On 28th Dec 2009, we completed one month at our new house at Besant Nagar. In these 30 days, every one of us had lots of work to do.
COOKING GAS: Getting the Gas connection posed a problem as “address proof” was needed.First they refused to accept the Rent Agreement copy as proof, but later as Mrs Thilakam Mohan phoned them, it was accepted on 8 Dec! The refill was delivered the next day. But, we found a spelling mistake in my name. Instead of SA Narayanan, they had typed as S Narayanan. When pointed out on 22 Dec, they said it would not be “possible” to correct the mistake at present. We were stuck! I said, “why not go to IOCL and discuss with the Customer Care?”
Vijaya and I went to Indian Oil Corp Teynampet on 24 Dec, met the Area Manager who gave written instructions to the Gas Agency to correct the name. Back to the Gas Agency on 29th, the Gas Transfer Subscription Voucher was corrected and given to us; now we have a new Consumer number.
MILK CARD: Address proof was needed for this also. We took the Rent Agreement on 11th Dec as the proof and they accepted it. We paid Rs 1104 for 2 litres milk (Blue, 3% fat) for 31 days. The home delivery done by our servant maid herself started from 16th Dec. Earlier, I used to go to the Aavin booth daily in the morning, pay cash, and get the milk.
TELEPHONE/BROADBAND: No problem in this; only, we had to take my Modem to BSNL Adyar for configuration.Telephone was activated (2446 xxxx) on 2 Dec and broadband on 5th.
GEYSERS: Arvind purchased two new Geysers (Racold, 15 litres) and these were fixed on 12th and 18th Dec. Earlier we used immersion heater for hot water, but now we get it from the geyser.
SERVANT MAID / NEWSPAPER: No problem at all; except that I had subscribed for Times of India for one year (till Apr 2010) and they were not successful in delivering the newspaper at the new address; initially I purchased the TOI daily, paying cash, and from 19th our vendor started home delivery.
Marghazhi month started on 16 Dec and I am going to Sri Ratnagiriswarar Koil and Sri Varasiddhi Vinayakar Koil daily morning. Collect steaming hot வெண் பொங்கல் and return home. Vijaya also started coming from 29 Dec, getting up at 5-30 and taking bath. We meet Saroja at the Koildaily. On 1 Jan (திருவாதிரை பண்டிகை) we got களி as prasadam.
Now at the end of one month we are “almost settled”
