Relocation

I hate following words like Transfer, Shifting, Relocation etc. I have been through lot of pains and mental stress due to this. I had been through all this for several times due to my husband gets transfered after certain period for his projects. I have got used to it now but once the whole process starts, it's a real stressful days and nights.

Once you get an order of transfer, you first need to look out for a new home. searching a perfect house from all the angles is very difficult once you are look out for new house. You need to have proper appearance from outside and suitable within per your requirements. You find some good houses which looks very beautiful from outside but interior part is horrible and does not suits to your taste. Where it matches your taste inside, the outside part of house is worst or the location is not good. Your journey starts from one place to another. From one street to another. If by any chance you come across such a house, the price is out of your reach. So its a catch position. The technical part or issues like heating, plumbing, drainage etc are the other factors which too are the major factors need to be considered. You finally arrive at one house and select the same as you are exhausted by now. The paperwork starts from here once the deal is fixed.

Next is preparing for shifting. Once the date of shifting is fixed, you need to look out for Packers & Movers to do the rest. Now the sorting work starts. There are so many unwanted things which needs to be scrapped. Once that is decided and done you move on to categorize the things sort on rooms wise. Some damages are expected at this level so keep cool. During this period most of the time you need to have your food ordered from local joint and live it with that. Its all mess at existing house. The packing work is in progress. You are busy putting labels on them. The list is prepared of packed goods. Once the packing is done, cleaning work starts before leaving the house. All your goods are moved out and are on their way to your new house.

You are at the new house now. Welcome home. You prepare yourself for receiving goods. You check up the list to ensure every thing is received safe. The heavy things like Fridge, Beds, wardrobes etc are kept in respective rooms. The packers have moved out now. You are left alone with the boxes. You sit down and breath deep and start unpacking. You are engaged for next seven days till the time the major things are set on proper place. There are certain damages again which makes you feel sad. Stay cool. These things are very normal. Slowly you come to your routine. You don't find some things. You go to market and buy them. You buy some more thing for the proper decoration of this new house. This process is on for next one month. You throw a party by inviting your close friends. You set a grand menu for them. They all come and appreciate your new house and the way you decorated. You feel proud. The guests are left. You are alone now. Doing reconciliation of the whole process of this shifting. You come to conclusion that you have spent many extra amount than needed to decorate this house. You hopelessly check up your financial statements. Most of your hard savings have vanished by now. You need to start saving from now on by curtailing to any extra unwanted expenses. You have decided that you would closely monitor the same.

The story goes on till the next transfer order is received. The moral of the story is to except life as it comes.
