Renting Dream Home In The City I Love.
Submitted by: Meghana
Pune, IndiaI am a lady who loves to stay in the hustle bustle of the city and still manage to keep my calm!
I got married and moved with my husband to the city of Bangalore in the southern part of India, due to his job. I did not quite like my time in that city because we were located in the suburbs. We were promised by my husband’s company that we would soon be transferred to Pune city, a city I was born and grew up in and where my parents and pet were. This transfer, due to some reason or the other, was being postponed repeatedly.
One fine day my husband told me to start visualizing the dream flat that we could rent and that would well be within our budget. I came across one that was very close to where my parents were located. On a whim I asked my parents to go and visit this flat. However this being my dream flat, it was at that time, in very bad shape and needed renovating. This being said we still contacted the landlord, made all the enquires and expressed our interests in renting out the flat. He, not wanting to incur unnecessary expenses in renovating, discouraged us.
Me and my husband being persistent in my plans and visualizing, did not lose hope at all. We started making plans about how the furniture would be placed and how we would decorate the place together. One other thing I always wanted to do was to cultivate a small terrace garden. Another ‘coincidence’, the flat had a huge terrace. I particularly wanted to grow purple carrots.
On a weekend visit to a botanical garden in Bangalore I attracted some purple carrot seeds. I saw them first thing on the shelf and I bought them immediately. This kind of sealed the deal for me and converted my plans for the flat into the implementation phase.
The next day we received a call from the landlord. He wanted us to rent the flat and agreed to the renovation. Our happiness did not know any bounds, me and my husband started literally dancing on the sidewalk after receiving the phone call. Within 15 days my husband received his transfer letter and we were packed and ready to move!
We finally moved to the city we love, rented the exact flat that we wanted to, planted the purple carrots and are just waiting for those little plants to grow! It really happened for me! It worked! Thank you!
