Palace or Just another ELBOW ROOM?

Yes! We’re almost there, Petrol is almost the same price as a Kingfisher Beer. So what is the next hot topic in Singara Chennai? A tiny dome shaped structure in the corner of Wallajah road, a mini concrete jungle in the busy streets of Anna Nagar, a sizeable bungalow in the narrow streets of Adyar? A house. A personal request to the house owners and the renters – We are mostly middle class people, sadly, everyone of us HAVE to agree to your 300 page rulebook before boiling the milk on the auspicious day during the Raahukaalam or Yamagandam while the visitors eating only food and giving only small small gifts come. 

       Here is a list of questions which are commonly asked and add further vent to the tenants anger.

First-u

1         Neenga Vegetarian dhaane?

Ans) Aama, Naan Vegetarian. Secondly, What difference is it going to make to your style of living at home ? I live in the house and I eat what my taste buds favor.  Maybe sponsoring for the phenyl bottle for the cleaning of the floors can be done by us. Cleaning will be done by us too. Why you bother? We don’t sit in your house for lunch, DO WE?

Next-u

2           Are you basically BACHELOR?

Ans) Why? For one bachelor you no give house, but when 3 bachelors come with 40000 money; you allow. WHY?

4            How many will visit your place?

Ans) My cousins are not from the U.S or U.K to call me up and say, Hey dude of the dood, Iam come  home in the next one hour da, please put the A/C and keep. Nothing is planned in advance. We're not part of the Al-Qaeda nor the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Visitors may even end up staying for a week just for the sake of half a dozen bananas.

5            The parking charges you see basically ..

Ans) You can’t expect me to park my Mercedez on the streets when I have a house. Neither can I keep the car inside your house nor on my head. Parking is part of the RENT.

6             Electricity, Water, Maintenance ...

Ans) Brother, Am I not going to LIVE in that house? So, the repair works and the EB come under my bill, doesn’t it? Why you show such cheap behavior for that extra ONE rupee in that ONE unit of electricity?

7             First ten months advance you can give to me by the …

Ans) That is MY MONEY. Does that mean you cannot kick me out of the house for first 10 months? I guess you should return it to me after a point of time too.

8             Do you grow lions, tigers, dogs, cats, pigs …

Ans) What are those poor little creatures going to do disrupt the peace and sanctity in your house? Maybe they will contribute manure to your plants sometimes, maybe even to your clothes but that won’t be too frequent…

These are just a few questions. There are more baffling questions in store for people who are so desperate for a place to park their items in this city. It’s high time the house owners realized this. So my dear brothers and sisters,  BE CAREFUL!  Whether they’ve realized It or not, only TIME will tell …
