Sixth house in Gurgaon

Yesterday I moved into sixth house in Gurgaon. It all began in October 2006 when I had no choice but to find a house and start a new life all over. Since then I have graced 6 houses in Gurgaon - nothing but a series of bad luck, a new story each time.

House No 1: 2 Oct 06 - August 2007; owner wanted double the rent I was paying. I was willing to pay but the broker would have lost his commission unitl a new kirayedar came

House No 2: Sept 07 - June 08; owner got a job in Gurgaon and i was asked to vacate

House No 3: July 08 - Oct 08; As soon as i moved in owner found a buyer and sold the house

House No 4: Nov 08 - 13 June 09; owner didnt get along with daughter in law, separeted and asked me to leave

House No 5: 14 June 09 - 15 Feb 2010; I decided to leave

House No 6: 16 Feb 2010 - until i want to leave; this time i shifted to my own home after 2 nd half months of struggle with Axis bank.

Quite a lot of statistical analysis can be done with above data. Unfortunately each time I parted on a bad note - fighting and jhik jhik with owners. Each time paid one month rent to brokers and shifting charges to moners n packers. Funnily, same guy moved my house three times in past 18 months.

More than shifting, searching for a house is a pain. I have now looked for a house in every corner of Gurgaon. In my office i am almost the house consultant. I seem to know all the locations, websites and a lot of propery dealers.

But thanks to mom my series of bad luck seems to have come to an end. If she didnt nag so much and more than that didnt support financially I might be on the same run. Thanks so much mom.

Buying a house was never on my list but may be it happened for good. till yesterday I felt tied and burdened with heavy debt for next 20 years.

But today when i woke up, I felt a different energy. I went to each room and my heart said this is my home.

Thanks mom and God and my friends who share my hapiness today.

Love - Is it science or Romance?

LOVE is in the air. Yes this seems to be true on a Valentines Day. u cant avoid it when everywhere (even the smallest dhaba) u find red color hearts. I guess thats why they say heart is vulnerable!

Wonder what LOVE is? Here is biochemical perspective on love I heard on a NDTV talk show this morning:

"Falling in love is at the mercy of your biochemical and hormones". There are three stages in a relationship between a guy and gal. Scientifically:

1. Lust - release of male and female hormones - progesterone and estrogen

2. Attraction - release of neuro chemicals - Dopamine

3. Attachment - release of oxytocin.

Lot of other things influence these chemicals, like 1. stage of menstrual cycle (mid cycle more female hormone), 2. alcohol (happy/pleasure cells are already activated), 3. Apocrine glands (@ axilla, nipples, pubic areas - release pheromones)

So these hormones and chemicals decide the behaviour and actions in these 3 stages of 'falling in love'.

Whatever it may be we all want to 'fall in love'. I find it magical. Its so beautiful to see an elderly couple siting on a bench in a park holding hands. It is the connection between two individuals and they only know how they feel about each other.

I believe its destiny. Love happens!
