We shifted from A1/14/1, "SAIRAM", 22nd Cross Street, Besantnagar, Chennai 600090 on the evening of Sunday, 29 May 2011 to our own house at Kalakshetra Avenue, Thiruvanmiyur.
This is the fifth house we have lived in Chennai since our coming to Chennai in Dec 2001. First was the Mandapam road house in New Avadi road (Dec,Jan), Kilpauk, then was the Aspiran Garden house (Feb 2002 to 30 Aug 2005) at Kilpauk, third was the Karpagam Avenue house (30-August-2005 to 28 Nov 2009), the 4th was the Besantnagar house (28-Nov-2009 to 29 May 2011)
This is a newly constructed house owned by Krithika and Arvind. The structure that was there earlier was brought down and this construction started. The bhoomi-poojai was performed on 21 Jan 2010. The ground level will be the parking place and above this will be 2 floors; the southern side will be for the erstwhile owner of the site; on the northern side, Arvind will have the 1st floor and Mr. Ganapathysubramanian (Krithika's father) will have the 2nd.
The construction was a bit slow and the building was handed over only by March 2011. Arvind Krithika performed the Gruha pravesam on 6 March 2011 with further woodwork etc resuming after the GP. Finally we shifted on 29 May 2011 !
Arvind-Krithika's new house looks beautiful and grand after the woodwork has been completed and the electrical fixtures fitted. On the 1st floor, there is the kitchen plus dining area, a servicing place, a poojai room, a hall with a balcony, two rooms with baths attached. A staircase in the hall leads to another room in the 2nd floor - this is the "music-cum-office" room for Krithika and Arvind. Arvind has purchased and fitted split ACs in all the three rooms. Lot of thought has gone behind the design and plan of the wood-work etc and Krithika and Arvind should be praised for their hard work these 10 months.
We disposed off many old furniture, vessels, and other items at Besantnagar itself. The window AC was purchased by Saroja and the split AC was fitted in the new house. The old washing machine, gas stove, pedestal fan, the small steel cupboard, the wooden box (that stood with us for over 25 years), the computer table were all disposed off. We carried our steel cupboard, and Krithika's cupboard was taken by her mother.
The packers came at 6-30 AM on 29th May and the first load was transported by 7-30 AM. Took four trips to transport everything. In between, we had lunch (ordered from a caterer, Sarada mami) at TSG's house. We two entered our new, own house at 5 PM.
Settling in the new house took more than a week since minor wood-work and painting touch-up tasks were going on after 29 May. We had breakfast, lunch, dinner ordered from the caterer for the first 3 days. Krithika started cooking from Wednesday 1st June.
We got the new milk card transferred from Adyar zone to Palavakkam zone on 7 June; our new milk booth at Thiruvanmiyur will be 120. Near sudha's house.
God is great and He has blessed us all with the new house. We pray to Him for the blessings.
