Frustration

I was looking for a house for rent. My first thought is to scan the online portals so that i can get some leads. I just did a search in magicbricks,99acres,indiaproperty,sulekha the results will be like individual postings are very rare and it will over valued. I am thinking like " Why people wont post in the online portals ? Is that they are not tech savvy kinds ? " might be true .

So the ad's didn't helped me at all.So the next thing i did is go and get a Free Ad's paper and try the search this time i got one or two. Maybe here the just dial concept works people just calls and tell their Ad and it will be printed. Here also no luck for some we called them late some doesn't suit our requirements.Half of my patience is gone here as i went to see a Apartment in saidapet which taken off all my strength in walking (maybe i should practice jogging) and i finally reached the destination the road is so small that a two biker can't go around but it's ok as i don't have a bike or car (My salary doesn't fit for that ) we went inside and it is damn small and don't have any ventilation and he said 6k is the rent"What 6k for this type of house ?". Ok i left the place as if i was got cheated but i told my friend about this incident and he said in reality it is how it will work in saidapet.

Ok my intention is not pay a penny to the middle man .So me and my friend decided to roam around and check if there are any TOLET boards around. We roamed in Thiruvanmiyur on the first day. Wow! on the first turn went i have seen a TOLET hanging over there.So we jumped to that place and asked with a lot of excitement with the little knowledge of Tamil i know. He said it's for family. It sounds me like "You stupid bachelors you don't know how to maintain the house. Just get out of my place !" and again we just started roaming around we went to one house it's in the first floor house seems to be good but small it's ok we are looking for only two guys then we decide ok if it is 7k we will say YES. I asked the boy who showed us the house with my Telugu tamil acscent "What is the rent ?" he said "it's 9k""Are you nuts who is going to pay 9k for a 400 sqft house ?" umm.. ok it's his house he can price it whatever way he wants.

Then our search went on from vijayanagar to velachery ending with no TOLET boards but that contradicts the online portals which has a lot of listings given by Brokers. "Damn why don't they just put that board ?"


I went to kotivakkam to check, there i have seen houses which can accommodate schools of 200 strength " why you guys need those big houses ? Why you make the Real Estate to reach it skies ?" ok they have money so they can build, as simple as it is. It is obvious that we can't get a house for 6k in that area.

Frustration all over my mind.My friend said "Life is always beautiful" it made me a bit chill.The next day i have seen an Ad in TCS portal which eventually got me a good (thought so) house
