Shared accomodation cus it is cheaper and you have the freedom to live as u want to, come in wenevah u want to and bring in anyone u want to.. Literally.. PGs suck!!<br /><br />the other two replies - those houses have already gone.. so no use thinkin abt it..<br /><br />Shared acomodation is wat i am lookin for, and have tried all possible means to get the leads.. and notin has worked out yet.. except for gettin a roomie :-P<br /><br />prices are mind blowing.. for 1BHK you would have to pay a minimum of 10K as rent.. electricity, water extra.. with a deposit of 12 months rent!! well well well.. u see, wat i'm talkin abt now..<br /><br />so then i've decided to stay with my cousin atleast for the next few months.. the distance - will have to jump 3 trains.. almost 1 and a half hour of one way travel.. and in the rains, it wil be all the more messy!! in the bus.. not less that 2 hrs..<br /><br />this saturday, i'm gonna check out some of the places in Muumbai - and I'm sure its gonna be a f***in two days of home searchin..<br /><br />for the moment.. lemme get bac to long - distance home searchin :-P<br /><br />keep loggin in to know more abt Mumbai - the dream city and my experiences wit the same<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28025584-114794787647415474?l=moombhai.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~PiScEaNaTeD~http://www.blogger.com/profile/00290110267579694015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28025584.post-1147680228183598362006-05-15T00:53:00.000-07:002006-05-16T00:00:13.546-07:00yes.. 15 days and counting..<br /><br />I just can't wait to get there..<br /><br />The City of Dreams ..<br /><br />The dream Company..<br /><br />The lost friends..<br /><br />and more fun ..<br /><br />I'm startin a new chapter of <a href="http://romancinmalyf.blogspot.com">ma LYF</a> .. in MuMBai ..<br /><br />Mumbai, as most of you know, is on the west coast of India and quite popular among the younger generations of the country for its lifestyle, pubs, discs and the BollyWood.<br /><br />The very thot of going to MuMBai drives me <a href="http://paglee.blogspot.com">CraZee</a> ..<br />crazee for I'l be livin alone..<br />crazee for it wil be <a href="http://romancinmalyf.blogspot.com">ma LYF</a>..<br />and yes.. the dream of movin to the city by June this Year is fulfiled.<br /><br />But.. dreams in MuMBai are fulfilled only wen u get the rite accomodation<br /><br />to be continued .....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28025584-114768022818359836?l=moombhai.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~PiScEaNaTeD~http://www.blogger.com/profile/00290110267579694015noreply@blogger.com0
