DHP- Dream Home Project

Thanks guys for lot of comments and support in terms of comments, mail and call for my last blog.. It was pleasing experience.. Every person goes through various emotions. I will be most of the time happy. Smiling and bringing smile for the people around me. But I am also a human to get sad some times. Now I am back smiling writing a blog about my current craze- My new home which is under construction. Me and my friends call it DHP- Dream home project.

There is a saying in Kannada " Mane katti nodu, maduve maadi Nodu". I am talking about my first experience i.e constructing a home.

Me and my 4 friends together planned to build a set of flat together so we can stay together even after marriage though in different homes but in same building :) . So we started looking for a site and finalised one. Found a builder and investor and booked one flat each. All we thought it will be a smooth operation but no. The hurdles kept on approaching. Continuous effort to get a bank loan, finishing up all the legal formalities, arranging the remaining money, visiting the sites on regular basis, tolerating the price hike for cement and steel. So many works along with office work. There were situations where we fought with each other, felt depressed why we took this decision to build home. Fed up of arranging money, took loan from friends, postponed buying car :(. So many adjustments, compromises and sacrificing comforts. Never bought a costly electronic gadgets, waited for company to provide laptop. But when I visited site this week, all compromises I did were worth it. Our DHP is getting in good shape. My home walls are built up, electric work is going on. Plastering work is also going on good speed. Balcony work is done where I hope I will be sitting and having a cup of tea in future. Hall where I will be putting sofa tv, dinning table and enjoying the stay. Bed room where I will be sleeping, guest room where my guests can come and stay, everything is getting in shape.

So while coming back from site on bike, I was thinking what all compromises it takes to make a dream in reality. Hopefully things will be smooth now on and we occupy the home as soon as possible.

My friends are equally happy and hope we all stay together with our family happily in future.

Now we are thinking which way we should make our building's external look so it catches eyes. Also about what all interiors we should make, how we should paint the walls :)

Few more months, I am just waiting for occupying it.

r we satisfied?

I dont know why suddenly I got this thought? I know I am too young to think about it.. But when some situation at home for which I could not find a solution sitting in Bangalore, strated feeling guilty.. Why I did engineering? I could have done some other degree, have govt job, stayed in native and helped family in handling issues. Now its too late but still this thought is passing every min.

After PU college tensions for which college to join for BE? Will I get this branch and this college for my ranking? Oh yes, I got it.. So much to study, such brilliant classmates.. Will I be able to clear all exams.. Oh yes cleared.. Oh man so much competation outside for IT jobs.. IIT, REC, top college students will I be able to get a job.. Hmmm at last after heavy struggle.. Now my class mates have strated going onsite. Will i get a chance to go? Will I make money like them? Should i invest in site or shares? Why my company is not giving me shares when my friends compay is giving? Why my company has no long term onsites.. at last I also visited US for a short span. hmm where is all money going at the end of the month.. Salary is getting deposisted and slowly getting withdrwan for multiple reasons.. Where is it going? am I doing proper planning? With all this tensions, what am i doing for my home? am I there when they need my suport.. No leaves, releases dead lines, new trainings.. I can give money but not time.. But who is intrested in money, they need my time.. No I am not able to give. hmmmmm so the answer to the question " R we satisfied?" is No from me..

What you guys think? Comments.
