Wow! I and Rathi are married for 10 years now! The fruits of our marriage - 2 kids gave us a great start today with a deep kiss and a nice greeting card, signed and worded by them nicely! :) Took the day-off from office and spent the most part of it with the family. Enjoyed the "payasam" and "vadai" and a heavy lunch. Though not in office, Blackberry kept updating with minute by minute happening. I will be writing about the 20th anniversary in the same space with more enthusiasm and accomplishments!
Folks, Finally the good news is here to announce. I have started construction of my dream house in Bangalore. It all started early this year (2008)! I visited my daughter's friend Janani on a weekend and shared her father's experience in building their duplex house in a 30x40 sqft plot. I liked the house especially the sun-light passing staircase. That's when I decided to go for my own house. Luckily I bought a 30x40 plot near Electronic City - Singasandra village in the year 2003 for a throw-away price (now). After 4+ years the value of the land in those areas have skyrocketted - almost 7 times. Then I got in touch with my architect - referred by Janani's father - in M arch 2008. Went through couple of round of discussions on the plan, saw some basic samples and then confirmed his services in April 2008 by paying a decent advance. (The cost the architect's charge is based on the building costs - but I negotiated for a fixed cost as the actual costs will vary...
