experience in itself, more importantly to gauge peoples aesthetics. As is the process in order to find the most suitable abode, we checked several places, mostly apartments. Some big and thus not fitting into our meager budget, some apt in terms of budget but with enough sunlight for a bats nest etc etc.
At this point would like to advice ye all house hunters, its always best to check the place during the daytime, unless you have a fascination for caves and dungeons as dwellings!
And there were some which were lovingly painted (as admitted by the landlady herself) with the brightest shade of yellow, constant exposure to which would evoke the carefully repressed psychopath in you. And the fans, yes the ceiling fans, had chandeliers reminiscent of 1980s hindi movie abodes more apt for a white shoe clad jumping jack Jeetu, a la Farz!
And then, there were the ones which were perfect in terms of budget, space and light and....;
but were still consigned to the rejection list. Take a look at them yourselves to see why.
And for those of you who still can't figure that out, please take this advice from a dear friend; DO NOT ever try to do up your house on your own!!
