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.
