Searching..

We are searching for a new apartment, as our lease is about to end this month. The criteria for our new home are

1. It should be near some good preschool for mm.
If the preschool is nearby, we do not have to buy a car, as public transport in not good in our area.
2. It should have hardwood floors.
I don't want mm to lay down and rolls in carpeted floors and also it is convenient to put my new born in a wooden floor. mm pukes at least once in 3 weeks. It is easy to manage a wooden floor than a carpeted one. I done know how people manage a carpeted floor with small babies and toddlers.
3. The unit should be in ground level.
mm often jump and run and play. And our neighbor who is below our unit is getting disturbed by his activities. whenever mm runs or play she complains/knocks the floor harder than him. She works as a child research scientist(she seems to know a lot about kids). We don't want to disturb our new neighbor too.
4. It should be within our budget.
Main thing. We cannot give away all our money to the land lord ;-)

Actually, we saw a lot of houses and if one fits in the condition the other will not. At last we found one such unit and we packed everything in our home. We dismantled the shelves, cot etc and were ready to move into the apartment in 2 days while the house owner demanded for one more month of security deposit. Hmm... enga kitayey vaa. bye bye solllitome.
Thank god, our house was not rented to anyone else, so we extended our contract and are continuing our search. Lets see how it goes...
